I'm writing a shell script to be run with jjs -scripting under Java 8. However, a key requirement is that I need to be able to write to a number of files. (So I can't just print() to stdout and redirect.)
There's handily readFully to read a file, but I don't see any writeFully, which seems odd to me.
I thought probably I could just $EXEC an echo command, but I can't get that to work:
jjs> x='some string'
some string
jjs> $EXEC("echo '"+x+"' >test.out");
some string >test.out
So my next thought is that I have to load up and call the appropriate Java classes, but that seems like it's over-complicating a simple function. What am I missing?
The best I could figure out was to do it via the Java FileWriter class. For example, I had an array of links I needed written to a file:
var FileWriter=Java.type("java.io.FileWriter");
var olinkfile = caldir+"/"+year+"_links.html";
var fw = new FileWriter(olinkfile);
fw.write(links.join("\n"));
fw.write("\n");
fw.close(); // forgetting to close it results in a truncated file
Although it would have been nice for JJS to provide a function to do this directly from JavaScript without having to instantiate the FileWriter class manually, this really isn't too much code. And once you've done it once it seems almost obvious.

maybe it is because I am not handy with js, but how can I load a .json file from geth console? I want this in order to avoid the clumpsy way of copy-paste each raw abi content for each one of the contracts var abi_1 = [...]; var abi_2 = [...]; .... I know the console is javascript, so I tried with require (easy with nodejs), but it doesn't work. It is impossible in geth (js console) to load an abi_1.json and store it in a variable abi_1 in the same way I easily pickle a file in python? Thank you and hope this question makes sense to the community.
As specified in the documentation[1], the geth console uses an implementation of ECMAScript in go called goja[2]. From what I know, classical JS (so no nodejs) does not have any IO functionnalities...
However, maybe you could use the 'loadScript' function available in the console + some bash.
For instance, let's say that your JSON file is located in /tmp/abi.json. All your JS operations can be stored in another file (let's say /tmp/operations.js).
You could use geth attach http://localhost:8545 --exec "var abi = $(cat /tmp/abi.json); loadScript('/tmp/operations.js')"
For example :
/tmp/file.json contains { 'test': 'Hello, world'}
geth attach http://localhost:8545 --exec "var a = $(cat /tmp/file.json); console.log(a.test)"
Would print Hello, world!
That's not a perfect solution but it could be convenient to you.

I want to identify few properties during my run and form a json object which I would like to write to a ".json"file and save it on the disk.
var target = UIATarget.localTarget();
var properties = new Object();
var jsonObjectToRecord = {"properties":properties}
jsonObjectToRecord.properties.name = "My App"
UIALogger.logMessage("Pretty Print TEST Log"+jsonObjectToRecord.properties.name);
var str = JSON.stringify(jsonObjectToRecord)
UIALogger.logMessage(str);
// -- CODE TO WRITE THIS JSON TO A FILE AND SAVE ON THE DISK --
I tried :
// Sample code to see if it is possible to write data
// onto some file from my automation script
function WriteToFile()
{
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
set s = fso.CreateTextFile("/Volumes/DEV/test.txt", True);
s.writeline("HI");
s.writeline("Bye");
s.writeline("-----------------------------");
s.Close();
}
AND
function WriteFile()
{
// Create an instance of StreamWriter to write text to a file.
sw = new StreamWriter("TestFile.txt");
// Add some text to the file.
sw.Write("This is the ");
sw.WriteLine("header for the file.");
sw.WriteLine("-------------------");
// Arbitrary objects can also be written to the file.
sw.Write("The date is: ");
sw.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
sw.Close();
}
But still unable to read and write data to file from ui automation instruments
Possible Workaround ??
To redirect to the stdout if we can execute a terminal command from my ui automation script. So can we execute a terminal command from the script ?
Haven't Tried :
1. Assuming we can include the library that have those methods and give it a try .
Your assumptions are good, But the XCode UI Automation script is not a full JavaScript.
I don't think you can simply program a normal browser based JavaScript in the XCode UI Automation script.
