Javascriptlet - Arrays not working

[francwalter]

Hello

I want to create some anagram-function in Tasker, I found this code on SE, but it wont run.
So I broke it down to very basic commands with an array, which do not work.

Here is my description of an example task, where I would expect the var jstestfuncreturn to be filled somehow:

Task: TestJavaScriptletArray
   
    A1: JavaScriptlet [
         Code: function testfunc() {
           var letter = ["A","B"];
           return letter;
         }
         var jstestfuncreturn = testfunc();
         Auto Exit: On
         Timeout (Seconds): 45 ]
   
    A2: Flash [
         Text: jstestfuncreturn: %jstestfuncreturn
         jstestfuncreturn(): %jstestfuncreturn()
         jstestfuncreturn(1): %jstestfuncreturn(1)
         jstestfuncreturn(#): %jstestfuncreturn(#)
         Tasker Layout: On
         Timeout: 15000
         Continue Task Immediately: On
         Dismiss On Click: On ]

If I run the task, I get only:

jstestfuncreturn: %jstestfuncreturn
jstestfuncreturn():
jstestfuncreturn(1): %jstestfuncreturn1
jstestfuncreturn(#): 0

For %jstestfuncreturn() I would at least expect: A, B

For %jstestfuncreturn(#) I would expect: 2

For %jstestfuncreturn(1) I would expect: A

Is Tasker not able to handle JS-arrays as I can read in the doc?

Could somebody give me a hint, what is wrong?

Thank, frank

I get it! A variable is not passed through from JS to Tasker, if it is declared in a function only.
Must be declared outside, so Tasker can parse the code and initialize it.

Now it works :)

Thank!
