How to query the parameters of a task?

[ensean]

From the definition of the Task class, it seems that we can only get task_name/task_id, is it possible to get the detailed info, such as parameters(may be included in actionscripts)

[eyce9000]

I have not tried to find out the parameters of a Task before. I don't see that specified in the .bes file, so I think you may have to search through the actionscript text to figure that out.

Could use this RegEx: parameter\s"(.)"\s_of\s_action

[ensean]

The workaround you provide seems to be workable.

But here goes another question, how to get the actionscripts of one task?

I have not find getter method for the Class Task ...

[eyce9000]

Task inherits two methods from FixletWithAction: getAction() and getDefaultAction(). Please use those to get the actions from your fixlet.

[ensean]

getTasks method in IEMAPI is as follows:

public List<BESAPI.Task> getTasks(String siteType,String site){
        return getBESAPIContent(buildSiteTarget(apiRoot.path("/tasks/"),siteType,site).request().get(),BESAPI.Task.class);
}

But BESAPI.Task seems not to inherits from any class...

public static class Task {

        @XmlElement(name = "Name")
        @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NormalizedStringAdapter.class)
        @XmlSchemaType(name = "normalizedString")
        protected String name;
        @XmlElement(name = "ID")
        @XmlSchemaType(name = "nonNegativeInteger")
        protected BigInteger id;
        @XmlAttribute(name = "Resource")
        @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NormalizedStringAdapter.class)
        @XmlSchemaType(name = "normalizedString")
        protected String resource;
        @XmlAttribute(name = "LastModified")
        @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NormalizedStringAdapter.class)
        @XmlSchemaType(name = "normalizedString")
        protected String lastModified;

        /**

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        /**

        public void setName(String value) {
            this.name = value;
        }

        /**

        public BigInteger getID() {
            return id;
        }

        public void setID(BigInteger value) {
            this.id = value;
        }

        /**

        public void setResource(String value) {
            this.resource = value;
        }

        /**

         */
        public void setLastModified(String value) {
            this.lastModified = value;
        }

        public BESAPI.Task withName(String value) {
            setName(value);
            return this;
        }

        public BESAPI.Task withID(BigInteger value) {
            setID(value);
            return this;
        }

        public BESAPI.Task withResource(String value) {
            setResource(value);
            return this;
        }

        public BESAPI.Task withLastModified(String value) {
            setLastModified(value);
            return this;
        }

    }

I tried to cast from BESAPI.Task to Task, but failed

List<Task> taskList = (Task)client.getTasks("custom", "CGBsite");

Any suggestion?

[eyce9000]

You need to do the following:

List<BESAPI.Task> taskList = client.getTasks("custom","CGBsite");
Optional<com.bigfix.schemas.bes.Task> task = client.getTask(taskList.get(0));
Action action = task.get().getDefaultAction();

Note that there is a difference betwee com.bigfix.schemas.bes.Task and BESAPI.Task.

[ensean]

It seems that the static class BES.Task does not exist....

[eyce9000]

apologies com.bigfix.schemas.bes.Task

[ensean]

ooops, type mismatch for com.bigfix.schemas.bes.Task task = client.getTask(taskList.get(0));

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Optional to Task

[eyce9000]

Ok, fixed that as well. This library uses google guava Optional classes in cases where a query might not return a result.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response :)
