Strange behaviour on link location. Bug?
![]()
Hi, I've find out a strange behaviour of ILinkServiceLibrary.findLinks method.
This is the scenario: I've developed a precondition plugin on save work item operation. This pre-condition fails if you are trying to reopen a work-item if it has a parent work-item in a defined workflow state. Everything seems to be ok if I do all things one at time, but if I try in the same "save" operation to change link (changing the parent work-item in an other one in the correct workflow state), when I run the findLinks method on a IReference instance obtained from a workitem which I've retrieve using ISaveParameter.getNewState() I got the old parent link instead of the new one. Am I missing something or is it a bug? |

![]() Hi, I've find out a strange behaviour of ILinkServiceLibrary.findLinks The LinkServiceLibrary queries the repository, but the new parent is not saved yet (you are in the precondition). That's why you still get the old parent. I would suggest you use this code: private IWorkItem getParentWorkItem(ISaveParameter param, IAuditableCommon auditableCommon) throws TeamRepositoryException { List<IReference> parentRefs= null; IWorkItemReferences refs= param.getNewReferences(); if (refs.hasReferences(WorkItemEndPoints.PARENT_WORK_ITEM)) { parentRefs= refs.getReferences(WorkItemEndPoints.PARENT_WORK_ITEM); } if (parentRefs != null && !parentRefs.isEmpty()) { IReference parent= parentRefs.get(0); if (parent.isItemReference()) { IItemHandle refItem= ((IItemReference)parent).getReferencedItem(); if (refItem instanceof IWorkItemHandle) { return (IWorkItem) auditableCommon.resolveAuditable((IWorkItemHandle) refItem, IWorkItem.DEFAULT_PROFILE, null); } } } return null; } -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |

Thank you for the answer, I was supposing that referring to the "newState" object I would had the entire new object. So I was wrong, as I can see from your snippet, informations related to links are still stored in ISaveParameter but in another location.
I'm going to try your code. Thanks. |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
