Groovy throws MissingPropertyException when calling getter method - groovy

Question

I'm writing a small Groovy script for Hybris.
For reasons unknown when I attempt to call .getCronExpression() Groovy tries to get a property named getCron.
Script execution has failed [reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: getCron for class: de.hybris.platform.cronjob.model.TriggerModel]
The getter which I try to call exists on the class.
def methods = TriggerModel.declaredMethods.findAll { !it.synthetic }.name
println methods;
//[getDaysOfWeek, getWeekInterval, setDaysOfWeek, setWeekInterval, getRelative, getJob, setActivationTime, setMaxAcceptableDelay, getTimeTable, setActive, setJob, getCronJob, getActivationTime, setDateRange, getDateRange, getMaxAcceptableDelay, getCronExpression, setCronExpression, setCronJob, getActive, setRelative, setDay, setHour, setMinute, setSecond, getHour, getMinute, getSecond, getYear, getMonth, setYear, setMonth, getDay]
Code part:
def currentDate = new Date();
def query = new FlexibleSearchQuery("SELECT {pk} FROM {cronjob} WHERE {active} IS true");
def result = flexibleSearchService.search(query).getResult();
for (cj in result) {
def activeTriggers = cj.getTriggers().stream().filter{p -> p.getActive()}.collect();
if (activeTriggers){
def at = activeTriggers.get(0);
def activationTS = at.getActivationTime(); // works
if (activationTS.before(currentDate)){
println cj.code + " has invalid next activation date set: " + activationTS;
}
def x = at.getCronExpression(); // error
}
Update: the project uses hybris 5.7

Answer 1

Replacing the getter with the variable name fixed the issue.
Replace-
def x = at.getCronExpression(); // error
with
def xam = at.cronExpression; // working
Complete working groovy-
import de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.search.FlexibleSearchQuery;
def currentDate = new Date();
def query = new FlexibleSearchQuery("SELECT {pk} FROM {cronjob} WHERE {active}='1'");
def result = flexibleSearchService.search(query).getResult();
for (cj in result) {
def activeTriggers = cj.getTriggers().stream().filter{p -> p.getActive()}.collect();
if (activeTriggers){
def at = activeTriggers.get(0);
def activationTS = at.getActivationTime(); // works
if (activationTS.before(currentDate)){
println cj.code + " has invalid next activation date set: " + activationTS;
}
def xam = at.cronExpression; // working
}
}

Can you share your groovy part where you are loading activeTriggers?
I created a sample groovy to load Triggers and print CronExpression for 1st object and it worked like a charm.
import de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.search.FlexibleSearchQuery;
flexibleQuery = new FlexibleSearchQuery("select {pk} from {Trigger}");
flexibleSearchService = spring.getBean("flexibleSearchService")
activeTriggers = flexibleSearchService.search(flexibleQuery).getResult();
def at = activeTriggers.get(0);
def x = at.getCronExpression();
OUTPUT
0 0 0/4 * * ? *
AFTER PO EDITED THE QUESTION I still don't see getCronExpression error, I believe you were calling the function on a different object then TriggerModel. Though there were some syntax errors in your groovy, a working version of the copy is as below. (Tested on 1905 version)
import de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.search.FlexibleSearchQuery;
def currentDate = new Date();
def query = new FlexibleSearchQuery("SELECT {pk} FROM {cronjob} WHERE {active} = true");
def result = flexibleSearchService.search(query).getResult();
for (cj in result) {
def activeTriggers = cj.getTriggers().stream().filter{p -> p.getActive()}.collect();
if (activeTriggers){
def at = activeTriggers.get(0);
def activationTS = at.getActivationTime(); // works
if (activationTS!=null && activationTS.before(currentDate)){
println cj.code + " has invalid next activation date set: " + activationTS;
}
def x = at.getCronExpression(); // error
println x;
}
}
