Re: How to enable Javascript for Splunk App

thinhdinh · ‎07-29-2020

Hi Splunkers,

I am developing a custom app and I am using React to build an user interface for it. I have tested on my local and it works well. But when I copy all files to /opt/splunk/etc/apps/flowdock/default/data/ui/alerts this directory, I got error like below picture:

How can we solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi

There are quite many similar questions already e.g. below

The correct place to JS and CSS is

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appname>/appserver/static/

Hi @isoutamo Thank you for your answer. if inside html file we still have javascript code, do we need to move them as well? Cause I have been moved those files under appserver/static but it is still not working.

Hi

are you using simpleXML or pure html files (converted from simpleXML)?

I think that the solution could be more simple if all JS files are in one place and you then include those to the dashboards.

Hi,

I am not using simpleXML. I just coded the GUI using React and then I build the project to html and js files. If you looked at the warning, it comes from the noscript tag inside my HTML file. It seems we need to enable javascript somewhere under splunk app?! Bytheway I only have a basic form like this:

@isoutamo Sorry, I have to disable your question as a solution. Because I just realised we were missing understanding about my issue. Actually I want to run javascript inside the HTML file from this directory:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/app_name/default/data/ui/alerts

Basically this file is the form, where we get inputs from users, when they are creating alerts. For the dashboards, sure we are able to run js and I am building a custom dashboard using React and it works.

Here's the content of my HTML file:
