9:18 AM

Brian Rowland 👍

9:18 AM

Kshitij Tripathi yes

9:18 AM

Rich Toomey Hear you

9:18 AM

John Dahl I have no sound and refreshing didn't work

9:19 AM

Ty Roach i've got sound

9:19 AM

John Dahl 😞

9:19 AM

Jerry Wong Great work James

9:19 AM

Robert Fedoruk '@John Dahl - check master volume and browser tab mutes.

9:19 AM

Adam Ray On Windows. I had to manually change my output device

9:19 AM

Jeff Jessie check output settings to ensure your output audio is ok. We have had reports of output being changed

9:19 AM

Vinod Varkey I had to switch to an iPad to get sound.

9:19 AM

John Dahl all good... I was just listening to the opening and it was fine

9:20 AM

Chuck Tomasi I would love to see a unit test management app. Chris Maloy had one years ago, but to be frank, it needs some updates.

9:20 AM

Nick Olmstead *gs.info because we are of course always in scope

9:20 AM

Chuck Tomasi I teach my students to use gs.info/debug/war/error because it's available in both global and scope.

9:20 AM

Robert Fedoruk gs.war? Sounds awesome.

9:20 AM

Willem Zeiler Need Raptor DB just for the logs

9:21 AM

Kshitij Tripathi it is a typo .. gs.warn is what Chuck meant

9:21 AM

John Dahl I think I like `gs.war` better

9:21 AM

Willem Zeiler gs.war is the more violent alternative

9:22 AM

Nick Simonelli Does anyone know if these are all being recorded for reviewing later?

9:23 AM

Slava Savitsky yes, they are

9:23 AM

Ty Roach yep

9:23 AM

Nick Simonelli Hey thanks!

9:23 AM

Daniel Evans https://www.youtube.com/@thenulledge

9:23 AM

Stephen Phayre They are and will be available at https://www.youtube.com/@thenulledge

9:23 AM

Bill Faschingbauer Sorry to kill the vibe but the reactions (fireworks) are very distracting.

9:24 AM

Stephen Phayre Apparently they can be disabled by the session presenter.

9:24 AM

Bill Faschingbauer Some of us have conditions that we can not control our attention

9:24 AM

Ty Roach probably a good feedback item for Jace & team (default = no fireworks)

9:24 AM

Chuck Tomasi Sorry, I turned the confetti off for now.

9:25 AM

Carleen Carter I can look into that.

9:26 AM

Itallo Brandão Zoom please 🙂

9:26 AM

Nick Olmstead Does Xplore integrate ESLint checks in scripts?

9:26 AM

Stephen Phayre It would probably be better if you had to right click or do something more than just click on the screen...

9:26 AM

Ty Roach oh man...now I'm missing those fireworks!! Nice job Carleen (or whoever turned them off)

9:26 AM

Jerry Wong Are we able to zoom onto the presentation screen?

9:27 AM

Ty Roach theres an arrow near the attendee number. toggle that to get full screen

9:28 AM

Nick Olmstead also going full screen on your browser (F11) helps a little

9:28 AM

David Nendza ya, thanks

9:28 AM

Jason Torres perfect

9:28 AM

Ty Roach nice James!

9:28 AM

John Dahl 👍

9:28 AM

Sharon VanLuyn-Prater better,thank you

9:28 AM

Chuck Tomasi Ohhh. didn't know there was RegEx workbench. Nice.

9:28 AM

Ty Roach but we miss your face now

9:28 AM

John Dahl regex is awesome... it uses the actual engine in the platform!

9:28 AM

Chuck Tomasi Once I had a parsing problem so I used RegEx... now I have two problems.

9:29 AM

Nick Simonelli We Lost our eye candy but I guess the presentation is the most important part 🤣

9:29 AM

Mohammad Ansari is it same as what we can do on regex101?

9:29 AM

Kathy Delbridge I love Regex

9:29 AM

John Dahl better!

