[javascript bug] doc.setAction(cTrigger, '') does not clear the action (build 404) SOLVED

[Mathew]

It seems to be impossible to properly clear the action. Neither doc.setAction(cTrigger, null) nor doc.setAction(cTrigger, '') seem to properly clear it, although Document Properties > Actions shows the trigger cleared, there will still be a javascript warning when that action happens.

To reproduce:
Make a new document.
Run the following two lines in console:

Code: Select all

this.setAction('WillClose',"app.alert('annoy')");
this.setAction('WillClose','');

Confusingly, the action will show as "<Empty>" under document properties > Actions.
Make sure that Preferences > Javascript is set to alert for document javascript. Then close the document.

Hello, Mathew

Thank you for the heads up, I have raised this with the Dev team for review!

Hello, Mathew

Here is the response from the dev team

This Editor's behavior is the same as Adobe's.
But in V11, the logic is changed, and now `setAction` with an empty string will remove the JS action instead of making an empty one.

Kind regards,
