Duplicate feature parameter's'

Toshimichi_OdaToshimichi_Oda OS Professional Posts: 53 PRO

Error occurred, but I do not think it is not an error.

       Duplicate feature parameter's'

I use duplicated name of inner parameter of array, but names of two arrays are different.
It is not serious for me because I am good to change the name.



annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "My Feature" }
export const myFeature = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
    precondition
    {
        annotation { "Name" : "Widgets", "Item name" : "Widget", "Item label template" : "#myParameter" }
        definition.myWidgets is array;
        for (var widget in definition.myWidgets)
        {
            widget.arrayItem is string;
        }
        
        annotation { "Name" : "Widgets", "Item name" : "Widget", "Item label template" : "#myParameter" }
        definition.myWidgets2 is array;
        for (var widget in definition.myWidgets2)
        {
            widget.arrayItem is string;  // when change to "widget.arrayItem2", no error
        }

    }
    {
    });


Maybe namespace of each item of array is not exist .

    @Toshimichi_Oda
    This sounds like na error on our side. Thank you for pointing it out.

    Thank you.
    I feel good about usability of FS.

    @lana Is this actually a bug on Onshape's end? I always assumed it was just a part of strict unique parameter naming requirements, as described via the last line of the documentation on array parameters:
    Note that inner parameter names must be unique across the entire feature (even though they are not stored directly on the definition map).

    Yes, this is more of a known limitation than an outright bug.

    @lana , @ilya_baran, thank you.

    I see it is a limitation than an outright bug.

    The limitation is a little hassle only in programming,
    but no problem for using feature written in FS.
    So I think it is not serious.

    On second thought, it is strange for programming.

    In precondition, I make the same two preconditions to be made to a function.
    One is out of array, another is with in array-loop.
    annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "testCallPredicate1" }
    export const testCallPredicate1 = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
        precondition
        {
            stringPredicate1(definition);  //out of array
        }
        {
        });

    annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "testCallPredicate3" }
    export const testCallPredicate3 = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
    precondition{}
    {});

    annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "testCallPredicate2" }
    export const testCallPredicate2 = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
        precondition
        {
            annotation { "Name" : "Widgets", "Item name" : "Widget", "Item label template" : "#str" }
            definition.myWidgets is array;
            for (var widget in definition.myWidgets)
            {
                stringPredicate1(widget);  // within array-loop  // Error!
                // stringPredicate2(widget);  // no error!
            }
        }
        {
        });

    predicate stringPredicate1(definition)
    {
        annotation { "Name" : "str" }
        definition.str is string;    
    }
    predicate stringPredicate2(widget)
    {
        annotation { "Name" : "str" }
        widget.str is string;    
    }

    stringPredicate1(widget) causes Error.
    But stringPredicate2(widget)  has no error.
    And using 'definition' instead of 'widget' has no error.
     
            for (var definition in definition.myWidgets)
            {
                stringPredicate1(definition);  // no error!
           }

    I think that it is strange for program.
