Cannot create enum Global variable via LUA

[marbe 23]

Hello,

I use creating new global variables via virtual device and LUA. But now I need to create enum global variable, and it works not for me.

 

My tests:

1- I create enum GV with states 1,2,3

2-on response I get

response=HC2:GET("/api/globalVariables/test")

3-Now I need to create new GV with new name, but same response

Please login or register to see this code.

There must be changed isEnum parameter to 1 (from true)

Now is new GV created, it is enum, but with no states, its only empty!

Same json works at docs well, but not at LUA code. This json at docs PUT /globalVariables/{globalVariableID} modified GV to enum with states:

Why LUA code doesn't create states as well as docs API? How is well syntax for parameter enumValues?

Thank you very much

Martin

@cag014 @marbe correct, it is a two step  process.

 

Here's an example. First I test if the variable exists. If not, create the variable. Then I change it to accept a few predefined values. In the next line, I change that list of values.

As far as I know you can not create new variable, but you can change/modify exist variable.

Just  exactly what you did in docs, I believe you have specified {globalVariableID}  as test... right?

In your code {globalVariableID} not specified.

Just an idea... have monitored how new variable created using UI. It was done by two steps:

Step 1:

PUT http://hc2/api/globalVariables/new

Where request body is:

{"name":"new","value":"Value 1","isEnum":true,"enumValues":["Value 1","Value 2"]}

status response 200

Step 2:

POST http://hc2/api/globalVariables

Request body is:

{"name":"new","value":"Value 1"}

status response 201

Please try it... and let me know if it works...

Hi,

yes, this procedure works, thank you!

Important is:

• first create new variable, but without isEnum parameter
• seconds set isEnum and enumValues

I tried create new variable with enum parameter true, and this is not possible.
