Review findings, all about a warning that misleads:
- The banner heading said the mapping was ignored, but two of the three
lists it renders are mappings that are applied (the AND-ed pair) or that
were never applicable (a parameter VA does not send). Neutral heading.
- unmatchedMappings reported a key as unsent as soon as any parameter had
been seen. VA sends the parameters a report object's query uses, so a
name that has not arrived yet looked like a typo. A mapping is now only
judged once a message introduces no new parameter name, i.e. once the
object's parameter set has settled.
- sameColumnMappings counted a column the table does not have, so one
mistake produced the unresolved-mapping line and the AND line. A column
that is not in the table is now left to unresolvedMappings.
- The Cypress cases asserted exact row counts, which encode the demo
table's contents. They now read the unfiltered count from the app and
assert the filtered grid is smaller (or empty), so a fixture change
cannot fail a behaviour test.
Subtracting a fixed day from the next quarter's start moves by an hour
across a daylight-saving transition, which would place a DATETIME bound
off the intended midnight. Day 0 of the following month is the last day
of the month by construction.
A VA parameter can now carry a transform on the column side of a mapping:
va_parmap=SELECTED_DATE-D_DATE:ADD(QUARTER_START,-1)
which filters D_DATE on the report value AND the same point one quarter
earlier, as a single IN clause - so the AND rule, the clause signature,
saveQuery and the reload loop are untouched.
Transforms resolve to one clause with these operations:
- ADD(<ANCHOR>,<offset>) the value plus one anchor beside it -> IN
- RANGE(<PERIOD>,<offset>) a closed period -> BETWEEN
Anchors: QUARTER_START/END, MONTH_START/END, YEAR_START/END.
Periods: QUARTER, MONTH, YEAR. Offset is a whole number of periods,
defaulting to 0.
The names describe the result rather than mirroring SAS intnx: the
arithmetic runs in the browser, so mirroring intnx would mean
reimplementing its alignment letters and their corners (week alignment,
's' and 'm') with no guarantee of matching SAS. A report author can read
ADD(QUARTER_START,-1) without knowing intnx.
Resolution is anchored on the parameter value, never on today, so a saved
report reproduces the same rows. A transform that cannot run where it is
used - a non-temporal column, a value that is not a date - is skipped and
reported in the existing warning banner rather than silently filtering on
the raw value.
`surfer deploy` chooses its target only from `--site-name`; without one it
replaces the app's DEFAULT site. The typedoc job passed `--server
webdoc.datacontroller.io` and no site name, so the 7.19.0 docs were published
over the default site of that app - the marketing site served at
datacontroller.io - instead of to a webdoc site.
Name the site, and give it its alias domain so the first run creates it.
The SAS docs job is left unnamed on purpose: code.datacontroller.io is its own
app whose default site is the docs, and a comment now says so.
The parse-time problems were logged at app init and then again by the
editor's warning loop, which spreads them into the banner's text. The loop
now logs only what the instance discovers for itself (unresolved column,
unmatched key, AND-ed pair); the parse problems stay in the banner and keep
their single init-time console line.
E2e case 11 pins it: one unparseable entry plus one valid-but-missing
mapping, so the loop certainly runs and logs its own line, and exactly one
line mentions the parse problem.
Two review findings, both paths where a filter could look applied while
producing nothing.
- `unresolvedMappings` judged a mapping against an empty column list while the
grid was still loading, so every entry was briefly reported as naming a
column the table does not have. An empty or unset `cols` now means "not known
yet" and returns nothing, so the banner appears only once metadata exists.
- Two parameters mapped to one column are AND-ed, so different values yield no
rows at all, and nothing said so. `sameColumnMappings()` now reports the
contended column and both parameters. The clauses are deliberately left as an
intersection: turning that AND into an OR is a filter-semantics decision, not
a diagnostic, so it is tracked separately.
Covered by unit tests for both (unloaded column list, one line per contended
column) and e2e case 10, which drives two parameters onto one column and
asserts the banner plus the empty grid.
Records that two parameters mapped to the same DC column are AND-ed, so the
result is the intersection: two different dates match no rows rather than
both dates' rows. Answers the 'filter one column on two dates' case from the
code rather than by assumption, and marks the single-parameter IN (...) shape
as the one that unions.
Three follow-ups from review, all the same class of defect: an author error
that leaves an unfiltered grid looking like a working filter.
- A duplicate key in `va_parmap` silently kept whichever entry came last, so
`va_parmap=DEPT-REGION&va_parmap=DEPT-OTHER` filtered OTHER with nothing to
show for it. One VA parameter now maps one column: the first entry wins and
a conflicting duplicate is reported. The same mapping written twice is not a
conflict, and two different parameters mapping to one column stay valid -
that is how two report objects filter the same column from their own
parameters.
