item.descriptor.revisionList Problem

[dkeeley]

Hi,

I am doing some testing with the item revision list scripts and am experiencing some problems. I'd like to know whether there's a problem with the system or a problem with my script.

I've tried this on about 6 or 7 different items and they all seem to have the same issue. I'll give an example below.

I have an item that have 4 release versions as follows;

1 Superseeded

2 Superseeded

3 Released

4 Working

When I run a test script with 'item.descriptor.revisionList.length' it returns a value of "4.0".

When I run a test script with 'item.descriptor.revisionList' it returns the following;

"[Version: 4 Release: null Lifecycle: Working, Version: 3 Release: null Lifecycle: Released, Version: 2 Release: null Lifecycle: Superseded, Version: 1 Release: null Lifecycle: Superseded]"

When I run a test script with 'item.descriptor.revisionList[0]' it returns the following;

"Version: 4 Release: null Lifecycle: Working"

So far so good...However....

When I run a test script with 'item.descriptor.revisionList[0].lifecycleState.stateName' it returns the following;

"Released"  [should be "Working"]?????

When I run a test script with 'item.descriptor.revisionList[0].release' it returns the following;

"null"  [should be "4.0"]???

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David.

Hi David,

It turns out you need to use different API functions to achieve what you were looking for via scripting.

item.descriptor.revisionList[i].release will return the production release value only. If you need to return the version before production release, then you should call item.descriptor.revisionList[i].versionRelease. Note that this call will be null for the current working revision.

item.descriptor.revisionList[i].lifecycleState.stateName is the current state of the lifecycle, not the lifecycle for that revision number. To access the state name of a given revision, please use item.descriptor.revisionList[i].lifecycleStatus.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Regards,
