Problem with using variables (.toString' cannot be resolved)

Hello,

I’m having an weird issue for some hours now…

Having this part of my script:

    val nextValveNum = 0
    val nextValveName = ""
    val nextValveSwitch = null

    val activeValves = gIrrigationTime.members.filter[t|t.state > 0]
    logInfo("Irrigation", "--------------------------------------------")
    var boolean exitFlag = false
    activeValves.forEach[i|
        if(!exitFlag) {
            logInfo("Irrigation", i.toString)
            val valveTimeName = i.name.toString
            val valveName = valveTimeName.split("_").get(0) + "_" + valveTimeName.split("_").get(1)
            val valveNum = Integer::parseInt(valveName.split("_").get(1)) // Irrigation_1_Time

            if(valveNum > currValveNum) {
                logInfo("Irrigation", "Found new active valve: " + valveName.toString)
                nextValveNum = valveNum
                nextValveName = valveName
                nextValveSwitch = gIrrigation.members.filter[i|i.name == valveName].head
                logInfo("Irrigation", gIrrigation.members.filter[i|i.name == valveName].head.toString)
                logInfo("Irrigation", nextValveNum.toString)
                logInfo("Irrigation", nextValveName.toString)
                logInfo("Irrigation", nextValveSwitch.toString)
                exitFlag = true
            }
        } else {
            logInfo("Irrigation", "Already found a next valve!")
        }
    ]
    logInfo("Irrigation", "Continuing")

I’m trying to fill nextValveSwitch with the valve from gIrrigation which has a runtime greater than 0. So far so good, I’m getting this error:

So it looks like it can’t fill the “nextValveSwitch” var.

How can I fix that?

nextValveSwitch should be an Item?

As it is an Item, you would want to examine its .state or .name or whatever it is you are interested in?

3

Yes, nextValveSwitch should be an item.
That log command is just to Check if nextValveSwitch has been set to the new item but it fails because it is still null.

4

I think you miss my point. Items do not have a toString method. Maybe nextValveSwitch.name.toString or nextValveSwitch.state.toString

I’m not too sure about that.

This one is working with .toString:

logInfo("Irrigation", gIrrigation.members.filter[i|i.name == valveName].head.toString)

And I think it’s nearly the same