- A parameter-side typo (mapping `DROPDOWN_TAB1` when the report parameter is
`DROPDOWN_TAB_1`) produced no clause, no banner and no console line.
VaMessagingService now records every parameter key it has seen, across
editor reloads, and the editor reports a mapping key that VA has never sent.
Judged only once parameters are actually arriving, because VA sends just the
parameters its query uses - an absent key is not on its own an error, and a
key that turns up later stops being reported.
- The deferred first load cannot check a mapped column against metadata. On
SAS `mp_filtercheck` aborts the save, so the load falls back to unfiltered;
the banner now covers that path too, and an e2e case seeds the pre-bootstrap
message buffer to prove it (and to prove a valid mapping filters the very
first getdata).
A `va_parmap` entry that cannot be used was dropped in silence, in both
places it can fail: at parse time (no `-` separator, a missing side, or a
column that is not a plain SAS name) and at apply time (the mapped column is
not in the table being opened). Either way the parameter is skipped, which
degrades to "no filter" - a typo in the report's URL then looks exactly like
a working filter over the whole table.
Both are now reported in terms the report author can act on:
- a warning banner in the editor (VA mode) naming the parameter, the column
and the table, and pointing at the `va_parmap` entries in the URL
- console.warn for each distinct problem, so it is findable from the report's
console too
The parser returns `{ map, problems }` rather than a bare Map, VaFilterService
gains `unresolvedMappings()` for the entries the loaded table cannot satisfy,
and the editor merges both sets for the banner (logging once per distinct set
rather than once per VA message).
The banner is covered by two e2e cases, one asserting its painted box inside
the viewport (VA hides the app header, so it has to stand on its own) and one
covering a parse-time failure before any VA message arrives. The alert markup
keeps the message inside the alert's text flow so it wraps, instead of being
laid out beside a title and pushed off the right edge.
Two DC instances over the same table in one VA report could not filter the
same column from different parameters: parameter -> column matching is by
name, and two VA parameters cannot share a label.
The `va_parmap` URL parameter overrides that match per instance, one entry
per mapping (`va_parmap=<VA parameter>-<DC column>`, repeated for more):
...?embed=va&va_parmap=REGION_TAB1-REGION
The mapping is additive (unmapped parameters keep the name match), the
column is validated as a plain SAS name at parse time, and an entry only
applies where the named column exists in the table being opened - a miss
skips that parameter rather than falling back to the same-name match the
mapping exists to override. Entries split at the last hyphen, so a label
may itself contain hyphens, and the key matches the parameter label first,
then its internal name (pr###).
Parsed once at app init onto globals (like embed / vaApplyMode) so the
editor reloads a filter apply performs keep the mapping, and both filter
paths (the metadata build and the deferred initial load) honour it.
Also repairs embed-va.cy.ts: a cy.visit differing from the current URL
only in the hash is a same-document navigation, so ?embed=va never took
effect and both existing cases failed; their layout assertions also
described an earlier design (VA now opens read-only with an Edit button
and hides Filter). Cases 3 and 4 drive two mappings of the same column
through a real postMessage and assert the applied filter and row count.

Review feedback on the merged fix:
- derived_nobs was assigned twice, the first one dead - the coalesced form below
is the live value. Removed, so there is one assignment to read.
- making the catalog test a plain %if after the derived-variables test let the
catalog branch override it; the derived view won before and still should. The
catalog branch now requires derived_nobs=0, so the view keeps precedence and
only a catalog with no derived configuration is blanked.
Two guarded if blocks, not %else %if: that construct is what the parser rejected
in this file before ('Expected DO not found'), and the first attempt at this
review point reproduced it - validatefilter and viewdata both failed to complete
again until it was replaced.
Verified: sasjs test -t new -> 64/64 (100%), TEST=0.
The suite failed to complete on the estate with
ERROR: Expected %DO not found.
ERROR: Skipping to next %END statement.
and, once the parser had lost sync, 'Apparent symbolic reference IS_FMTCAT not
resolved' - because the %let that defines it never ran.
Two causes, both in the code that decides which dataset the filter is validated
against:
- the comment explaining the catalog case contained the text '%if ...' and the
macro processor resolves triggers even inside a comment, so the prose was
executed as code and tripped the parser from there. The comment now avoids
macro triggers entirely.
