issue with getroles() function in Custom instantiation screen

preetpal

TS version: 7.2.1
OS: Windows 2008

Purpose:
I am trying to control the visibility of a radio field in the workflow custom instantiation screen by getting the array of roles of the user. I loop through all the roles the user has on that branch and then if it matches a specific custom-role(that i have created), then it must show that radio field, else it must hide the radio field.
I am using the getroles() function of the form API for this in the custom instantiation config file.
I am calling getroles() function in the init function itself of the custom instantiation screen.


Issue:
when i put a couple of alert statements before using the getroles() function, the roles are retrieved from the server correctly. this i check by looping through the roles-array and then checking by putting alerts.
But when i remove the alert statements from before the getroles() function, the javascript stops working. none of the alerts either before or after the getroles() function show up.

Question:
Is there a known issue for use of getroles() in custom instantiation config?
or am i missing something?


Code snippet:
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

function init()
{
alert("in init");
handleTargetNodesChange(IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/TargetNodes"));
}

function handleTargetNodesChange(item)
{
var userRoles=IWDatacapture.getRoles();
var customItemFlag=IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/CustomRoleItemFlag");
alert("customItemFlag is "+customItemFlag);

for (var i = 0; i < userRoles.length; i++)
{
alert("UserRole at Index "+i+" is " + userRoles);
if (userRoles == "customRole")
{
customItemFlag.setVisible(true);
}
else {
customItemFlag.setVisible(false);
}
}
}

I found the issue, myself i was commenting the alerts incorrectly.