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
Is not a JavaScript, it is VBScript which will only work in Microsoft Platforms and testing tools like QTP.
Scripting.FileSystemObject
Is an ActiveX object which only exists in Microsoft Windows
Only few JavaScript functions like basic Math, Array,...etc..Are provided by the Apple JavaScript library, so you are limited to use only the classes provided here https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/UIAutomationRef/
If you want to do more scripting then Try Selenium IOS Driver http://ios-driver.github.io/ios-driver/
Hey so this is something that I was looking into for a project but never fully got around to implementing so this answer will be more of a guide of what to do than step by step copy and paste.
First you're going to need to create a bash script that writes to a file. This can be as simple as
!/bin/bash
echo $1 >> ${filename.json}
Then you call this from inside your Xcode Instruments UIAutomation tool with
var target = UIATarget.localTarget();
var host = target.host();
var result = host.performTaskWithPathArgumentsTimeout("your/script/path", ["Object description in JSON format"], 5);
Then after your automation ends you can load up the file path on your computer to look at the results.
EDIT: This will enable to write to a file line by line but the actual JSON formatting will be up to you. Looking at some examples I don't think it would be difficult to implement but obviously you'll need to give it some thought at first.
I am currently writing a JavaScript script for the Microsoft JScript Runtime Environment. It's not in a browser, but rather going to be run more like a SysAdmin would use VBScript. I've written a lot of code, and while some of it is specific for what needs to be accomplished, a majority of it is supporting framework for the script to do what it needs to do. I'd like to use this sum of code in other future scripting adventures, but as to my current knowledge, I would have to copy and paste these mini-libraries over and over again, and well, that's just an update nightmare for one and two, it's inefficient. I know it's possible to dynamically load JS when I have a window or document, I know it's possible to require() JS files in Node.js, but is this possible in the raw JScript Runtime for MS?
Look into the Windows Script File (*.wsf) format. One of its features is to allow for includes like you're describing. An example taken from the linked documentation:
<job id="IncludeExample">
<script language="JScript" src="FSO.JS"/>
<script language="VBScript">
' Get the free space for drive C.
s = GetFreeSpace("c:")
WScript.Echo s
</script>
</job>
where "FSO.JS" contains the JScript library.
Assuming your talking about the WSH, you can load a file and eval the contents, which is much the same as including it.
var incfso=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
include = function(x) {
eval(incfso.OpenTextFile(x,1).ReadAll());
}

I couldn't find a global object like "window" for jscript, but you can sort of create one.
var host = this;
var test = "hello-world";
var messagebox = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
if (host.test) {
messagebox.Popup("host.test exists, value = " + host.test);
} else {
messagebox.Popup("host.test does not exist.");
}
I think "host" should now effectively be the global object. (the example works for me anyway)
I'm trying to use NetUtil.asyncCopy to append data from one file to the end of another file from a Firefox extension. I have based this code upon a number of examples at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Code_snippets/File_I_O, particularly the 'Copy a stream to a file' example. Given what it says on that page, my code below:
Creates nsIFile objects for the file to copy from and file to append to and initialises these objects with the correct paths.
Creates an output stream to the output file.
Runs the NetUtil.asyncCopy function to copy between the file (which, I believe, behaves as an nsIInputStream) and the output stream.
I run this code as append_text_from_file("~/CopyFrom.txt", "~/AppendTo.txt");, but nothing gets copied across. The Appending Text and After ostream dumps appear on the console, but not the Done or Error dumps.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I'm fairly new to both Firefox extensions and javascript (although I am a fairly experienced programmer) - so I may be doing something really silly. If my entire approach is wrong then please let me know - I would have thought that this approach would allow me to append a file easily, and asynchronously, but it may not be possible for some reason that I don't know about.