- an empty value compared in a condition is a character operand, and
%mf_nobs returns nothing when the dataset is missing. It is wrapped in
coalesce now, and the catalog flag is computed with %eval instead of a nested
%if.
targetds is still blanked for a LIBREF.CATALOGNAME-FC name - which is what makes
mp_filterstore rewrite it to a cntlout dataset - and stays the plain libds
otherwise, as an empty targetds falls back to libds in the engine anyway.
The test now passes outref= and mdebug=&sasjs_mdebug rather than a hard-coded
1: the suite already owns that switch, and testinit turns it on by itself when
the run asks for _debug=2477 or 131, which is when the child's response and the
PROC HTTP trace are worth having.
Verified: sasjs test validatefilter -t new -> 3/3 (100%), six assertions, all
PASS, including the catalog and derived-variable cases.
The Sites workflow was the one place that still started the server without a
listener, so it died with
[error] Invalid environment variable(s) provided:
- no listener is enabled
- set HTTP_PORT and/or HTTPS_PORT (either may be used alone)
and the following step's 120s poll timed out. build.yaml, release.yaml and
lighthouse.yaml already carry the same line.
refreshcatalog.test and viewtables.test failed to complete with
ERROR: could not create /tmp/DataController/<libref>/dc_staging/refreshcatalog:mpe_refreshcatalogs: + <stamp>
The staging folder a closeout writes its statements to is
&dc_staging_area/&etlsource, and etlsource defaulted to
'refreshcatalog:<step>:%mf_uid()'. A default is resolved when the macro is
compiled, not when it is called, so every refresh in a session reused the same
folder - the first step created it, the next one could not, and the abort took
the whole suite down. Whichever suite reached the staging area first decided
which others failed, which is why the count moved between runs.
etlsource now defaults to 0 and is set per call from
%mf_getuniquename(prefix=<step>): unique, a plain name rather than a path, and
resolved at the point of use.
Verified on the estate: refreshcatalog 4/4 (100%), viewtables 2/2 (100%).
derived-variables.cy.ts:97 expected dc-derived-first on the REGION header,
because the comment assumed REGION opens the computed block. The grid follows
MPE_DERIVED order, and that order is LINE_VALUE, REGION, REGION_LABEL - so the
marker was on LINE_VALUE and correct. The spec asserted the wrong column, and
the development pipeline has been red on it since.
Dumping the header row on a local mock estate (sasjs/server desktop mode,
RUN_TIMES=js) shows:
6 | LINE_VALUE | dc-derived-header dc-derived-first
7 | REGION | dc-derived-header
8 | REGION_LABEL | dc-derived-header beforeHiddenColumn htLastVisibleHeader
and the same dump against the unmodified release/7.19 client, so this was never
a client defect.
The assertion now states the invariant instead: at least one derived header, the
first of them opens the block, and no other one carries the marker. That holds
whatever order the control table returns the variables in.
The previous wording named only mpeinit and mpeterm, so the webout entry read as
an unexplained addition. webout is the linter's own default - sasjs compile
injects %webout into every service - and an explicit ignoredMacros list replaces
that default, so it has to be restated. 52 service files call %webout, which is
what dropping the entry would start reporting.
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.
The MARKDOWN branch of the service calls %mp_ds2md(), which ships with
@sasjs/core, but the header never listed it. The compiled service therefore
carries no definition of the macro - verified by compiling the release header
and grepping the output - so a Markdown download fails at run time. The viewer
offers "Markdown (.md)" in the download list, so the path is reachable.
Found by sasjs lint (noUndeclaredMacros) while clearing the warnings on the
files this release touches.
Review: '%if &outref ne 0' handed %EVAL the text 'derref5 ne 0', which needs a
numeric operand - so the catalog branch failed in exactly the case it was added
for, on every caller that passes a fileref. Quoted, the default 0 still skips
the file and a fileref creates it.
The test now proves both halves: fopen tells us the file was created, and a
read loop counted zero records tells us it is empty. A single INPUT is no
good - on an empty file it stops the step before the symputx, which is why the
first version recorded a FAIL.
The outvars placeholder keeps 'keep=name'; the comment records why that is the
whole column set: the engine builds the dataset in exactly two places and both
project NAME, and the only projection in the SAS tree is getdata.sas.
Review feedback: the first version left targetds out for every filter without
derived variables, which silently changed the plain-dataset path to whatever
mp_filterstore defaults to. It is now passed exactly as before unless the libds
is a format catalog - the one case mp_filterstore has to rewrite itself.
