Arrays For Commands

[lorenzo-gomez-windhover]

Hi there,

Hope you are all doing well.

Are there any plans for adding support for ArrayArgumentType?

Thanks
Lorenzo

As of v5.7.7, single-dimensional array arguments are supported.

• XTCE StartingIndex has to be 0.
• XTCE EndingIndex can be specified using either FixedValue or DynamicValue (argument or parameter)

Keeping open because multi-dimensional array arguments will not yet work.

@fqqb any updates on multi-dimensional array supports ?

Since this issue, the UI should work for multi-dimensional array arguments (or it did at some point).
But the backend is for @xpromache to have a look at. From what I remember, there's a pending issue relating to determining the correct dimension lengths.

In practice, we don't really see this kind of arguments in our projects, so it's never been prioritized.

I was wondering because ArrayArgumentType taking another ArrayArgumentType as an arrayTypeRef doesn't seems to be supported by the Commanding manager (cannot extract the data I put for the inner array element) with the following error message :
RouteHandler 16: Responding '400 Bad Request': Cannot assign value to packetStoreSequence: bad size for array of type TC-XX-X-TCNAME__packetStoreSequence__packetStores__el; expected size : 1, actual size: 0
Have you noticed that ?

No, as Fabian said we haven't been using array arguments much.

If you want to speed up the resolution, please create a concrete test case including an MDB definition which can easily reproduce the problem.
