Pattern is not of type 'array'

[prathya95]

I am trying to write the following rule: `patterns: | #CWE-285

  - pattern: |
    ...

    $THIS = $LOC.objects.filter(...)[$NUM]

    if $THIS:

      $X = $Y.objects.filter(...).order_by(...)

    ...`

For the following code: `... try:

  thislocation = Location.objects.filter(service_account = request.user)[0]

    if thislocation:

      visits = Visit.objects.filter(location = thislocation).order_by('-arrival')

...`

But I am getting the following error message, that the above semgrep rule is not of type 'array'. Any idea how to go about this?

@prathya95 would you mind sharing a link from https://semgrep.live as a reproduction?
