Error Invoking Calculated Value Script
![]()
I'm attempting to develop a Calculated-Value Script for RTC 3.0.1.2 that will update an attribute based on a particular state change.
I have already run into the issue where workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE) always seems to return null. However, (for better or worse) I've found a workaround using I've come across a few posts in the forum where people have identified the issue of WorkItemAttributes.STATE being null. However, I didn't see any agreement on what the underlying issue was. Additionally, the script fails to run at all on save (as well as if I set Status as a dependency for the attribute). After further investigation, I found this error in the ccm log: com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: Unexpected exception type at com.ibm.team.workitem.shared.common.internal.valueProviders.ScriptAttributeValueProvider.handleException(ScriptAttributeValueProvider.java:229) at

enabled on the server, WorkItemAttributes being defined as com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes) and have not been able to resolve the issue. I have even been able to set an arbitrary dependency (ex: the planned for field), made a change to that field, and seen the script execute successfully. I'm somewhat at a loss as to the issue here. I'm not sure if its a limitation/defect in this version of RTC or if it may be an issue with my code. I can post the script; However, it is fairly simple, and as I stated earlier, it will execute under different circumstances. Any thoughts? |

Hi,
have you tried to add the state attribute as dependency to the attribute that has the value provider? I got the "null" when I didn't. I am not aware that there is a way to get the old state value (to determine that there is a state change). You would have to calculate the value every time. If you happen to run into how the old state can be accessed, please publish it here. |
![]() Hi, Yes, I've tried adding the 'Status' attribute as a dependency to the value provider and still get the Null value. In my prodding around behind the scenes a bit, I had noticed that the _proxy.object.attributes.* seemed to represent the current values of attributes, and the _proxy.storedObject.attributes.* seemed to represent the current saved values of the work item attributes. It was there that I was hoping to identify the old state. This theory does seem to hold true for some/most attributes. However, upon further observation, it does not hold true for the internalState attribute. The further I dig into this, the more I get the impression that the scripting framework simply isn't well enough developed (as of 3.0.1.2) to get the functionality that I was hoping for... |
