Groovy ArrayList contains method - groovy

I'm facing an issue with my groovy script which I cannot figure out why it is happening.
Basically I'm trying to check if my ArrayList:
list = [image-ab, image-cd]
contains the following string
string = 'cd'
If I use the 1st condition, it returns "true":
if (list[1].contains(string))
If I use the 2nd condition, it returns "false":
if (list.contains(string))
Why is this happening and how must I adapt 2nd condition to work?

In the first case, you access the second element of the list list[1], and you call String.contains(str) method on the returned string. It returns true because indeed image-cd contains cd. If you do the same with list[0], you would get false because the string image-ab does not contain cd.
In the second case, you call contains() method on a list, not an element of the list. This method returns true if the list contains the exact cd string. And you see false because there is no cd element in the list.
What you may want to do is to use list.any() method that allows you to check if any element of the list matches given predicate. For instance,
list.any { el -> el.contains("cd") }
will return true if at least one element from that list contains cd.
The alternative for any method is every, which expects that every element of the list matches given predicate. For instance,
list.every { el -> el.contains("cd") }
would return false in your case, because image-ab does not contain cd in the string.

Why a string that has some value is returning true when checking if it contains ""?

A scenario where the variable tempMID of type string containing value "338715618884", checks if it contains "" or not. It is returning true. Why is this happening? in my understanding, this shouldn't return true.
That's documented:
String.Contains returns true if the value parameter occurs within
this string, or if value is the empty string (""); otherwise, false.
So it's working as expected. The language designer have decided that an empty string is contained in every existing string, which makes sense to me.

Azure Logic App condition - Property contains in object within an array

value is an array with objects that have a property called skuPartNumber (string). How do I make a condition that is true when there are any objects where the skuPartNumber is equal to "X" in the array.
For your requirement, you can use contains function to implement it easily. As your screenshot shows, but need to make some changes.
First, you need to know the expression of value. It seems the value comes from "Parse JSON" in your logic app. So the expression of value should be like body('Parse_JSON')?['value']. Then use a string() function to convert it to string, then judge if it contains "skuPartNumber":"x".
The expression is string(body('Parse_JSON')?['value']).
I think the solution above is easy enough, but if you don't want to think of it as a string to judge if it contains "skuPartNumber":"x". You can also loop the value array, get each item and judge if the field skuPartNumber equals to x. Do it like below screenshot:
After the "For each" loop, use a "If" condition to judge if the variable result equals true or false.

groovy iterate through list of key and value

I have this list:
service_name_status=[a-service=INSTALL, b-service=UPGRADE, C-service=UPGRADE, D-service=INSTALL]
And I need to iterate through this list so the first element will be the value of a parameter called "SERVICE_NAME" and the second element will be the value of a parameter called "HELM_COMMAND",
after asserting those values to the parameters I will run my command that uses those parameters and then continue the next items on the list which should replace the values of the parameters with items 3 and 4 and so on.
So what I am looking for is something like that:
def service_name_status=[a-service=INSTALL, b-service=UPGRADE, C-service=UPGRADE, D-service=INSTALL]
def SERVICE_NAME
def HELM_COMMAND
for(x in service_name_status){
SERVICE_NAME=x(0,2,4,6,8...)
HELM_COMMAND=x(1,3,5,7,9...)
println SERVICE_NAME=$SERVICE_NAME
println HELM_COMMAND=$HELM_COMMAND
}
the output should be:
SERVICE_NAME=a-service
HELM_COMMAND=INSTALL
SERVICE_NAME=b-service
HELM_COMMAND=UPGRADE
SERVICE_NAME=c-service
HELM_COMMAND=UPGRADE
SERVICE_NAME=d-service
HELM_COMMAND=INSTALL
and so on...
I couldn't find anything that takes any other element in groovy, any help will be appreciated.
The collection you want is a Map, not a List.
Take note of the quotes in the map, the values are strings so you need the quotes or it won't work. You may have to change that at the source where your data comes from.
I kept your all caps variable names so you will feel at home, but they are not the convention.
Note the list iteration with .each(key, value)
This will work:
Map service_name_status = ['a-service':'INSTALL', 'b-service':'UPGRADE', 'C-service':'UPGRADE', 'D-service':'INSTALL']
service_name_status.each {SERVICE_NAME, HELM_COMMAND ->
println "SERVICE_NAME=${SERVICE_NAME}"
println "HELM_COMMAND=${HELM_COMMAND}"
}
EDIT:
The following can be used to convert that to a map. Be careful, the replaceAll part is fragile and depends on the data to always look the same.
//assuming you can have it in a string like this
String st = "[a-service=INSTALL, b-service=UPGRADE, C-service=UPGRADE, D-service=INSTALL]"
//this part is dependent on format
String mpStr = st.replaceAll(/\[/, "['")
.replaceAll(/=/, "':'")
.replaceAll(/]/, "']")
.replaceAll(/, /, "', '")
println mpStr
//convert the properly formatted string to a map
Map mp = evaluate(mpStr)
assert mp instanceof java.util.LinkedHashMap

Findall with array of string groovy

I have a string /sample/data. When I split using split I get the following result,
["","sample","data"]
I want to ignore the empty string(s). So I tried the following code,
"/sample/data".split('/').findAll(it != "")
It gives me an error "cannot call String[] findAll with argument bool".
How can I split and get a List without empty string in it?
split method returns array.
If you need List, use tokenize
"/sample/data".tokenize('/')
also you don't need to use findAll in this case.
You can do as below:
println "/sample/data".split('/').findAll {it}
findAll {it} would fetch all the non empty values.
Parens would work (see comments on question). So your solution is already close:
"/a/b".split("/").findAll()
Because most of the Groovy functions have a zero arity, which will call the function with an identity closure. And since an empty string is considered falsey, this will filter them out.

groovy - findAll getting only one value

I'm struggling to find examples of findAll with groovy. I've got a very
simple code snippet that gets the property of a node and outputs it's
value. Except I'm only getting the last value when I'm looping through
a series of properties. Is there something I'm doing wrong here, this
seems really simple.
JcrUtils.getChildNodes("footer").findAll{
selectFooterLabel = it.hasProperty("footerLabel") ? it.getProperty("footerLabel").getString() : ""
}
In my jsp I'm just printing the property:
<%=selectFooterLabel%>
Thanks for the help!
findAll returns a List containing all the items in the original list for which the closure returns a Groovy-true value (boolean true, non-empty string/map/collection, non-null anything else). It looks like you probably wanted collect
def footerLabels = JcrUtils.getChildNodes("footer").collect{
it.hasProperty("footerLabel") ? it.getProperty("footerLabel").getString() : ""
}
which will give you a List of the values returned by the closure. If you then want only the subset of those that are not empty you can use findAll() with no closure parameter, which gives you the subset of values from the list that are themselves Groovy-true
def footerLabels = JcrUtils.getChildNodes("footer").collect{
it.hasProperty("footerLabel") ? it.getProperty("footerLabel").getString() : ""
}.findAll()
