Re: [tracecompass-dev] Trace filters not working in Eclipse Oxygen relea

I thought this problem went away, since suddenly filters seemed to start working for me after my last email. However, today the problem came back, and I realize now that it may be related to how I create the filter.

If I create a filter where the immediate child under the filter node in the filter view is a MATCHES operator, where I have to still specify a type and an aspect as part of that node, then the filter works correctly. Also, the breakpoint you suggested at TmfFilterNode#matches hits and sometimes returns true and other times false, which makes sense since not every row matches the field value I specified in the filter.

If I create a filter where the immediate child under the filter node is a TRACETYPE operator, where I specify the same type and aspect, and then a MATCHES node as a child of the TRACETYPE node with the same match value text (which should result in the same matching rows), then the filter result is zero rows match, and the breakpoint at TmfFilterNode#matches never hits at all.

I have my own trace type for the trace generated by my plugin, and when I select that, I get a dropdown list of aspect names to pick from that looks correct.

I'm not sure now which method I used to create working filters using the Neon release last year, and don't know if my second sequence to create a filter ever worked.

Could you try using a breakpoint on "TmfFilterNode#matches", that is
where the meat of the filters resides.
