How to use And in test attribute of If tag in gel script

[Legacy User]

Hi All, I want to know how to implement multiple conditions( using AND , OR) in Core:if tag of Test attribute

 

Thanks

Use ampersand && to use AND condition and double pipes || to use OR condition.

 

<gel:script

     xmlns:core="jelly:core"

     xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary">

     <core:set var="color1" value="blue"/>

     <core:set var="color2" value="red"/>

     <core:if test="${color1 == 'blue' || color2 == 'notred'}">

          <gel:out>OR Condition works !</gel:out>

     </core:if>

     <core:if test="${color1 == 'blue' &amp;&amp; color2 == 'red'}">

          <gel:out>AND Condition works, too !</gel:out>

     </core:if>

 

</gel:script>

 

Output -

OR Condition works !

AND Condition works, too !

HaseebR what version of Clarity are you using?

 

In v14.2, any GEL core:if with an AND operator (escaped or not escaped) , produces the following error; even using your code.

 

ERRORBPM-0703: Custom script syntax error at line 33, column 40: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

 

Moreover after saving, in the Script textbox, the escaped &  is replaced by a non escaped &

I just tried in v15.2 following AND conditions work fine:

cond1  &#38;&#38; cond2

cond1  &amp;amp; cond2

However, previous conditions doesn't work in v14.2.0.237 011

Why make things complicated when the reply is simple:

 

<core:if test="${color1 == 'blue' and color2 == 'notred'}">

 

should work as well

thanks frean04

 

You're right,  "and" works fine in all versions

However, using caps (AND) it doesn't, after saving it gives some nice info.

 

Caused by: org.apache.commons.jexl.parser.ParseException: Encountered "AND" at line 1, column 6.
Was expecting one of:
    "||" ...
    "or" ...
    "&&" ...
    "and" ...
    ......

 

I miss a good and complete GEL/jelly documentation....
