Could this be a bug? I noticed that declaring a fact works but as soon as I try to get or set it, it fails. I'm attaching a very simple example that shows this behavior, and fails even though I think it should run. non-working-example.tar.gz
I think you are correct. I don’t think a given for a fact not defined is propagated down the rule chain - seems like an oversight.
even when it should be fixed you can add facts for other rules down the evaluation chain by having the facts map as a given
@Given NameValueReferableMap facts;
It should be shown in one of the examples since it is a useful feature and not everybody is using lambda style
Hi. When using POJO rules, how can I add facts in one rule that can be used by a subsequent rule in the same ruleset?
I saw in the FAQ that "If a fact is changed or added in a Rule then that change or addition is present for other Rules down the rule chain." But if I specify a @Given for something that is not yet defined, it throws an error*. And it's not clear how I could create a new NameValueReferable that is then picked up and stored in the fact map.
*Error on undefined @Given:
