  • 1.  Groups throwing error in team filter?

    Posted 01/10/22 12:21 AM
    We have a team filter service that was working until we added custom groups to the team. 

    Now it throws this error: CWTBG0019E: Unexpected exception during execution. Internal Script error: com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksRuntimeException: com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: Type mismatch. Expected "tw.object.String" type, but found "com.lombardisoftware.core.script.js.objects.UserScriptable" java class. Value: "com.lombardisoftware.core.script.js.objects.UserScriptable@3ec2daae" ".'.

    The code is standard team filtering from the BAW exercise book pg. 368:

    

    //copy the original team and then recreate the team members
    tw    .local.filteredTeam = new tw.object.Team();
    

    tw.local.filteredTeam.name = tw.local.originalTeam.name;
    

    tw.local.filteredTeam.managerTeam = tw.local.originalTeam.managerTeam; 

    

    tw.local.filteredTeam.members = new tw.object.listOf.String(); //iterate through original list
    

    for (var i = 0; i < tw.local.originalTeam.members.listLength; i++) {
    

     if (tw.system.org.findRoleByName(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i])) { //team
    

       var tempTeam = tw.system.org.findRoleByName(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i]).users;
    

       for (var j = 0; j < tempTeam.length; j++) {
    

         if (tempTeam[j].name != tw.local.hrAdmin1) {
    

           tw.local.filteredTeam.members[tw.local.filteredTeam.members.listLength] = tempTeam[j].name;
    

         }
    

     } else {
    

       //individual user
    

       if (tw.local.originalTeam.members[i] != tw.local.hrAdmin1)
    

       //if member is not the hrAdmin member, add member to filtered list;
    

       tw.local.filteredTeam.members[tw.local.filteredTeam.members.listLength] = tw.local.originalTeam.members[i].toString();
    

     }
    

    }

    This error does not happen when Teams are assigned to individuals only or when teams are assigned to tw groups.

    This error only happens when the team contains custom groups created in Process Admin Console. Custom groups consist of only individual users.

    Does anyone know what causes this?

    Thanks!

    Hi Ailin,

    I tried recreating your scenario but this piece of code works fine with a team containing a user and a group created through Process Admin consisting one user.
    I am not too sure about your configuration, it would be helpful to identify the issue if you can provide  - 

    1. Full error log including the line number where the error is occurring 
    2. Setup of the team, meaning the construction of the team

    My snippet (its exact same)
    tw.local.filteredTeam = new tw.object.Team();

tw.local.filteredTeam.name = tw.local.originalTeam.name;
tw.local.filteredTeam.managerTeam = tw.local.originalTeam.managerTeam; 
tw.local.filteredTeam.members = new tw.object.listOf.String();

for (var i = 0; i < tw.local.originalTeam.members.listLength; i++) {
    if (tw.system.org.findRoleByName(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i])) {
        var tempTeam = tw.system.org.findRoleByName(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i]).users;
        for (var j = 0; j < tempTeam.length; j++) {
            if (tempTeam[j].name != tw.local.hrAdmin1) {
                tw.local.filteredTeam.members[tw.local.filteredTeam.members.listLength] = tempTeam[j].name;
            }
        }
    } else{
        if(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i] != tw.local.hrAdmin1){
            tw.local.filteredTeam.members[tw.local.filteredTeam.members.listLength] = tw.local.originalTeam.members[i].toString();
        }
    }
}​

    Thanks Atanu for your help. I eventually discovered the error is in 

    var tempTeam = tw.system.org.findRoleByName(tw.local.originalTeam.members[i]).users;

    .users was not retrieving any users. I switched to .allUsers and it is working as expected. 

    Maybe the BAW training document should be updated to use .allUsers instead of .users.

    I think, the difference between users and allUsers is that the first is likely for the users in that groups, whereas allUsers also covers users of nested subgroups.
