CodeEffects.Rule.Editor 6.0.8.3

CodeEffects.Rule.Editor.dll - Version 6.0.8.3

The assembly CodeEffects.Rule.Editor.dll declares the main types of the Rule Editor component of Code Effects decision automation platform.

What's New in Version 6.0.8.3

This is a minor release of Code Effects 6.x that fixes a bug in loading stored rules. It is recommended for all customers whose rules use in-rule methods inside calculations.

Fixed: rules with an in-rule method inside a calculation could not be opened

A rule that uses an in-rule method as part of a calculation was reported as invalid when loaded into the Rule Editor, for example:

• set Result to (480 - GetFixed())
• set Result to (480 - GetTotal(Day, 5))
• set Result to ((GetFixed() + 10) * 2)
• check if (480 - GetFixed()) is greater than Minutes

After Control.LoadRuleXml(), IsValid returned false and GetInvalidData() reported one of these messages on the method:

• "The next element must be a clause, a right parenthesis, or the end of a source section", when the method was the last part of the calculation
• "This element and the next one cannot be of the same type", when more of the calculation followed the method

The bug affected methods with and without parameters, in conditions and in actions, and rules in both the current and older rule XML formats. The same method used on its own, outside a calculation, loaded correctly, as did calculations made only of fields and numbers.

The Rule Engine was not affected and always evaluated these rules correctly. Only opening them in the Rule Editor failed.

What you need to do

Update the CodeEffects.Rule.Editor package. No changes to your rules, source objects or code are needed. Rules that failed to load before now open, validate and save normally.
