January 2025 (version 2.25.01.30)

reviewed: 7 October 2025

Tooling

• VSCode now displays a warning diagnostic when an invalid inheritance path is detected

• VSCode now displays an error diagnostic when a translation is invalid

• Added GoTo and Peek support for translations in VSCode
  • You can now right-click (or Ctrl+Hover/Click) to GoTo or Peek a translation, enabling you to view (and edit) translation values inline and navigate directly to the corresponding translation in the translation file

Ctrl+Hover:

Right Click:

Inline Peek:

• Added GoTo and Peek support for @qualifiers in VSCode
  • Similar to translations, you can now jump directly to the underlying qualifier code for seamless navigation and inline editing

• Added GoTo and Peek support for script inheritance in VSCode
  • Similar to translations, you can now jump directly to the parent script, enabling smoother navigation and inline editing

• Added tooling to open VSCode directly from the client browser
  • In development mode with the VSCode layer enabled, you can now press Ctrl+Alt+V in the web browser to open the page function directly in VSCode
  • This feature opens the corresponding page and function as defined in the route for the current page's URL

• Enhanced @qualifier IntelliSense item summaries and documentation formatting
  • Properties now indicate whether they are mandatory or optional
  • Added links to online documentation where applicable for easier access to additional resources

• Improved handler and function IntelliSense item summaries and documentation formatting for better clarity and readability
• Added a new snippet for Lambda functions

• Improved DDL generation by adding a new right click explorer menu entry for “Generate DDL”
  • This also allows multi selecting Business Objects, to generate DLL for multiple Business Objects in one action

• Introduced CaseMaster Test Scripts (Unit Tests)
  • A new script type has been added to facilitate testing
  • Any public functions within scripts under the /test folder will now be detected by VSCode as tests
  • A new test function handler has been included to help with writing and managing tests

New Functions & Features

• Added support for select groups in attribute options

• Added isGuid() function to validate if a string is a valid GUID
• Added a new signature attribute and input type

• Introduced drag and drop page qualifiers
  • These qualifiers enable elements to become draggable and droppable
  • Drops can be handled inline using JavaScript or managed by a named web service or lambda function
  • <@page/draggable>
  • <@page/droppable>
• Added language.getTranslation( [language], [key], [value1...] )
  • This function allows retrieving a translation for a specified language
• Added a Personally Identifiable Information (PII) flag for attributes
  • This feature helps easily identify and locate business objects and attributes that contain personally identifiable information

• Added the tdg (Test Data Generation) function handler
  • This handler provides functions for generating random values for various types of information (e.g., telephone number, email, postcode, NIN, etc.)
  • The data is driven by a CaseMaster test script, which can be customized or extended as needed
• This script has been designed to insure that the data generated is safe for testing
• Phone numbers, email address, postcodes, IP addresses, NINs etc. will never resolve to an IRL data point
• Currently the data is heavily EN based, but if links to resource providing information around test data for other regions can be provided we can integrate these as needed
• I.e. does NL provide a test range of NIN numbers, or reserved testing blocks for telephone and mobile numbers? etc.
  • A new <@bo/attribute> property, testDataValue, has been added to allow defining test data on the attribute level
  • A new bo.setTestData( [bo], {group} ) function has been introduced, which will evaluate and set the attribute defined test data values against the business object

• Added a JavaScript function handler
  • This handler allows for quickly generating JavaScript statements for set actions, and can be integrated anywhere that accepts JavaScript
  • The handler will take care of any encoding and escaping

Enhancements

• Functions that accept a URL as a parameter now directly support @url values and path syntax values
  • Manually invoking @url qualifiers is no longer necessary (but still supported)
    • For backward compatibility, a null path syntax will resolve to the base URL (~)
    • While a null @url address will continue to resolve to the current URL (#).

• Added excluded support to <@page/table/row>
• Added search group to the sequence Business Object
  • The maintenance search filter now works as expected
• Updated the user login expiration page to utilize translations
• Implemented updates based on penetration testing feedback:
  • Only users in the development group can add users to the development group
• Removed the default SqlRS batch size limit of 999,999
• Added excluded support to <@page/title>
• Added min and max support to the random() function
• Improved accessibility support with ARIA attributes (WCAG)
• Query string parameter names no longer encode $ prefixes (enhanced OData query support)
• <@page/data/form> setFocus now sets focus on any named element in the DOM
• Invalid file paths in the URL are now handled as a 404 repose
  • These were previously unhandled and resulted in a 500 response
  • Whilst not a security issue, this was sometimes flagged in penetration testing

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a parse error when a lambda string starts with whitespace
• Resolved an issue where context getter values were not included in trace expression live dumps
• Fixed user login expiry prompts incorrectly displaying for systems using OAuth login
• Fixed the invalid reports row exclusion, that prevented active reports from displaying for some users
• Fixed an issue where boDesc.setAttrDocumentType() incorrectly set the type as a Boolean
