string[] outputs java object

[michaelluich]

In my spec:

expectedInputs:

• id: ldapGroups type: string[] name: Groups description: Email groups to add user to. # Optional default: # Optional
  • actifians
  • networkaccess-full

arguments:

• --ldapGroups=${inputs["ldapGroups"]}

This is what I get in the python script I call. I would expect some sort of text. '--ldapGroups': 'com.github.jobson.jobinputs.stringarray.StringArrayInput@c003911f',

I agree, the output is poor. We don't personally use the feature in production, which is why it doesn't exist - but it should.

I just patched jobson-0.0.8 with a join function that lets you write:

${join(",", inputs["ldapGroups"])}
${join(",", inputs.ldapGroups)}

The patch also makes the default string representation of a string array input into a comma-delimited list of the array's inputs, so if you use the bare identifier (in your case, ldapGroups) then it will default to producing the same result as the above. Explicitly using the join function allows you to customize the delimiter to your liking (and being explicit can be a good thing).

The commit above (afbb42a) shows all the code-based changes. These won't affect you directly, but do contain a few examples of usage in the tests.

The basic use case works fine.

I have not tested the join function.

Thanks.