9:30 AM

Kelly Logan Should there be audio? I don't see any Settings menus to set audio output.

9:30 AM

Chuck Tomasi Uh-oh. Running out of time.

9:30 AM

Tracy Curry This is really cool. I've looked at xplore before but didn't know what the heck I was doing but now I see how helpful it can be!

9:31 AM

David Nendza it's great

9:31 AM

Chuck Tomasi Oh, nevermind. You've got 30 minutes. Keep going. 🙂

9:31 AM

Robert Fedoruk If you want to dive deeper, I made a playlist for Xplore a few years back.

9:31 AM

Stephen Phayre This looks incredibly useful

9:31 AM

Nick Simonelli When I first joined on my phone I had to leave the session and come back for the audio to work, not sure why. But restarting the stream for me once worked. But yes, there is audio

9:32 AM

Axel Starosta Does it work during impersonation?

9:32 AM

Blake Molmen I Love Xplore... and I now realize I barely scratch the surface of what this this awesome tool can do!

9:32 AM

Sharon VanLuyn-Prater This is cool!

9:33 AM

Gokulkumar Velmanie If the impersonated user have admin rights, yes

9:34 AM

Nick Simonelli “JSON Prettifier” might be my most googled phrase, I’m embarrassed haha

9:34 AM

Chuck Tomasi I love the prettifier. Between that and the RegEx, I can do without two websites. #winning

9:35 AM

Bill Faschingbauer I assume Xplore can be loaded on PDI correct?

9:35 AM

Jarod M Yes, it's an update set

9:35 AM

Jarod M Works great on PDIs

9:36 AM

Chuck Tomasi '@Bill Faschingbauer Yes

9:38 AM

Chuck Tomasi Shut up and take my money!

9:38 AM

Axel Starosta so no more background script testing, cool

9:38 AM

Jonathan Yates Any plans to add an update notification in the tool? Just something that shows on the UI telling me there is a new version available, or even a subscription to get an email?

9:38 AM

Jeff Jessie Awesome the tools out from the community are so cool

9:38 AM

Dorian Kersch Do you find people use Xplore in production or is it mostly a subprod tool?

9:39 AM

Peter Carnochan How well does it work with ServiceNows latest version of JavaScript

9:39 AM

Felipe Alzate I have been using Xplore since 2016

9:39 AM

Felipe Alzate I include it in my scripting classes

9:39 AM

Nick Voss Do these scripts go into the same execution history as bg scripts? and any experience dealing with security concerns from infosec departments?

9:39 AM

Adi Sandu where do you teach ?

9:39 AM

Alexei Federovitch Xplore is my favorite tool.

9:40 AM

Mohammad Ansari Is there a recommended best practice for using Xplore in production vs. non-prod instances?

9:40 AM

Peter Carnochan Mine too!

9:40 AM

Nick Voss Also I would think not, but any tooling in Xplore that can assist with flow designer/flow executions etc.

9:40 AM

Mark Laucus I need to use this more

9:40 AM

Jeff Jessie I need to get this immediately. On my list to get past my companies approval team immediately Monday morning

9:40 AM

Tim Attenborough I'd only run scripts in production with an approved change request 😉

9:41 AM

Andrew Sutherlin Does Xplore collect any data from the user or instance?

9:41 AM

Mohammad Ansari Thanks

9:41 AM

Chuck Tomasi I'm teaching the SN Scripting Course next week. I'll be giving XPlore some love.

9:41 AM

Mark Laucus I thought you always test in production😂

9:42 AM

Jeff Jessie Its the only way to know Production is ready... LOL

9:42 AM

Axel Starosta I'm sorry if I didn't catch it - so rollback is available for the changes made?

9:42 AM

Nick Simonelli Way to kick off the first session of the day buddy, great start!

9:42 AM

Axel Starosta sure thing

9:42 AM

Samuel Urom Thanks, James.

9:42 AM
