DXL error not undestood :DXL: <D:\XXXX.dxl:1234> Un module en cours est requis pour lopération => US traduction = operation requires a current module

I have following error message : DEBUG: isBaseline(spec_produit) = true -R-E- DXL: <D:\XXXX.dxl:1234> Un module en cours est requis pour lopération US traduction = operation requires a current module

line 1234 is the following : print "DEBUG: baseline loaded for " name(module_in_database) " = " major(baseline_open) "." minor(baseline_open) suffix(baseline_open) "\n"

With : baseline_open = baselineInfo(module_in_database) (=true)

I don't understand why I have this message as I already use this kind of coding elsewhere with success.

Here I have the message in a loop that I use to detect if I have still open module after having close all open modules (I don't know why I still have open module but it is another subject)

the loop is :

 // display list of open module at then end of the script
    for module_in_database in database do 
    {   
        logResult = logResult "INFO: open modules at the end the script are " fullName(module_in_database) "\n"
        // display more information on open modules : (DEBUG) :
        print "DEBUG: isBaseline(" name(module_in_database) ") = " isBaseline(module_in_database) "\n"
        baseline_open =  baselineInfo(module_in_database)
        if (baseline_open != null) {
            print "DEBUG: baseline loaded for" name(module_in_database) " = " major(baseline_open) "." minor(baseline_open) suffix(baseline_open) "\n"
        } else {
            print "DEBUG: " name(module_in_database) " = CURRENT \n"
        }
    }

Solution

Version 1:

Module module_in_database
Baseline baseline_open
string logResult = ""

// display list of open module at then end of the script
for module_in_database in database do 
{   
    logResult = logResult "INFO: open modules at the end the script are " fullName(module_in_database) "\n"
    if type (module_in_database) == "Formal" then {
        // display more information on open modules : (DEBUG) :
        print "DEBUG: isBaseline(" name(module_in_database) ") = " isBaseline(module_in_database) "\n"
        baseline_open =  baselineInfo(module_in_database)
        if (baseline_open != null) {
            current = module_in_database  // <------ set current module so that the next line works!
            print "DEBUG: baseline loaded for" name(module_in_database) " = " major(baseline_open) "." minor(baseline_open) suffix(baseline_open) "\n"
        } else {
            print "DEBUG: " name(module_in_database) " = CURRENT \n"
        }
    } else {
        print fullName(module_in_database) " is a Link Module. No baselineInfo available\n"
    }
}

Version 2:

Module module_in_database
Baseline baseline_open
string logResult = ""
ModuleVersion mv
string version_string

// display list of open module at then end of the script
for module_in_database in database do 
{   
    logResult = logResult "INFO: open modules at the end the script are " fullName(module_in_database) "\n"
    if type (module_in_database) == "Formal" then {
        // display more information on open modules : (DEBUG) :
        print "DEBUG: isBaseline(" name(module_in_database) ") = " isBaseline(module_in_database) "\n"
        mv = moduleVersion (module_in_database)
        version_string = versionString (mv) // <---- don't use "major" and "minor", instead use version_string, which does not require a "current" module
        if (version_string != "") {
            print "DEBUG: baseline loaded for" name(module_in_database) " = " version_string "\n"
        } else {
            print "DEBUG: " name(module_in_database) " = CURRENT \n"
        }
    } else {
        print fullName(module_in_database) " is a Link Module. No baselineInfo available\n"
    }
}

P.S: Having read through our thread again, I think that the misunderstanding stems from DOORS' inconsistency when naming things. a "current version" is a Module which is not a baseline. A "current module" in DOORS-speak is a module version that is "the one '''module''' that the user currently interacts with". When you have opened five windows with modules (either current version or baselines or link modules), only one of these windows is at the front - only one of these windows catches your keyboard input - and that window contains the "current" Module. If you have a one-liner like print fullName (current Module) and you open the database explorer (main window), click on Tools->Edit DXL… and paste the code, it will complain that no Module is current. if you then click on one window and in this window click on Tools->Edit DXL…, you will get the SAME DXL window, but now the code will run, because now DOORS knows which Module is the one that you mean when you say fullName (current Module).

Unfortunately, that's still not correctly said: the current Module is not directly related to the window at the front - you might even have opened Modules invisibly. And using DXL you can say "this invisible Module is the current one" although there is a window at the front showing a different Module.

It's complicated but I hope that I explained it correctly now.
