[EPL] Strange onmatch/nomatch behavior [message #1075295]

Hi!

I'm facing a strange behavior regarding the RepeatWhileMatches==true option with a infinite (or large) amount of loops.

pattern MyPattern
   some roles here ...
   
   match {
      if(something) return true;
      return false;
   }
   
   onmatch { ... }
   nomatch { ... }

Now If "something" is not fulfilled I'm going to the nomatch part directly and create there some other object "O". Then another pattern which is precedent to "MyPattern" and shall handle the newly create object "O" is not analyzed any more!
However if I interchange onmatch and nomatch, it works as expected: the precedent pattern to MyPattern is called once more on "O". Semantically I see no difference in interchanging onmatch and nomatch regarding the RepeatWhileMatches option.

   match {
      if(not something) return false;
      return true;
   }
   
   onmatch { ... }
   nomatch { ... }

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

I'm not sure I fully understand the nature of the issue you're describing. Could you please put together a minimal example I can use to reproduce this?

Cheers,
Dimitris
