Data Element | Custom Code | Products info

Hi Community,

I have trouble retrieving information from a data element.

I try to retrieve the value of the "condition" variable of my products in a data element "Adobe Analytics - Product - Condition".

Here are some screenshots to explain what I did:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the custom code inside:

Returns 1 if the value is "new", else if it's "used" return 0.

 

 

var productCondition; switch (true){ case (digitalData.product[0].attributes.condition === "new"): productCondition = 1; break; case (digitalData.product[0].attributes.condition === "used"): productCondition = 0; break; } return productCondition;

 

 

 

 

 

What I can see from the console is the following: 

First I tested the code itself. Then I just tried to call my Data Element.

I'm getting the expected result with the code, but when I call the Data Element, it says it's likely setup incorrectly.

I don't get why. I pushed my data element in my development environment. I'm doing my tests on my development website but I'm not understanding the error here.

 

Does anyone has any suggestions here please ?

 

Thank you

    Hi @yuhuisg & @charles_thirupathi,

     

    Thanks for the cleaner code shared @yuhuisg, really appreciated!

     

    @charles_thirupathi Thanks for sharing those tips to check the property AND the environment. It helped me to find the issue.

    In fact we have 2 channels on the development environment. And my modifications were published on the channel2. But I was checking the Channel1.

     

    In case it can help anyone else, here are the steps I went through :

    I used the Adobe Experience Platform Debugger to switch the channel.

    So I went in the Launch tab on the left, then clicked "Actions" 

    Then I just had to select my property (1) and the correct channel (2).

    Firstly, that code looks like an "abuse" of the switch statement. I'd rewrite it like so:

    var productCondition;
switch (digitalData.product[0].attributes.condition) {
  case "new":
    productCondition = 1;
    break;
  case "used":
    productCondition = 0;
    break;
}

return productCondition;

    Anyway, you can try debugging further by setting the initial value of productCondition to your product's condition attribute, i.e.

    var productCondition = digitalData.product[0].attributes.condition;

    and see if that condition gets returned, instead of "undefined", when you run _satellite.getVar().

      Hi Swanan,

       

      Have you verified property and environment of the Launch Embedded Code present in the page your testing? if not kindly verify using syntax's _satellite.environment.stage & _satellite.property.name. The reason for  undefined may be the Data Element your testing is not deployed in the respective Environment you're testing. Also verify the DataElement Name you've provided in _satellite.getVar() syntax(better copy the name from the dataelement you've created). 

      If any of the above doesn't resolve the issue kindly share the URL so that i can check and able to find the issue.

       

      Thanks,

      Charles
