Expression exception after upgrading to 8.1.3

The following Expression in a vision component worked fine in v7.9.7 but after upgrading to v8.1.3 it is raising exception “MissingFormatArgumentException: Format specifier '%s”

if(secondsBetween({CoLOS_PrinterRow.PrinterUDT::Status.LastStatusTimestamp}, now(1000)) > {CoLOS_PrinterRow.badQualitySeconds},
forceQuality({CoLOS_PrinterRow.PrinterUDT::Current Label}, 512),
{CoLOS_PrinterRow.PrinterUDT::Current Label})

Can you post the full stack trace / error you are seeing?

Hmm, well this is just a stupid bug in the secondsBetween expression function that is being triggered trying to log when the first argument is supposed to be a Date but you actually pass in null/None.

So a workaround would be to check for the condition prior to the secondsBetween in this case.

Yes I think for now that’s what you’ll have to do.
