I am working through exercises in 'Mastering Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement' book by Deepesh Somani

I have created a web resource and then updated the properties of the Contacts form to include that resource.

When opening the form I get

Web resource method does not exist: progressIndicatorSession Id: 0533bec9-2936-48eb-9be7-74c59e5b0035Correlation Id: 7f893731-dc02-413c-bc02-c226fb06f35fTime: Sun Dec 22 2019 16:21:50 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)

The log reads:

Any clues as to what i am missing?

Hi,

This issue isn't really related to the Unified Interface, but from the error message "ReferenceError: Web resource method does not exist: progressIndicator", I would check the JavaScript stored in your web resource.

It looks like it is missing the progressIndicator function, or it is maybe improperly written - do you write your code with with Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code or similar to check for errors?

Henry,

Having taken your advice I am now using Visual Studio Code and I got one the previous script working, however I am still not very far up the curve. Could I push you for a little more help?

I have entered the following into Visual Studio Code and it seemed to look OK:

function suggestZipCodes() {

// defined possible ZipCode

ZipCodes = [

{ name: '94102' },

{ name: '94103' },

{ name: '94104' },

{ name: '94105' },

{ name: '94107' },

{ name: '94108' }];

var OnZipCodekeyPress = function (fld) {

var ZipCodetxt = Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_postalcode").getValue();

resultSet = {

results: new Array(),

commands: {

id: "ZipCodecmd",

label: "Search in Bing",

action: function () {

window.open(" http:// bing.com");

// Open Bing URL

} } };

var ZipCodetxtLowerCase = ZipCodetxt.toLowerCase();

for (i = 0; i < ZipCodes.length; i + +) {

if (ZipCodetxtLowerCase === ZipCodes[i]. name.substring(0, ZipCodetxtLowerCase.length).toLowerCase()) {

resultSet.results.push({

id: i,

fields: [ZipCodes[ i]. name]

});

}

if (resultSet.results.length >= 10) {

break;} }

if (resultSet.results.length > 0) {

fld.getEventSource().showAutoComplete( resultSet);// Show Auto Complete

}

else {

fld.getEventSource().hideAutoComplete();

// Hide Auto Complete

}

}; Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_postalcode").addOnKeyPress(OnZipCodekeyPress);

}

However, when i create that as a web resource, and add that to the form, I get a similar error to before:

Web resource method does not exist: suggestZipCodes

It looks like it's the same error as before, but this time your code looks OK (you might want to fix the "i + +" to "i++").

Have you made sure that the JavaScript web resource that contains the suggestZipCodes function is loaded on the form, looks like it isn't the case.

Have you published your customizations?

An updated screenshot of your Form Properties could help.

I have saved/published the Web Resource.

Updated the Form Properties.

Saved/published the form.

When you say 'suggestZipCodes' is loaded on the form,' is there anything i need to do beyond updating the properties?

Your properties look correct.

From the error message "ReferenceError: Web resource method does not exist: suggestZipCodes", it looks like there is a problem in the JavaScript in new_zipCodeAutoComplete web resource, the suggestZipCodes function isn't found.

Can you update the web resource by uploading the JavaScript file you have saved using Visual Studio Code?

Also, can you make sure that you do CTRL + F5 on the form when you do new tests?

ahh...a different error now:

When you say 'Can you update the web resource by uploading the JavaScript file you have saved using Visual Studio Code?'

...do you mean upload to here?

function suggestZipCodes() { // defined possible ZipCode ZipCodes = [ { name: '94102' }, { name: '94103' }, { name: '94104' }, { name: '94105' }, { name: '94107' }, { name: '94108' }]; var OnZipCodekeyPress = function (fld) { var ZipCodetxt = Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_postalcode").getValue(); resultSet = { results: new Array(), commands: { id: "ZipCodecmd", label: "Search in Bing", action: function () { window.open(" http:// bing.com"); // Open Bing URL } } }; var ZipCodetxtLowerCase = ZipCodetxt.toLowerCase(); for (i = 0; i < ZipCodes.length; i ) { if (ZipCodetxtLowerCase === ZipCodes[i].name.substring(0, ZipCodetxtLowerCase.length).toLowerCase()) { resultSet.results.push({ id: i, fields: [ZipCodes[ i]. name] }); } if (resultSet.results.length >= 10) {break;} } if (resultSet.results.length > 0) {fld.getEventSource().showAutoComplete( resultSet); // Show Auto Complete } else { fld.getEventSource().hideAutoComplete(); // Hide Auto Complete }}; Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_postalcode").addOnKeyPress(OnZipCodekeyPress); }

No I meant upload your JavaScript file (.js) in your "new_zipCodeAutoComplete" web resource, because there might be an issue with it if you used the Text Editor option.

Basically the way you configured your properties, the "new_zipCodeAutoComplete" JavaScript web resource should contain a suggestZipCodes function, and the error message says it's not the case.

Have done that now - (as a .js script??)

So my error is now:

So this is better, this indicates that your function now triggers

But there are issues with your code:

I suspect that the address1_postalcode field is not present on your form ("Cannot read property 'addOnKeyPress' of null"), so you should add it to your form for your code to work.
Note: it might look like the field is already present, because it's part of the "Address 1" field which is composite and because composite fields are not supported in Unified Interface, they are displayed as if each of the address composite field was added as a normal field to the form. In fact, composite fields have this system name on your form: address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_postalcode

Your code is probably not going to run in Unified Interface, because it uses a deprecated method that only works on the legacy web client: addOnKeyPress
This is documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/important-changes-coming#some-client-apis-are-deprecated
To check how your code behaves on the legacy web client, you can tweak your URL by removing the appid parameter, and by adding &forceUCI=0&forceClassic=1 to it
