The self-destruct block ends with a single-statement %else in open code:
%if &keepme ne 1 %then %do;
%mv_deletejes(path=&root/admin, name=makedata);
%end;
%else %put NOTE: &_program retained, as KEEPME was requested;
Outside a macro SAS pairs %else only with a %do branch, so this stops with
'ERROR: Expected %DO not found' and 'ERROR: Skipping to next %END statement'
after the deployment has completed. On Viya the job then reports state error
with jobConditionCode 1012, so a successful deployment looks like a failure
exactly when someone is watching a first install.
Both branches now use %do/%end, which is the pattern the repo uses elsewhere
for this reason - see db/migrations/20261003_row_and_cell_limits.sas.
The same block is fixed in the server variant. The two delete calls also gain
their terminating semicolons: the macro call worked without them, but their
absence is what made the block look responsible for the error.
Behaviour is unchanged: the program still deletes itself unless KEEPME was
requested.
sasjs lint (@sasjs/cli 6.2.5) reported 24 warnings across the 11 .sas files
this release touches. None of them are in those files now:
- mpeinit and mpeterm are added to ignoredMacros in sas/.sasjslint. Every
service is compiled with a serviceInit program (sasjs/utils/
serviceinitsas9|viya|server.sas), and all three declare both macros in
their own header, which is how a service body's %mpeinit()/%mpeterm()
resolves without a declaration of its own. An explicit ignoredMacros list
replaces the default, so webout stays listed.
- Header entries nothing in the file calls are dropped: mp_binarycopy in
getrawdata (it arrives through mp_streamfile, which calls it - the
compiled program is unchanged), mp_jsonout in viewdata,
mp_assertcolvals in validatefilter.test, and mx_execute in testsetup
(every file that calls it declares it).
- Prose carrying "error"/"warning" is reworded. Where the text is log
output, %put WARNING: is written %put %str(WARN)ING: so the line the
log receives is unchanged.
- The server makedata service keeps its doxygen @warning tag - the tag is
the content - so that file carries @sasjslint {"noBannedStrings": false}.
- Two comment lines in getdata are re-indented to the file's multiple of 2.
AGENTS.md records the ignoredMacros rule and the %str(WARN)ING convention so
the next warning is not silenced by reflex. Compile passes; the 93 warnings
that remain are all in files this release does not touch.
getcolvals - mf_nobs returns -1 when the dataset does not exist, so the guard
tested ==0 and a request that supplied no iwant at all fell through to the SQL.
It now tests <=0, which covers both an empty and an absent input.
mpe_refreshcatalogs - etlsource defaulted to a bare uid while its two siblings
use refreshcatalog:<step>:<uid>, so a load through this path could not be traced
to the step that wrote it. The default now has the same shape, and the explicit
etlsource=0 path follows it too.
mpe_execute - the status table was read without being cleared, so a child that
died before core wrote a row left the previous call's row in place and failfast
read it as completed. The table is deleted before the call.
makedata - KEEPME is compared through cats(), so a numeric column no longer
raises in upcase().
The statements written into the catalog ended without a semicolon, so the
%INCLUDE that ran them ran on into the caller: the parser finished the statement
with the text after the include and tried to include it, producing
'Cannot open %INCLUDE file PROC' immediately before the next proc sql, and
refreshlibinfo aborted with syscc non-zero.
The three refresh macros are only reached through those generated statements, so
the false 'declared but not used' warnings are switched off with a @sasjslint
block rather than by dropping the declarations.
The KEEPME probe did 'set work.fromjs' inside the varnum guard and then stopped,
so only the first observation was inspected: a submission that set KEEPME on a
later row still self-destructed. It now reads to end of file.
makeDataNextViya.json ships KEEPME=Y and is the config that seeds a real Viya
environment, so the default posture there was 'the seeding program stays on the
server'. KEEPME stays in makeDataSas719.json, which exists for the test
harness, and is removed from the environment seed.
MPE_DATALOADS is keyed on (processed_dttm, libref, dsn, etlsource), and etlsource
was the calling macro name, so a second catalogue load of the same table in the
same second was refused as a duplicate. The three refresh macros now take an
etlsource parameter, defaulting to refreshcatalog:<step>:%mf_uid(), which records
which step loaded what and keeps the audit row unique.
dc_refreshcatalog also echoes the generated statements when debug is on, since a
failure inside one of them otherwise names no libref.
A refresh that catalogues the wrong libraries is hard to read from the log: the
list is built here, then filtered and reworked by its callers. With
sasjs_mdebug set, print the result so the library list can be checked at source.
dictionary.libnames lists the DC libref as well, so it was seeded into the
result by the SELECT and then added a second time by the explicit INSERT. The
duplicate row then collides with pk_mpe_datacatalog_libs when the refresh closes
the bitemporal record:
ERROR: Duplicate values not allowed on index pk_mpe_datacatalog_libs
The DC libref is now excluded from the scan, so it arrives once, from the INSERT
that carries its library name and engine.
A full makedata on every sasjs test run is expensive, and it made the suite
depend on state the tests themselves should not be creating. Move it to where
DC already does this: the npm scripts that send deploy/makeData*.json to
services/admin/makedata.
npm run sas719setup deploy, then seed once
npm run sas719test run the suite as often as wanted
KEEPME in the payload keeps makedata on the server, so a reseed does not need a
redeploy first. Viya's makedata gains the same switch, so nextviyamakedata
behaves the same way.
Tests must now leave the estate as they found it - that is the follow-up, and it
is what makes re-running a single test possible.
Tests inferred whether a service call worked by reading an outlib that a failed
call never touched, so assertions ran against the previous call's tables. This
adds dc_execute, which wraps mx_execute and makes each call observable:
- failfast: abort as soon as the child did not complete, with its message, so
the first failure is the real one
- a status row per call (outstatus) so a test can assert the outcome
- the child's log behind the harness debug flag, quiet otherwise
testsetup reseeds the data baseline before the test library is built, makedata
honours a keepme switch and getdata initialises the variables it later tests
with %length, plus desc= values reworded where a comma or apostrophe unbalanced
the parameter.
sasjs/macros/mx_execute.sas is a TEMPORARY copy from sasjs/core#476, which adds
outlogds/outstatus and stops leaving work.results in the caller WORK. Delete it
and bump the dependency once that PR is released.
symget('_contextname') is concatenated directly into the PRX replacement
string in makedata.sas. A context name containing \ or $ would be
interpreted as a backreference or variable interpolation in the Perl
regex replacement. Escape both characters with a leading backslash in a
data step before embedding the value in the prxchange call.
BREAKING CHANGE: Introduction of 4 new tables for capturing information related to catalogs and their objects. Migration script prepared and available in the DB folder (usual place)
