Deprecated if throws error and makes me sad

1 
{
  "Command": "if",
  "Target": "window.document.getElementById('core_person_address_address1').value.split(' ')[0].toUpperCase()==='PO';",
  "Value": ""
},

This command was previously working, but now returns: Error in condition of if: Cannot read property ‘value’ of null

If I convert it to a v2 if, the same error is returned. I’m wondering how to deal with this?

Hmm… we did not change anything with storeEval and if in V5.0.

=> I tested in the old V4.2.6 and get the same error. Maybe something on the website changed?

I tested that the id still exists. The code works in the browser console, but consistently throws when running the macro with v5. What do you mean you tested in v4.2.6 and get the same error?

The code works in the browser console

But did it work in the old Kantu? If you can send me a test URL, I can test it here as well.

Yes, it worked earlier today, then the update happened and I tried to run the code, and no bueno.

If I break the original command into two commands, it works:

{
  "Command": "storeEval",
  "Target": "window.document.getElementById('core_person_address_address1').value.split(' ')[0].toUpperCase();",
  "Value": "TEST"
},
{
  "Command": "if",
  "Target": "${TEST}==='PO';",
  "Value": ""
},

I am glad you found a solution. The same will work with executeScript:

{
  "Name": "getvalue",
  "CreationDate": "2019-6-4",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "https://ui.vision/demo/executescript",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "type",
      "Target": "id=sometext",
      "Value": "hello world"
    },
    {
      "Command": "storeEval",
      "Target": "window.document.getElementById('sometext').value.split(' ')[0].toUpperCase();",
      "Value": "t1"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${t1}",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript",
      "Target": "return window.document.getElementById('sometext').value.split(' ')[0].toUpperCase();",
      "Value": "t2"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${t2}",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

Typically, the if statement is false and the workaround works. However, today the macro encountered a true situation and it creates an error: (also, converting the workaround code to an if_v2 does not create the error, there does seem to be some kind of regression with if_deprecated)

It seems this is the same issue as described and confirmed here: [Issue #578] Kantu V5 gotoIf_v1 window.location.href not extracting webpage values anymore - #2 by admin
