Using "split" function inside of widget

Community Usage questions

Hi!

When I declare:

var myVariable = myVariable.split(".")[0]

In a widget's colorFill field, it breaks. I can't figure it out.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Can you post the full content of the colorFill property ?

Sure thing, it's:

JS{{

var qlab_num = @{cueNumber.value}
var gp_num = @{gp_song_index.value}

var qlab_split = qlab_num.split(".")[0]

if (gp_num === qlab_split) {
   return "green"
   } else {
   return "yellow"
   }

}}

Are you confident qlab_num is a string ? You could write this to avoid errors in case it's not:

String(qlab_num).split(".")[0]

That did it. I actually had to convert both variables to a string before comparing them, and it works! Thank you for getting back so quickly.

Yes, === is strict regarding types:
"1" == 1 // true
"1" === 1 // false
