uiselectmany on command line?

[jjfraney]

I don't understand UISelectMany with class names.

My addon defines a ui component for a class selection as such:

@Inject

@WithAttributes(label = "targets", required = true, type = InputType.JAVA_CLASS_PICKER);

private UISelectMany<JavaResource> targets;

All other ui properties are optional.

In case it matters, in initializeUI I scan for qualified classes and add them to 'targets' with:

targets.setValueChoices(someCandidateClasses>);

The intention of the above is for the select-list to be pre-populated.

Then, at runt time, I use forge command line:

<my addon's command> --targets org.example.library.rest.LibrarianRR

And it prompts, as follows, note that option [1] is not already selected.

***INFO*** Required inputs not satisfied, entering interactive mode

[0] ( ) org.example.library.book.model.BookRR

[1] ( ) org.example.library.rest.LibrarianRR

Press <ENTER> to confirm, or <CTRL>+C to cancel.

I would like to pass a class name for 'targets' UISelectMany in the command line....and skip the interactive mode.  I don't want to be prompted after I specify a target on the command line.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

This is a known bug and it is still present in the Shell UI. For now, change your type to UISelectMany<String>  and it should work correctly.
