12.1p meaningless log message / FAQ addition

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I'm developing a new feature and because of this bug I'm currently using v12.1p_2022-03-16 instead of 12.0p.
I saw a log message in the Developer Console that I could not explain (I thought it was mine, but I'm pretty sure it's not):

15:12:21.431:TMR0:WARN:Log:H is equal to H
15:12:21.433:TMR0:WARN:Log:H is equal to H

This happens when I filter in the ListGrid filterRow (Go to the search field of the column, press Enter with an unchanged search expression of "H", resulting in a FilterEditorSubmitEvent).
When I change it to "Z", this happens:

15:15:17.016:TMR2:WARN:Log:Z is less restrictive than H
15:15:17.017:TMR2:WARN:Log:Z is less restrictive than H
15:15:17.039:TMR2:WARN:Log:Z is equal to Z

I remembered this post of yours and entered this in the Developer Console's "Evaluate JS Expression" box:

Log.traceLogMessage(".*(restrictive|equal).*")

This is a pretty cool feature to debug and I think would be a great addition to the SmartClient FAQ / SmartGWT FAQ, as there are not many hits when searching the forum for "traceLogMessage". Anyway, this is what I get now as a trace when I switch from "H" to "Z":

15:21:10.892:TMR4:WARN:Log:traceLogMessage(): pattern '/.*(restrictive|equal).*/i' matched, stack trace:

    compareCriteria(_90=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _91=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _92=>Obj{ID:iContainsPattern}, _93=>[DataSource ID:V_LEAD_MANAGEMENT])
    DataSource.compareAdvancedCriteria(_1=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _2=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _3=>undef)
    anonymous(_90=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _91=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _92=>Obj{ID:and}, _93=>[DataSource ID:V_LEAD_MANAGEMENT])
    ** recursed on DataSource.compareAdvancedCriteria

15:21:10.892:TMR4:WARN:Log:Z is less restrictive than H
15:21:10.895:TMR4:WARN:Log:traceLogMessage(): pattern '/.*(restrictive|equal).*/i' matched, stack trace:

    ** recursed on DataSource.compareAdvancedCriteria

15:21:10.894:TMR4:WARN:Log:Z is less restrictive than H
15:21:10.911:TMR4:WARN:Log:traceLogMessage(): pattern '/.*(restrictive|equal).*/i' matched, stack trace:

    compareCriteria(_90=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _91=>Obj{_constructor:AdvancedCriteria}, _92=>Obj{ID:iContainsPattern}, _93=>[DataSource ID:V_LEAD_MANAGEMENT])

    ** recursed on DataSource.compareAdvancedCriteria

15:21:10.910:TMR4:WARN:Log:Z is equal to Z

Does this help you?

Best regards

Thanks for the report - this was a result of a test-flag that left logging active in an internal DS method, in this particular branch - we've fixed it for tomorrow's builds.

We're still looking at the issues with implicitCriteria, and improving the docs in that area - we'll update that thread when it's all fixed.
