build lightning component to accept cases

Hello All, 

I tried to build a lightning component to have a button that when clicked, the case is accepted to the user who cliced it, mainly a case that was assigned to a queue. 

here is the code i have so far but need your help in what is missing, when i try to save the controller, i get an error. can you please review and correct ? 
  
component 
==========

<aura:component implements="force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader">
  <aura:attribute name="record" type="Case" default="{ 'sobjectType': 'Case' }" />
  <aura:attribute name="complete" type="Boolean" default="false" />
  <force:recordData recordId="{!v.recordId}"
                    fields="['CaseNumber','OwnerId','OwnerFullName']"
                    targetFields="{!v.record}"
                    aura:id="recordData"
                    recordUpdated="{!c.recordLoaded}" />

</aura:component>
====


controller 
======= 

({ 
  recordLoaded: function(component, event, helper) {
    var caseRecord = component.get("v.record"),
      recordData = component.find("recordData");
    caseRecord.OwnerId = component.get("$SObjectType.CurrentUser.Id");
    if(!component.get("v.complete")) { // Avoid infinite loop
      component.set("v.complete", true);
      component.set("v.record", caseRecord);
      recordData.saveRecord($A.getCallback(function(result) {
        if(result.state === "SUCCESS" || result.state === "DRAFT") {
          $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction").fire();
          $A.get("e.force:refreshView").fire();
        } else { /* show an error here */ }
      }));
  }
})

Hi,

You can get more details when there is an error with the console.log by testing all the states. 
handleSaveRecord: function(component, event, helper) {
        component.find("recordHandler").saveRecord($A.getCallback(function(saveResult) {
            // NOTE: If you want a specific behavior(an action or UI behavior) when this action is successful 
            // then handle that in a callback (generic logic when record is changed should be handled in recordUpdated event handler)
            if (saveResult.state === "SUCCESS" || saveResult.state === "DRAFT") {
                // handle component related logic in event handler
            } else if (saveResult.state === "INCOMPLETE") {
                console.log("User is offline, device doesn't support drafts.");
            } else if (saveResult.state === "ERROR") {
                console.log('Problem saving record, error: ' + JSON.stringify(saveResult.error));
            } else {
                console.log('Unknown problem, state: ' + saveResult.state + ', error: ' + JSON.stringify(saveResult.error));
            }
        }));
    },

By giving the exact error:   console.log('Problem saving record, error: ' + JSON.stringify(saveResult.error)); that may help in understanding the problem.

You are just using result instead of saveResult (but that is not important).

The error i get is when i save the controller with the above code i provided for the controller. see screen shot for the error User-added image

If it is the complete code for the controller, a parenthesis is missing at the end.
  
({ 
    recordLoaded: function(component, event, helper) {
        var caseRecord = component.get("v.record"),
            recordData = component.find("recordData");
        caseRecord.OwnerId = component.get("$SObjectType.CurrentUser.Id");
        if(!component.get("v.complete")) { // Avoid infinite loop
            component.set("v.complete", true);
            component.set("v.record", caseRecord);
            recordData.saveRecord($A.getCallback(function(result) {
                if(result.state === "SUCCESS" || result.state === "DRAFT") {
                    $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction").fire();
                    $A.get("e.force:refreshView").fire();
                } else { /* show an error here */ }
            }));
        }
    }
})

The javascript parser for the controller is misleading and the error should say "missing parenthesis" simply but there is a long complicated popup instead (?).

thanks for getting back real quick. that is funny that i small thing like this cause that.  i saved the component but i am still not able to use it to take ownership of the case. what am i missing ? I am trying to use this as a button that when clicked it will change the owner to the user clicked the button.

That doesn't work like that since the version 43. 

Get the Current User’s ID: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.get_current_user
... but that is not Aura anymore but the replacing framework of Aura called Lightning Web Components
and it needs Salesforce DX: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.install_setup_develop

You can try; https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000E7lFQAS
Undocumented workaround: JS Controller: $A.get('$SObjectType.CurrentUser.Id');

A complete solution by reading the user with an Apex class:
http://sfdcmonkey.com/2018/01/08/display-current-user-information/
They also talked about the undocumented workaround but that doesn't work anymore since the version 43.

For a so basic need, the Apex controller could be the only remaining technique (outside the LWC and the complete rewriting of your code + DX).
