[3.19d] BUG: #delitem db.%key syntax not working.
|
In the following script, #delitem {testvar.%key} isn't evaluating the value of %key but treating it as as literal. The solution to this would be to use %concat, but I would think this way should work as well.
Code:
| Code: |
testvar = %null
#addkey testvar list {one|two|three|four|five|six}
#print ""
#print {Printing testvar:}
#showdb @testvar
#print {Deleting all items in each list}
#loopdb @testvar {
#forall %val {
#delitem {testvar.%key} %i
}
}
#print {Printing testvar:}
#showdb @testvar |
Output:
| Quote: |
Printing testvar:
list: one|two|three|four|five|six
Deleting all items in each list
Printing testvar:
list: one|two|three|four|five|six
%key: |

Confirmed. Although I'm a bit surprised that this worked in past versions of CMUD.

Well, looks like this *didn't* work in past versions of CMUD either. But I think I've got it fixed for the next update. Try to mention in the future if this is something that worked and suddenly broke vs something that "should work" but never has.

IIRC, in previous versions I was using #var {db.%key} %delitem( %i, @db.%key). This would be the simplified form of that; Hence, why I assumed it was a bug. Sorry for the confusion.

Yep, that would make sense. The #var command in older versions was specially kludged to handle the db.%key syntax. None of the other commands (like #delitem) could handle that syntax directly.
This is now fixed for the next update. |

Related to this, I think this just broke recently.. Using 3.21
#delitem and #additem for:
#delitem %1.keys nesteditem
if %1 is the database variable name and keys is a record name, it is supposed to delete the nesteditem from the keys record
this no longer works... have to use concat on %1.... |

Not really the same issue, but I'll add it to the bug list.
