Xrm.Navigation.OpenUrl does nothing

Posted on by Safety Nerves

I have added some Javascript to an opportunity form to test for appid in the URL, and, if not present, reopen the page with the appid included.

This is my code:

function checkAndRedirectToAppId(executionContext)
{
	var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
	var oId = executionContext.getFormContext().data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, '');
	var uRL = globalContext.getCurrentAppUrl();
	if (uRL.toUpperCase().includes("APPID") == false) {
		var newURL = uRL.concat("/main.aspx","?appid=d12fc2ac-c9ad-4391-adb4-8c471838b68d","&pagetype=entityrecord","&etn=opportunity","&id=",oId);
		Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(newURL);
	}		
}

Unfortunately Xrm.Navigation.OpenUrl seems to do nothing.

I cannot use Xrm.Naviation.OpenForm (which was my other avenue of exploration) as it doesn't seem to support the appid as a parameter.

Hello,

Your if condition will never go to false statement. In fact, globalContext.getCurrentAppUrl() will always contains "APPID". Please refer to documentation:

Actually it does. If the appid is missing in the URL it returns just xxxxxxx.crmx.dynamics.com

without the appid. My first test was to "alert" rather than Xrm.Navigation.openUrl to check the conditional test was working as expected.

Please check if you can find your application in Model-driven Apps in the default solution. globalContext.getCurrentAppUrl() works for Model-driven Apps only.

The app is in the default solution.

The issue I have is not with the globalContext.getCurrentAppUrl() part of the script, but the Xrm.Navigation.openUrl part.
