Why is this if failing?

[celestian]

This works:

Code: Select all

[spellInfo = json.get(sk,spellName)]
[count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')]

and this fails:

Code: Select all

[spellInfo = json.get(sk,spellName)]
[if (spellInfo != ''): count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')]

The only difference is I am trying to make sure spellInfo is not ''. I've tried !json.isEmpty(spellInfo) also and it fails also.

Code: Select all

   Error in body of roll.       Statement options (if any): if (spellInfo != '')       Statement Body : count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')

This should work:

Code: Select all

[spellInfo = json.get(sk,spellName)]
[if(! json.isEmpty(spellInfo)): count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')]

Sometimes I forget the 2nd ) which could account for your error. Also, if spellInfo is not a json, the get will give you an error. You could add this:

Code: Select all

[spellInfo = json.get(sk,spellName)]
[if(! json.isEmpty(spellInfo) && json.type == "OBJECT"): count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')]

Thanks!

Had to make a slight tweak to your code to make it work (json.type(var)) but it worked just like I needed.

Code: Select all

[if(! json.isEmpty(sk) && json.type(sk) == "OBJECT"):  spellInfo = json.get(sk,spellName);spellInfo='']
[if(! json.isEmpty(spellInfo) && json.type(spellInfo) == "OBJECT"): count = json.get(spellInfo,'count')]

The test for OBJECT was the bit that seemed to make the difference!
