openSubtab() URL not firing properly

Question

I have a primary tab that has a subtab in it. I want to remove that subtab and open a new subtab. The new subtab is an account page. I am able to get into both openSubtab and closeTab methods. The closeTab() method is working but the openSubtab is not firing off the page open. I put an alert on it to make sure that it was firing at all and it is being called. I am not entirely sure what is happening. My thoughts are it is order of execution or my url param is not written correctly because it is in console. When I console.log my url param I get: /apex/001g000001jDRCiCAO. Does anyone have any ideas?

            if(sforce.console.isInConsole()){
            sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(null, conversationSessionPrefix, true, '{!HTMLENCODE($Label.livetext__txt_conversation)}'); 

            var closeSubtab = function closeSubtab(result) {
                var tabId = result.id;
                sforce.console.closeTab(tabId);
            };
            sforce.console.getEnclosingTabId(closeSubtab);

           var openSubtab = function openSubtab(result) {
                var tabId = result.id;
                sforce.console.openSubtab(tabId , '/apex/' + accountId, true);
            };
            sforce.console.getPrimaryTabIds(openSubtab);
       }

UPDATE: After combing through the console responses it is telling me that my ID for the subtab is invalid. I will report back when I figure out why it is invalid!

Answer 1

To view a record in Salesforce, it is simply "/recordId".

sforce.console.openSubtab(tabId , '/'+accountId, true);

Answer 2

My Id was being pass incorrectly. I was getting: invalid id: scc-pt-1 for openSubtab(). This post was super helpful.

I used getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(); rather then getEnclosingTabId() for the openSubtab function. It works but it isn't very UX friendly. There is a big delay between closing the tab and opening a new tab. I might try and figure out a workaround.

           var closeSubtab = function closeSubtab(result) { 
                var tabId = result.id;                  
                sforce.console.closeTab(tabId, gotintoclosetab());
            };
            sforce.console.getEnclosingTabId(closeSubtab);

           var openSubtab = function openSubtab(result) { 
                var tabId2 = result.id;
                console.log('tabid2' + tabId2);
                sforce.console.openSubtab(tabId2, '/' + accountId, true, '' , '', gotintoopentab());
            };
            sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtab);

You can try this approach, let me know if that works

Here sforce.console.refreshPrimaryTabById(primaryTabId, true, refreshSuccess);

function newContactOpenSubtab() {   
    //First find the ID of the primary tab to put the new subtab in
    sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtabCreateContact);
}

var openSubtabCreateContact = function openSubtabCreateContact(result) {
    //Now that we have the primary tab ID, we can open a new subtab in it
    var primaryTabId = result.id;

    sforce.console.refreshPrimaryTabById(primaryTabId, true, refreshSuccess);

    sforce.console.openSubtab(primaryTabId , '/' + contactId ,true, 
        'Create Contact', null, openSuccess, 'salesforceSubtab');
};

var openSuccess = function openSuccess(result) {
    //Report whether we succeeded in opening the subtab
    if (result.success == true) {       
    } else {        
    }
};
var refreshSuccess = function refreshSuccess(result) {
    //Report whether refreshing the primary tab was successful
    if (result.success == true) {       
    } else {        
    }
};