function append_text_from_file(from_filename, to_filename) {
var from_file = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
from_file.initWithPath(from_filename);
var to_file = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
to_file.initWithPath(to_filename);
dump("Appending text\n");
var ostream = FileUtils.openFileOutputStream(to_file, FileUtils.MODE_WRONLY | FileUtils.MODE_APPEND)
dump("After ostream\n");
NetUtil.asyncCopy(from_file, ostream, function(aResult) {
dump("Done\n");
if (!Components.isSuccessCode(aResult)) {
// an error occurred!
dump(aResult);
dump("Error!\n")
}
});
}
asyncCopy() requires an input stream not a file.
you can do this:
var fstream = Cc["#mozilla.org/network/file-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIFileInputStream);
fstream.init(from_file, 0x01, 4, null);
NetUtil.asyncCopy(fstream, ostream, function(aResult)....
So similar to ALt-Shift-F in Netbeans, is there a to do this right in the ide in TestComplete? Not sure if this is possible or if anyone can think of a workaround to autoFormat without leaving the TestComplete window.
I'm trying to get the below solution to work with http://jsbeautifier.org/ for javascript / Jscript code in TestComplete.
Thanks
Great question!
There is no built-in function for that. So, we should not expect any solution to be 100% convenient - it is just not a simple task to modify the current script editor contents (if at all possible). So, whatever you do, it will still be some kind of compromise.
In general, the task is three-fold:
Get the current unit code.
Format the code.
Put the code back to the unit.
According to my understanding, items 1 and 3 can be accomplished only by creating a TestComplete plug-in - accessing editors for project nodes is not an easy thing.
UPDATE: silly me! There is a way to access the script editor code - I've updated the below part.
What will help us avoid switching to a different app, are the Script Extensions:
We create a custom Checkpoint in the form of a Script Extension, and install it to TestComplete. As a result, we get a button on the toolbar that we can click to invoke our code.
In the design time action, we call some code that reads the editor contents, then uses external code formatting functionality, and replaces the editor contents with the formatted code.
It would extremely interesting to see the implementations other TestComplete users can suggest! As a start, I am posting a solution that includes using an external web site to format VBScript code (http://www.vbindent.com/). I know that the starter of the post is probably using JScript, but I have not found a JScript formatter yet.
My solution is a simple Script Extension. I can't post a file here, so I will post the code of the two Script Extension files:
Description file:
<!-- Description.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ScriptExtensionGroup>
<Category Name="Checkpoints">
<ScriptExtension Name="VBScript Code Indent" Author="SmartBear Software" Version="0.1" HomePage="smartbear.com">
<Script Name="VBIndent.js">
<DesignTimeAction Name="Indent Current VBScript Unit" Routine="DesignTimeExecute"/>
</Script>
<Description>
Indents VBScript code in the currently active unit.
</Description>
</ScriptExtension>
</Category>
</ScriptExtensionGroup>
Code file:
// VBIndent.js
function DesignTimeExecute()
{
if (CodeEditor.IsEditorActive)
{
var newCode = IndentVBSCode_Through_VBIndent(CodeEditor.Text);
if (null == newCode)
return;
CodeEditor.Text = newCode;
}
}
function IndentVBSCode_Through_VBIndent(codeToIndent)
{
var URL_VBIndent = "http://www.vbindent.com/?indent";
var httpObj = Sys.OleObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");
httpObj.open("POST", URL_VBIndent, false);
httpObj.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
httpObj.send("thecode=" + escape(codeToIndent));
var responseText = httpObj.responseText;
// Extract the indented code from the response
var rx = /<textarea name=\"thecode\".*?>((.*\n)*?)<\/textarea>/;
matches = rx.exec(responseText);
if (null == matches)
{
return null;
}
codeIndented = matches[1];
return codeIndented;
}
After you create these files, and put them to something like "\Bin\Extensions\ScriptExtensions\VBIndent", and click "File | Install Script Extensions | Reload", you will see a new "Indent Current VBScript Unit" item in the custom checkpoints drop-down button on the Tools toolbar. Clicking the element will format the VBScript code in the currently active editor.
So, this is to give a clear idea of what a solution can look like. Better suggestions are welcome! Share your thoughts!
