strange behavior with a script

[adavid]

I've got a script i'm using on a few pages that is supposed to match its title somewhere in the body of one of the sub pages and put each page title in a list that it exists on.

so far it is doing that however it will list some pages 2-3 times and im lost as to why, could the pages have an alias that i don't see?
This is version 10.1 running on Windows Server 2008

// page title has to be the hostname of the robot
var filterRobot = page.title;

// searches subpages of the app list 
var reportArea= wiki.getpage("Software_Documentation/Network_Services/Monitoring/Compuware_Vantage/Active_User_Monitoring/Active_Monitored_Applications_List");

// initializes subpages array
var reportPagePathList = [];

<ul>
// Iterate through every subpage of the reportArea page
foreach (var reportPage in reportArea.subpages) {
   if ( string.match(reportpage.text, filterRobot)){
   let reportPagePathList ..= [ reportPage.path ];
  }

// Go through each page in turn
foreach(var pagePath in reportPagePathList) {

 // Display a link to page
 <li> wiki.link(pagePath); </li>
 }
}
</ul>

That is indeed a very interesting problem.

Can you share the output of the following script:

web.pre([ p.path foreach var p in page.subpages  ]);

[adavid]

Ive done that and im only seeing the three pages that should be there

[ 
    "Software_Documentation/Network_Services/Monitoring/Compuware_Vantage/Active_User_Monitoring/Active_User_Monitoring_Applications_List/CPACS", 
    "Software_Documentation/Network_Services/Monitoring/Compuware_Vantage/Active_User_Monitoring/Active_User_Monitoring_Applications_List/Lawson", 
    "Software_Documentation/Network_Services/Monitoring/Compuware_Vantage/Active_User_Monitoring/Active_User_Monitoring_Applications_List/Synapse"
]

That seems really weird. I don't understand why your initial problem that would be happening. The above output is exactly what I would expect and it looks perfectly fine.

Can you still reproduce this issue?

[adavid]

yeah, its still happening. the number of times it lists a page seems to be consistent with the page itself but not as a whole, so i may see page1 listed 5 times where page 1 is listed once. is it possible that it is following some hidden references from where i may have moved or renamed pages?

I'd try generating the output inside the main loop and see what happens first. This does not yet try to explain *why* your problem is happening, but maybe it'll shed a little light. In other words:

// page title has to be the hostname of the robot
var filterRobot = page.title;

// searches subpages of the app list 
var reportArea= wiki.getpage("Software_Documentation/Network_Services/Monitoring/Compuware_Vantage/Active_User_Monitoring/Active_Monitored_Applications_List");

// initializes subpages array
var reportPagePathList = [];

<ul>
// Iterate through every subpage of the reportArea page
foreach (var reportPage in reportArea.subpages) {
   if ( string.match(reportPage.text, filterRobot)){
     <li> wiki.link(reportPage.path); </li>;
   }
  }
</ul>

That works fine, thanks for the help.
