    You can still test your scenario with the below code

     

    function test()
    {
       doStuff(context.get("genericAuthButton"));
    }

    function doStuff(genButPath)//Pass your hasp map string value
{

      var localBtnPath = eval(genButPath);//here your genButPath shouold be your Object FullName

      if(localBtnPath.Exists)
      {
            localBtnPath.TextInput("period_codeTI").Keys(context.get("PeriodCode"));
      }
      else
      {
            Log.Error("Object not exists for the Fullname" + genButPath);
      } 
}

Hi,

 

Try the below function and share what you got

 

function doStuff(genButPath)//Pass your hasp map string value
{

      var localBtnPath = eval(genButPath);//here your genButPath shouold be your Object FullName

      if(localBtnPath.Exists)
      {
            localBtnPath.TextInput("period_codeTI").Keys(context.get("PeriodCode"));
      }
      else
      {
            Log.Error("Object not exists for the Fullname" + genButPath);
      } 
}

Hi Shankar,

 

The following code will work if i add the full name locally, Reason i'm trying to read the path from the property file is to avoid having a long string in my code, rather to store the long string on my property and just call it when i need it.
