Hello,
I’m currently in the process of migrating some of our own modules from 7.9 to 8.0 and testing for any changes. Per the javadoc, updateValue under com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.managed.ManagedTagProvider is supposed to create tags when they don’t exist, but I found that they do not. Was this an intentional change that didn’t update with the javadoc?
In order to create the tags, I had to call configureTag (from the same interface), sleep the thread for a moment, and then call updateValue to properly initialize everything.
The internal implementation of updateValue makes the same assertion that it should create the tags, so it looks like it might be a problem on our side. I’ll do some more digging to see what’s going on.
With some testing through the gateway system tags, I was able to create a tag using only updateValue - although it’s not quite the same as going through a custom module. Do you have your code available anywhere?
Hi @PGriffith , thanks for getting back to me. The following is a snippet of code of what we have in Ign8 that doesn’t create the tag. The code is fairly similar in Ign7, with the exception of the tag quality argument. If I were to call configureTag before updateValue, the tag is then created. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.
public static void init():{
successfulSends = 0;
static final String SUCCESSFUL_SENDS = “WebSF/SuccessfulSends”;
systemTags.updateValue(SUCCESSFUL_SENDS, successfulSends, QualityCode.Good);
}
Hello, has there been any further updates on this?
I haven’t been able to reproduce the behavior you’re seeing. Would it be possible to send me your full module code, via PM or email or equivalent?
