The update from 6.0a2 to 6.0a3 was quite slow. Actually, I was able to update on the second try - (on the first attempt the update process got "stuck" and even after waiting for over 20 minutest there was no progress). I am not sure if this is an isolated case or something more generic.

As a side note, the post for the "Servoy 6.0 alpha 3" release appears under the "Topics" section and not under "Announcements" (like 6.0 alpha 2, etc.) - shouldn't it be moved up the list to appear in chronological order next to the 6.0a2 release announcement?

Can the Servoy 6.0 wiki page include a reference for all supported JSDoc tags and syntax along with sample usage for them? Trying to handle all the numerous warnings which show-up will be simplified if we get the correct JSDoc tags in place on the first pass.

One case we I found that the new code inspection does not handle correctly is throw statements. For example:

Code: Select all
/**
* @return {String} some result info
* @throws {String} some error info
* @properties={typeid:24,uuid:"298cb5fb-e96b-49eb-acdd-92c63a14e7e3"}
*/
function someFunction()
{
   ...
   if(condition_1)
   {
      return result_1;
   }
   ...
   if(condition_2)
   {
      return result_2;
   }

   throw 'Some error message';
}


The function above will get a warning stating that: "Function X does not always return result"

Since the update from alpha 2 to alpha 3, I get warnings on:

Code: Select all
* @param   {Integer}   year

Is this because Integer is not a valid type and this is now being showed, or is this an issue?

Second, since the update from alpha 2 to alpha 3, I get the following warning:

Function myFunction declares JSField as type but returns JSField


Code: Select all
/**
* @properties={typeid:24,uuid:"c5617a2b-3497-4ce4-ad53-da4705cdedea"}
*
* @name   myFunction
*
* @description   This method will copy a JSField from a source into a destination
*
* @param   {JSField}   _srcField   Sourcefield
* @param   {JSField}   _destField   Destinationfield
*
* @returns   {JSField}
*/


Doesn't this message look strange?

In Servoy 5.2.6 we could use form variables of type TEXT to assign values from Foundset columns of type UUID (TEXT columns with the UUID flag checked) using COMBOBOX or TYPE_AHEAD fields

In Servoy 6.0 alpha 3 this breaks - the value assigned to the form variable is not a valid UUID string but some garbage

Consider the scenario:
- a form contains a variable of type TEXT
- a COMBOBOX field, associated with the form variable is placed on the form
- the COMBOBOX uses a valuelist where the key column is an UUID and the display column is TEXT
- When the user selects an item in the COMBOBOX, a search operation is performed using the underlying UUID value

Debugging the code reveals that when the user selects an item in the COMBOBOX, the value assigned to the form variable is not a valid UUID value but some garbage and the following search operation fails with the error: "com.servoy.j2db.dataprocessing.DataException: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier"

The same code works fine in 5.2.6. This is a huge issue for us since our primary keys are UUIDs

martin:

your @param {Integer} should be @param {Number}

js doesn't know Integer only numbers..

your second issue will be fixed in alpha 4

One more thing related to the JSDoc:

If we need to pass to a function an argument which represents one of the Servoy constants (for example: JSColumn.TEXT or JSColumn.DATE), the parameter type needs to be specified as {Number}, however function usages result in a warning that {Number} and {JSColumn.INTEGER} are not compatible:

Code: Select all
/**
*
*
* @param {Object} value  - the value to format
* @param {Number} columnType - the type of the data column specified by one of the JSColumn constants (for example: JSColumn.DATE)
*
* @return {String} the formatted value string
*
* @properties={typeid:24,uuid:"DA318F5D-BC00-49DD-B9D3-441BF5F49879"}
*/
function formatValue(value, columnType)
{
   ...
}


function doSomething()
{
     //this gets a warning stating that Number and JSColumn.INTEGER are not compatible
     var _fomattedValue = fomatValue(foundset.some_column, JSColumn.DATE);
     ...
}

Rossen,

var _fomattedValue = fomatValue(foundset.some_column, JSColumn.DATE);

i didn't get a warning anymore when i just tested it, but i also improved it a little bit more (constants like JSColumn.XXX where not typed correctly) for the next build

rossen,

about your UUID problem, i can't reproduce this
first i tried this:

Code: Select all
var x = "";

function doSomething()
{
   companyname = application.getUUID();
   x = companyname;
   
   application.output(companyname);
   application.output(x);
}


that updates a record and sets a uuid on a column, i also copied the column to a form variable and then output both (and they are all the same)

then i used that data to create a value list (that returns the uuid) and use a combo on that same field x that has that valuelist
after i select a value in the combo from that valuelist i also print x again
and x is still exactly that value above.

this is the output:

99529435-A5DB-459A-A342-B5DFA92FC4F5
99529435-A5DB-459A-A342-B5DFA92FC4F5
5735A05E-F68D-4017-966B-6C2D4A632999
5735A05E-F68D-4017-966B-6C2D4A632999
19D757C0-D793-4FEF-8768-C586A7301C67
19D757C0-D793-4FEF-8768-C586A7301C67
9AB380B7-B4BA-4BC7-BD10-D018CF2CDAD2
9AB380B7-B4BA-4BC7-BD10-D018CF2CDAD2

thats creating of 4 records

then i assign nr 2 to the x and print the x:

5735A05E-F68D-4017-966B-6C2D4A632999

can you create a case with an example?

One feature request for Servoy 6 - currently there is a rolloverCursor and rolloverImageMedia properties for buttons and labels. Can we have a rolloverStyleClass as well?
