Problem with getArgDocString

[alain.pfeiffer]

Hello everyone,

I got a code from Travis Cox where he showed me how I can add an Expression function. The name of the example class is "ConvertBase". I used that as a template and coded the functions I was asked to implement. However, for whatever reason, The getArgDocString can be seen in inductive automation with Travis' example but not with the functions I implemented. Does anyone know why?

public class ConvertBase implements Function:

@Override
public QualifiedValue execute(Expression[] expressions) throws ExpressionException {
    QualifiedValue from = expressions[0].execute();
    QualifiedValue to = expressions[1].execute();
    QualifiedValue numberToConvert = expressions[2].execute();

    Quality quality = DataQuality.worstOf(from.getQuality(), to.getQuality());
    quality = DataQuality.worstOf(quality, numberToConvert.getQuality());

    Integer inputInt = Integer.valueOf(numberToConvert.getValue().toString(), (Integer) from.getValue());
    String output = Integer.toString(inputInt, (Integer) to.getValue());

    return new BasicQualifiedValue(output, quality);
}

@Override
public void initArgs(Expression[] args) {
    if (!validateNumArgs(args.length)) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Function '" + "ConvertBase" + "(" + getArgDocString()
                + ")' does not work with " + args.length + " arguments.");
    } else {
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
            if (!validateArgType(i, args[i].getType())) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Type mismatch: Argument " + i + " for function '" + "ConvertBase"
                        + "(" + getArgDocString() + ")' is an invalid type.");
            }
        }
    }
}

protected boolean validateNumArgs(int num) {
    return num == 3;
}

protected boolean validateArgType(int argNum, Class<?> type) {
    boolean ret = false;

    switch (argNum) {
        case 0:
            ret = type == Integer.class;
            break;
        case 1:
            ret = type == Integer.class;
            break;
        case 2:
            ret = type == String.class;
            break;
    }

    return ret;
}

@Override
public String getArgDocString() {
    return "from, to, numberToConvert";
}

}

public class TagValue implements Function :

@Override
public QualifiedValue execute(Expression args) throws ExpressionException {
//Initialization phase
String database = args[0].execute().getValue().toString();
String tagName = args[1].execute().getValue().toString();
if(args.length == 3){
this.defaultErrorValue = Double.parseDouble(args[2].execute().getValue().toString());
}

  PWPreparedStatement preparedStatement = new PWPreparedStatement(server, database, tagName);
  return new BasicQualifiedValue(preparedStatement.getResult(defaultErrorValue));

}

@Override
public String getArgDocString() {
return "db, tagname, defaultError(optional)";
}

protected boolean validateNumArgs(int num) {
if (num == 2 || num == 3){
return true;
}
return false;
}

protected boolean validateArgType(int argNum, Class<?> type) {
    boolean ret = false;
    
    switch (argNum) {
        case 0:
            ret = type == String.class;
            break;
        case 1:
            ret = type == String.class;
            break;
        case 2:
            ret = type == Double.class;
            break;
    }

    return ret;
}

@Override
public void initArgs(Expression args) {
if (!validateNumArgs(args.length)) {
throw new RuntimeException("Function '" + "TagValue" + "(" + getArgDocString()
+ ")' does not work with " + args.length + " arguments.");
} else {
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
if (!validateArgType(i, args[i].getType())) {
throw new RuntimeException("Type mismatch: Argument " + i + " for function '" + "TagValue"
+ "(" + getArgDocString() + ")' is an invalid type.");
}
}
}
}
}

Here the picture.

Thank you