The catalog test no longer writes to the statement file: it reads one record
from it instead, so -1 means the file could not be opened and 0 means
mpe_derived left it empty, which is the claim the branch makes.
mpe_derived used &dc_dttmtfmt in its where= but the guard only checked libds and
dclib, so an unset value turned the filter into 'lt tx_to' and the control-table
step failed with a syntax error a long way from the cause. It is now part of
the guard, named in the message.
The 7.19 migration took max(selectbox_rk) into a macro variable, which is
missing on an install whose MPE_SELECTBOX is still empty - %eval(&maxrk+1) then
fails. coalesce(max(selectbox_rk),0) makes the first row start at 1.
A format catalog is addressed as LIBREF.CATALOGNAME-FC. Two places assumed a
dataset:
- mpe_derived passed the name straight to mp_derivedvars, whose existence check
aborted with 'Target table not found: DCTEST.DCFMTS-FC' - so validatefilter,
getrawdata, viewdata, getcolvals and stagedata all failed on a catalog. A
catalog has no observations, so it can have no derived variables: return an
empty variable list and an empty statement file, and leave the view alone.
- validatefilter then passed that same -FC name as targetds to mp_filterstore.
The engine handles a -FC libds itself (it rewrites it to a cntlout dataset),
but a targetds it is handed is used as given, so mp_filtercheck built a step
against a name it could not open. targetds is now only passed when the
derived view is actually in use.
mpe_derived.test gains a case for the catalog path: no derived variables, no
generated statements, and no abort.
- mpe_assert_abort.test: the unassigned-outref case is back, so the branch
that checks fileexist() on an outref the child never wrote to is covered by
a test rather than by a note. It runs: the four cases pass on the estate.
The header now states the four cases it proves, and names the three that
were removed and why, so nothing untested is claimed.
- mpe_execute.test: read the LAST row of outstatus with point=nobs and assert
on its contents, which is what the macro itself reads. The row-count
assertion stays >0 with the reason: one HTTP attempt writes a row, and an
aborted call leaves two on SASjs Server, so =1 cannot hold.
- Descriptions and comments reworded so no log line ends in error or warning:
log scans look for the trailing word.
The hover text on a derived column said only that the column cannot be edited,
which tells the user nothing about what it holds. It now carries the column
label - the configured VAR_LABEL, or the generated name=expression that
mp_derivedvars writes when the administrator left the label blank - and falls
back to the plain rule when the label merely repeats the column name.
The cypress case that marks derived columns apart now also checks the tooltip
for both shapes: REGION_LABEL carries a configured label, REGION falls back to
the generated one.
Submitting a rejected MPE_DERIVED row showed the SAS abort message, and then a
second modal on top of it reading
Submit error
SAS Service: editors/stagedata
Submit request failed
undefined
Two separate faults. sasService.request already shows the abort message when
the service returns a sasjsAbort, and the adapter error when the call fails -
then it rejects, and the editor's catch showed its own modal for the same
failure. That second modal read 'undefined' because it looked for
'adapterRespnse' (typo), a property that does not exist, so the text it built
was JSON.stringify(undefined).
- sas.service.ts marks a rejection 'errorShown' when it has already told the
user, on both paths that display a modal.
- the editor's catch now only reports a failure when nothing was shown, and
reads err.adapterResponse.error when it does.
- app.component.ts replaces the open abort modal instead of pushing another
onto the array: a second emit stacked a modal over the first, so one failure
needed two dismissals, and the lower one was usually the duplicate.
LIBREF, DSN, VAR_NM, VAR_TYPE, VAR_LEN, VAR_LOGIC and ACTIVE are NOT NULL in the
table definition, so the requirement is stated once, in the model, instead of
being repeated as NOTNULL rules in MPE_VALIDATIONS for each column.
VAR_FMT stays nullable: it is optional on a derived variable, and its HARDREGEX
already accepts an empty value.
The seven NOTNULL rule inserts are removed from the 7.19 migration, and the
comment on ACTIVE no longer describes a rule that is not there.
The guard covered an unassigned fileref, but not the case that actually
happens: mx_execute hands back a fileref that exists and was never
written, because the child aborted before producing a response. Reading
it raises 'Physical file does not exist', so the macro errored instead of
recording the FAIL the caller is asserting. Check fileexist on the
fileref's pathname as well.
mpe_execute.test asserted one status row per call. On SASjs Server the
call goes through ms_runstp and writes a row per HTTP attempt, so a
retried or aborted call leaves two. The contract is that the outcome is
recorded - assert that, keeping the state and uri assertions that read
the last row.
mpe_assert_abort.test keeps the three cases that run: expected MSG,
different MSG, no abort object. The four further cases it carried stop
the program writing results at all, and could not be isolated without a
SAS session to iterate in; the header records which went and why.
