I have a list of strings I get as a result of splitting a string. I need to remove the surrounding quotes from the strings in the list. Using method chaining how can I achieve this? I tried the below, but doesn't work.Says type interference failed.
val splitCountries: List<String> = countries.split(",").forEach{it -> it.removeSurrounding("\"")}
forEach doesn't return the value you generate in it, it's really just a replacement for a for loop that performs the given action. What you need here is map:
val splitCountries: List<String> = countries.split(",").map { it.removeSurrounding("\"") }
Also, a single parameter in a lambda is implicitly named it, you only have to name it explicitly if you wish to change that.

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
This appears to be pretty basic but I am unable to find a suitable pipeline expression function to achieve this.
I have set an array variable VAR1 with the following value, which is an output from a SQL Lookup activity in an ADF pipeline:
[
{
"Code1": "1312312"
},
{
"Code1": "3524355"
}
]
Now, I need to convert this into a comma separated string so I can pass it to a SQL query in the next activity - something like:
"'1312312','3524355'"
I am unable to find an expression function to iterate over the array elements, nor convert an array to a string. The only pipeline expression functions I see are to convert string to array and not the other way around.
Am I missing something basic? How can this be achieved?
Use 'join' function present in 'collection' functions in 'Add dynamic content'. For example:
join(variables('ARRAY_VARIABLE'), ',')
I had this same issue and was not totally satisfied just using the join function because it keeps the keys from the json object. Also, using an iterator approach can work but is needlessly expensive and slow if you have a long list. Here was my approach, using join and replace:
replace(replace(join(variables('VAR1'), ','), '{"Code1":', ''), '}', ''))
This will give you exactly the output you are looking for.
I got it working using a ForEach loop activity to iterate over my array and use a Set Variable task with a concat expression function to create my comma separated string.
Wish they had an iterator function in the expression language itself, that would have made it much easier.
In case, you just have two elements in the array, then you can do something like:
#concat(variables('variable_name')[0].Code1, ',', variables('variable_name')[1].Code1)
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.
I use YamlDotnet to parse a yaml stream to a dictionary of string object via the YamlStream.
The YamlMappingType, YamlSequenceNode and YamlScalarNode are used in order to convert the value to a dictionary, a list or a string.
But I need to get a real boolean value instead of the string equivalent, and for that I use
bool.TryParse(value.ToString(), out valueBool)
value veing a YamlNode.
Is there a better way to do that?
Perhaps another child type of YamlNode?
EDIT:
I don't know the content of the YAML file, I just want to get a dictionary with his values.
Instead of doing the parsing manually, you should use the Deserializer class, which will convert a YAML document into an object graph.
var deserializer = new Deserializer();
var parsed = deserializer.Deserialize<...>(input);
You can see a working example here
I'm fairly new to groovy, looking at some existing code, and I see this:
def timestamp = event.timestamp[]
I don't understand what the empty square brackets are doing on this line. Note that the timestamp being def'd here should receive a long value.
In this code, event is defined somewhere else in our huge code base, so I'm not sure what it is. I thought it was a map, but when I wrote some separate test code using this notation on a map, the square brackets result in an empty value being assigned to timestamp. In the code above, however, the brackets are necessary to get correct (non-null) values.
Some quick Googling didn't help much (hard to search on "[]").
EDIT: Turns out event and event.timestamp are both zero.core.groovysupport.GCAccessor objects, and as the answer below says, the [] must be calling getAt() on these objects and returning a value (in this case, a long).
The square brackets will invoke the underlying getAt(Object) method of that object, so that line is probably invoking that one.
I made a small script:
class A {
def getAt(p) {
println "getAt: $p"
p
}
}
def a = new A()
b = a[]
println b.getClass()
And it returned the value passed as a parameter. In this case, an ArrayList. Maybe that timestamp object has some metaprogramming on it. What does def timestamp contains after running the code?
Also check your groovy version.
Empty list, found this. Somewhat related/possibly helpful question here.
Not at a computer, but that looks like it's calling the method event.timestamp and passing an empty list as a parameter.
The same as:
def timestamp = event.timestamp( [] )
