Method not found with invoke-static call [message #1778995]

I am trying to call an external static method using the invoke-static call. If I use it like this:

  	get-now | let [val now -input] {
	   	$now  | equals $testDate | verify-true
   	}

      ......
      proc "get-now" {
	invoke-static -pluginId "mypluginid"
				  -className "mypluginid.date.JDateUtils" 
				  -methodName getNow
     }

In my plugin, the method is defined like this:

    public static String getNow() {
        return formatDateTime(DateTime.now());
    }

This works, the date string is returned. If I try another method from the same plugin that uses arguments I get a "Method not found" error. Here's an example:

   	get-now-plus-days "-7" | let [val date -input] {
	   	$date  | equals $testDate | verify-true
   	}

      ......
      proc "get-now-plus-days" [val days] {
          invoke-static -pluginId "mypluginid"
				  -className "mypluginid.date.JDateUtils" 
				  -methodName getNowPlusDays
				  -args $days

This static method is defined as:

    public static String getNowPlusDays(String days) {
        DateTime date = DateTime.now().plusDays(Integer.valueOf(days));
        
        return formatDateTime(date);
    }

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bruce,

Could you show how 'days' variable is declared?
Maybe the problem is that 'days' variable has 'int' type. In this case you can try to declare it like this:

global [val days [str "20"]]

Or use integer input argument in your method.

Viktoria, thanks for your reply. I changed the API to use an integer parameter instead of a string and it works.

Further to this issue, I've added a new procedure which uses a string and int parameter. It should add a number of days to a given reference date:

proc "get-add-days" [val referenceDate] [val days] {
	invoke-static -pluginId "my.plugin"
				  -className "my.plugin.date.JDateUtils" 
				  -methodName "addDays"
				  -args $referenceDate -args $days

Here is the plugin method:

    public static String addDays(String referenceDate, int days) {
        DateTime date = getDateTime(referenceDate).plusDays(days);
        
        return formatDateTime(date);
    }

Calling this method from a script like this :

global [val refDate "10-Jan-2004"]

let [val date [get-add-days $refDate 5]] {
	log -message $date
}

Results in the error:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
at invoke-static (/Test Common/CTX_DateProcs.ctx:6)

Try to remove the second '-args' attribute name, like this:

proc "get-add-days" [val referenceDate] [val days] {
	invoke-static -pluginId "my.plugin"
				  -className "my.plugin.date.JDateUtils" 
				  -methodName "addDays"
				  -args $referenceDate $days

Tried that, get the following:

Syntax error on line 9, col 27
at Syntax error (/Test Common/CTX_DateProcs.ctx:9)

Line 9 is the -args line.

Could you readd second '-args' attribute name and paste full exception you get?

Here is the message:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
	at invoke-static (/Test Common/CTX_DateProcs.ctx:6)
	at get-add-days (/Test Common/Library Tests/Date Tests.test:27)

And here is the code making the calls:

let [val date [get-add-days $refDate 5]] {
	log -message $date
}

proc "get-add-days" [val referenceDate] [val days] {
	invoke-static -pluginId "au.com.morgans.rcp.core"
				  -className "au.com.morgans.rcp.core.date.JDateUtils" 
				  -methodName "addDays"
				  -args $referenceDate -args $days
}

and finally, the java code:

    public static String addDays(String referenceDate, int days) {
        DateTime date = getDateTime(referenceDate).plusDays(days);
        
        return formatDateTime(date);
    }

Seems a NullPointerException occurs in your code. Try to debug your method step-by-step.
Maybe getDateTime() method can return null or an NPE occurs in other methods.

You were right Viktoria, the string I was passing was in the wrong format, causing an exception. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks very much for your help.
