VMware Aria Automation offers a system class, which contains a set of basic functions to offer standard processing methods for the most fundamental requirements in the context of its JavaScript runtime environment. To use these methods outside of Aria Automation, a library is available here to emulate the system class. This gives us the possibility to code and test Actions a bit more independently, without the direct use of an Orchestration environment.

This mock-up of the system class, called Muscle, bases on the same JavaScript engine used in Aria Automation, the Mozilla Rhino engine. To use this system class it is also necessary to use the Rhino engine, because some of their methods access Java classes directly. This ensures us a consistent basis for simulation and operation.

To use this library in your code it is necessary to add  load("system.class.js");  at the beginning of the program. After that, all functions can be used seamlessly. Here a tiny example:
load("system.class.js");

System.log("Hello World");
System.debug("Hello World");
System.warn("Hello World");
System.error("Hello World");

System.log("UUID: " + System.nextUUID());
console window with output from system class methods

This emulation provides 66 methods, 15 of them delivers mock-up results and 10 are additional, which are not available in the standard. Here a list of the additional methods:

Name Description
alert Displays a dialog with an optional message and waits until the user dismisses the dialog.
base64ToString Decodes a base64 encoded string.
clone Clones an object.
getRhinoVersion Returns the implementation version of the Rhino engine.
isLinux Checks if operating system is Linux.
isMac Checks if operating system is Mac OS.
isWindows Checks if operating system is Windows.
setContext Sets the context.
stringToBase64 Encodes string to base64.
waitEnter Waits for keypress enter.
Furthermore exemplary is shown how mock-ups of other classes can be integrated and used.
