FilterBuilder - _3 is null _3 is undefined error

[Isomorphic]

You should see a fix for this in tonights nightly build of 4.0.

Firstly, I used an existing non null DS. Secondly the problem is not connected with the FilterBuilder I was talking about simple Criterion usage, i get the null regardless using/not using filterbuilder.

The NPE happens in line

if (this.getAttributeAsObject("value") != null || this.getCriteria().length != 0) {

in the

 public void addCriteria(Criterion c)

method in Criterion.class

and it seems that if you add the first crit the

this.getCriteria().length

throws the exeption - although not sure, but exception indicates this lane

[Isomorphic]

That would be expected to fail (see above) although it fails with a very clean error message explaining exactly what's wrong (missing DataSource).

So, no apparent framework issue here, let us know if you can produce a test case that would be expected to work but does not.

[jarekevi]

It was run in my project in onModulLoad() without any other code.

[Isomorphic]

If it wasn't clear, this code must be run in a project where the "supplyItem" DataSource (which comes with the SDK) is present. For example, it can be dropped into onModuleLoad in the "builtinds" sample project.

[jarekevi]

Sorry for the rude answer, work overload. running your code in onModuleLoad resulted in the pop up shown on the image.

[Isomorphic]

Can you clarify what you're saying - you ran the code we provided (which does not NPE for us) and yet somehow received an NPE?

[jarekevi]

Sadly: NPE

[Isomorphic]

I'm not able to create an NPE with the description you've provided. Can you provide a more direct test case, or modify the attached code below and demonstrate how you are able ot see this issue.

final FilterBuilder filter = new FilterBuilder();
		filter.setDataSource(DataSource.get("supplyItem"));
		
		Button button = new Button();
		button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				Criterion criterion = new Criterion(OperatorId.OR);		
				Criterion userCrit = new Criterion("SKU", OperatorId.CONTAINS, "9");
//				criterion.addCriteria(new Criteria("SKU", "9"));
				criterion.addCriteria(userCrit);
				filter.addCriterion(criterion);
			}
		});

		VLayout layout = new VLayout();
		layout.addMember(filter);	
		layout.addMember(button);
		layout.draw();

Another null pointer problem

version: v9.0p_2013-12-11/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2013-12-11)

Adding criteria :

 Criterion criterion = new Criterion(OperatorId.OR);		
		for(Long userIDs  : params.getMessageFilter().getEmployeeIDs()){
			Criterion userCrit = new Criterion(MessageInterface._employeeIDs, OperatorId.CONTAINS, ","+userIDs+",");
			criterion.addCriteria(userCrit);
		}

causesnull pointer on addCriteria()

but when Criterion criterion operator changed to AND everything works fine

[jarekevi]

Thank you that was helpful

[Isomorphic]

The FilterBuilder class will not function without a specified DataSource. We will look at whether we can handle this more gracefully, but to resolve this you'll need to specify a DataSource before the FilterBuilder is actually created in JavaScript scope (in this case via the "addMember" call).

Environment
SmartGWT version 4.0p EE (trial)

BTW: Still waiting for any information about my Power version order nad Power version link on your side is not wotking

Browser: Firefox 25.0.1
System: Win 7, Win 8

Calling the getCriteria() or even adding FilterBuilder object to a layout causes an wierd exeption. But actually not all methods called on an object of this class causes this error. For Example addPrompt("") works fine.

"_3 is null" or "_3 is undefined"

I had a similar problem in 3.1p but was surprisingly able to fix it with a delay on member add. But now nothing is working.

Simple Example in onModuleLoad() :
