DatasetTestUtils.equals not working as expected

Ignition
,
1

Using Ignition 7.9.9. I would expect the following to print True, however it prints False.

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.util import DatasetBuilder, DatasetTestUtils
from java.lang import String,Double
from java.util import Date
emptyDS1 = DatasetBuilder.newBuilder().colNames("col1", "col2", "col3").colTypes(Double, String, Date).build()
emptyDS2 = DatasetBuilder.newBuilder().colNames("col1", "col2", "col3").colTypes(Double, String, Date).build()
print(DatasetTestUtils.equals(emptyDS1, emptyDS2))

Only if I compare the same dataset (DatasetTestUtils.equals(emptyDS1, emptyDS1)) does it return True. Any ideas?

Huh, unfortunate. Looks like a problem stemming from the fact the method is called equals, and some kind of Jython interop problem.

Thanks for checking it out. In the meantime, this works well enough for my purposes, hopefully it can help someone else too:

	def datasets_equals(newValue, oldValue):
		if (newValue.getRowCount() != oldValue.getRowCount()) or (newValue.getColumnCount() != oldValue.columnCount):
			return False
		else:
			for rowIndex in range(newValue.getRowCount()):
				for colIndex in range(newValue.getColumnCount()):
					if event.newValue.getValueAt(rowIndex, colIndex) != event.oldValue.getValueAt(rowIndex, colIndex):
						return False
		return True

(could check for column types and possibly other stuff too, but I know my particular data doesn’t require it)

You can use reflection to call the method:

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common import Dataset
method = DatasetTestUtils.getDeclaredMethod("equals", Dataset, Dataset)
method.invoke(DatasetTestUtils, emptyDS1, emptyDS2)

from org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect import MethodUtils
MethodUtils.invokeStaticMethod(DatasetTestUtils, "equals", emptyDS1, emptyDS2)
