VF results not matching QS
Posted: 05 Nov 2022 00:32
I am not entirely sure if this sort of slightly complex query is expected to work in GVF/VF/LF, although if using QS it does, maybe VF just has never been capable of this and I have just never tried previously, anyway I have knocked up a repro script to illustrate the issue, which has also exposed a couple other things that I think might need checking into anyway, even if I am just misusing VF first char negation.
After running the script you should notice the correct results in the QS pane, but theoretically both panes should match? Initially I thought it may have had something to do with VFAllowMasterInvertOldWay, but I have tried both settings which didn't change the results, so just thought I'd see if you think it should work, but I made this report mainly because of the other issues, such as when I run the above script in fresh, without that second last line of #263 (which I used just to initialize QS) then the last line QS doesn't have a return, but from second run on is ok, this seems like a bug, you can test by just commenting out that line, and running in fresh.
Additionally I noticed that SyncSelect doesn't work (conditionally) when one of the panes is a manually invoked QS (maybe div issue), you can test via GUI after running above script, or
Code: Select all
$path = "<xyscripts>\LF_test";
$ext = "txt";
$filter = "!(two | three) AND !Tags:test AND Ext:$ext";
focus "P1";
if (!exists($path)) { while ($i++ < 40) { new("$path\" . gettoken("one two three four five", rand(1, 5), " ", , rand(1, 2)) . ".$ext"); } }
tab("new", $path);
tagitems("tags", "test", quicksearch("/l=4 /fn", $path));
filter $filter;
focus "P2";
tab("new", $path);
#263; // INIT QS, ELSE BELOW QS DOESN'T WORK ON FIRST RUN
goto quicksearch(":$filter /fn", $path, "|") . "?"; // THIS QS DOESN'T WORK ON FIRST RUN (I THINK BUG)
Additionally I noticed that SyncSelect doesn't work (conditionally) when one of the panes is a manually invoked QS (maybe div issue), you can test via GUI after running above script, or
text syncselect(, 1, , 2);
Took me an hour to get down to the heart of the problem. But I got it and fixed it.
