Add summary for JavaScript functions to intellisense

[Antonio_Haynes]

Hello,

 Im new to test complete and javascript, Im wondering if there is any way that I can add a summary to my custom functions in javascript so that when im trying to use the intellisense I get a discription of what that function does.

As an added note, I have looked for this topic on the smartbear help pages and from google, with no luck .

I'd also like to know how to do this or if it's even possible.

Hi Antonio, unfortunately there is no way to add summary information to you JScript functions if they are within a Script Unit.

The only case where it can be done is if the functions appear in a Script Extension. via the Description.xml file.

This unfortuately has the drawback in that Script Extensions cannot access external code via //USEUNIT, they are required to be completely self contained.

If your functions belong to a user defined object, e.g. myFunction() in the following module MyModule

var MyModule(function(){

  return {

    myFunction: function() {

      return 123;

    }

  };

})();

then there is no way to get the function myFunction() to appear in the intellisense at all.

That is unfortunate, I was really hoping to be able to use that kind of functionallity. Thanks for the reply. it is nice to know that I cannot at least.
