patching a collection to add a field - ravendb

I'm wanting to patch a RavenDB to add a field to a collection but am just getting errors using the suggested syntax. (I'm probably not understanding what I'm supposed to use)
I've tried the following in the patch window but get error: ' "Message": "Deserializing Json object with empty string as property name is not supported."
'
store
.DatabaseCommands
.Patch(
new ScriptedPatchRequest
{
Script = "_.extend(this, { 'GroupPlayString': 'Group Play'});"
});

Use:
Script = "this.GroupPlayString = 'Group Play'"

Cosmos DB "Partial Update"/Patch, cant set new property value to null

I'm trying out the Cosmos DB SDK's new Patch/Partial Update-functionality (for .NET)
When adding a new property I use
var patchOperations = new List<PatchOperation>(){
PatchOperation.Add<string>("/FavoriteColor", **null**)
};
await container.PatchItemAsync<T>(
id: myId,
partitionKey: new PartitionKey(myPk),
patchOperations: patchOperations);
The problem is, that it throws at the PatchOperation-Add() if I set second parameter to null (with message "Value cannot be null"). I can set any non-null string and it works well. I just wonder if this isn't supported yet or if I missed something.
Thanks to github user rvdvelden (source), this work around appears to work perfectly:
private JToken NullValue { get { return new JProperty("nullValue", null).Value; } }
Used in this way:
operations.Add(PatchOperation.Set("\customer", value ?? NullValue));
Remove is one alternative if the intent is to remove field/property.
This is not supported with Patch yet,
However, if you want to remove the entire property you need to use Remove Operation

How to set array property value in code using Carina Test Framework for API tests?

I have the following request json body:
{
...
"attachmentIds": "${attachments}"
...
}
I have a properties file that includes the declaration of the corresponding placeholder
I want to set array of strings in code instead of "attachments" placeholder, but getProperties().setProperty() expects only string value.
How can I achieve it other way or is it possible at all?
Thanks!
As an option you can transform your array into the String in java code. And then pass this String as property value.
Another option, you can pass String array from code and then parse it in your json template.
For example:
String[] arr = { "1", "2", "3" };
apiMethod.addProperty("attachments", arr);
And then in your json:
{
"attachmentIds": [<#list attachments as val>"${val}"<#if val?has_next>,</#if></#list>]
}
Check freemarker documentation to get more details:
https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_loop_var.html
Also please note that some of freemarker functions (including has_next) are available only in newest versions of library. So make sure to add into your dependencies list. Carina is now in process of migrating to latest freemarker version.

Parse string into JSON

I have an array of objects $arr and an object has a property named as jsonData which contains json data in a string, how to parse that string to actual JSON object and retrieve lets say value for key name? I tried this:
#foreach ($obj in $arr)
#set ($jsonData = "#evaluate(${obj.jsonData})")
$jsonData.get("name") ## <-- not working
#end
If anyone using velocity in AWS API Gateway ends up here, you can use AWS'
$util.parseJson() to covert a string to JSON.
Make sure you note if your string is using single or double quotes. You may need to use $util.escapeJavaScipt.replaceAll() before parsing the string.
Fixed it like this:
#foreach ($obj in $arr)
#set( $jsonData = '#set( $jsonData = ' + $obj.jsonData + ' )' )
#evaluate ($jsonData)
$jsonData.get("name") ##<-- works now
#end
I was using velocity 1.7
This is mainly AWS lambda (in python) response template related.. so.. if you want to return custom response code with json it is easy to return JSON in node js but when it comes to python as per i know, we cant raise dict as a value. So.. this may help. If you are doing like..
raise Exception({"responseCode": 400, "response": "missing :\"recipientCount\""})
It will throw exception in errorMessage key and value as a string.
To overcome this..
Add response code 400 in Method Response
regExp in Integration Response :
.*'responseCode': 400.*
Add Body Mapping Template as application/json:
$util.escapeJavaScript( $input.path('$.errorMessage')).replaceAll("\\'",'\"')
Make sure you are not using single quotes in value in exception string.
Wrong:
raise Exception({"responseCode": 400, "response": "missing :'recipientCount'"})
Right:
raise Exception({"responseCode": 400, "response": "missing :\"recipientCount\""})
I know it is not best solution... but this is the only solution i have found. Feel free if you have better solution.

Creating new smartform data using Ektron ContentTypes

Ektron 8.0.1 SP1
I am using SmartForms and Content Types to read (and hopefully write) data. I can read data but now I am attempting to write a new record similar to the following.
ContentTypeManager<member> contentTypeManager = new ContentTypeManager<member>();
ContentType<member> newmem = new ContentType<member>();
newmem.SmartForm.details.field1 = "Chuck"; // This line throws 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error
newmem.SmartForm.details.field2 = "Norris";
contentTypeManager.Update(newmem);
I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." for that first assignment line. What am I missing?
I am having trouble finding good documentation on ContentTypes for 8.0.1 now that the Ektron website has been redesigned.
Thx.
Thanks for clarifying, to ADD content to a folder that has a smartform assigned to it, the basic code block should get you started: (Note: the Html attribute of the content is simply the xml matched to the schema you created)
Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager cmanager = new Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager();
Ektron.Cms.ContentData cdata = new ContentData();
cdata.FolderId = 0;
cdata.XmlConfiguration.Id = 0; //SMARTFORM ID HERE
cdata.Html = "<root><field1>field1 value</field1><field2>field2 value</field2></root>";
cmanager.Add(cdata);
You could update ContentTypes.cs to include an Add method. Just copy the Update method and change contentManager.Update to contentManager.Add.
public void Add(ContentType<T> contentType)
{
Initialize();
contentType.Content.Html = Ektron.Cms.EkXml.Serialize(typeof(T), contentType.SmartForm);
contentManager.Add(contentType.Content);
}
Unfortunately, contentManager.Add returns void. Ideally it should return the new content ID.

Linqpad - Outputting into anchor to use title

I have a db that stores exception messages.
I would like to create a query that gets these exceptions but instead of dumping huge amounts of text i would prefer it to be "on demand".
I figured putting the exception into an anchor tag like so and then reading the message when needed by mousing over it would work... apparently not.
var logsForErrors = (from error in Logs
select new {
error = LINQPad.Util.RawHtml("<a title='"+ error.Exception+"'></a>"),
errorDate = error.Date,
errorMessage = error.Message
}).Take(10);
logsForErrors.Dump();
This is throwing an exception (lol) - "Cannot parse custom HTML: "
Encoding the exception message
...RawHtml("<a title='"+ Uri.EscapeDataString(error.Exception)+"'></a>")
Message Could not translate expression 'RawHtml((("h__TransparentIdentifier0.error.Exception)) +
"'>"))' into SQL and could not treat it as a local expression.
will generate a new error
Any ideas? - I am open to alternative solutions to this also.
I just want a container for the message instead of it just dumping right into the output as it it so huge!.
Thanks,
Kohan
Have you tried using the "Results to DataGrids" mode in the recent betas? It might do just what you need without having to write anything else.
Edit: your error was probably due to emitting HTML without escaping the text. The easiest solution is to call Util.RawHtml with an XElement instead of a string. You could write an extension method that does what you want like this:
public static class Extensions
{
public static object Tooltipize (this string data)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty (data) || data.Length < 20) return data;
return Util.RawHtml (new XElement ("span", new XAttribute ("title", data), data.Substring (0, 20)));
}
}
Put this into My Extensions and you can use it from any query.
