Indexing ignores identifier

[Acconut]

Grex = require("grex")
client = Grex.createClient({graph:"graph"})
query = Grex.gremlin()
g = Grex.g
foo = query.var(g.addVertex())
foo.identifier // 'i0'
query(g.idx("index").put("foo", "foo", foo))
query.script // 'i0=g.addVertex()\ng.idx(\'index\').put(\'foo\',\'foo\',g.addVertex())'

g.idx().put ignores an elements identifier.

It should generate following script:

i0=g.addVertex()
g.idx('index').put('foo','foo',i0)

I'm not entirely sure, but maybe this can be achieved by testing in Argument.parse whether an identifier for the argument exists.

Got it, identifiers are currently only supported in addEdge(). This definitely needs to be supported everywhere, in a generic way. This is indeed related to the Argument class, which needs to be updated to support bound parameters (v0.7.0 milestone).

Until this is fixed, you can circumvent this limitation by supplying a formatted string to query():

query('g.idx("index").put("foo", "foo", %s)', 'i0');

should do the trick.

Thanks, I'll use this for now.

I think your workaround won't do it because 'i0' will be inserted as a parameter and so ends up as a string.

I'll try following:

query('g.idx("index").put("foo", "foo", ' + foo.identifier + ')');
