I have two workflow foundation (.NET 3.5 SP 1) application which compiles fine. It has two declarative rule conditions in it. Both are very simple, examples:
- !this.Shutdown
- this.Runtime == null
The project builds correctly without error or warning, however when I run the application it fails with the exception: error 1342: Activity 'whileNotShutdown' validation failed: Can not find the condition "Shutdown not requested".
In the other application I am using a more complex ruleset in policy which generates the following exception: error 1398: Activity 'Defaults' validation failed: Can not find the rule set "Rule Set1". Check if rule set is defined in the rules file.
I have tried removing the .rules file and recreating it by recreating the two rules and that did not help.
The question is: What is wrong that is causing this error?
Some things I have tried:
Placing the workflow rules in the larger workflow makes no difference to the issue.
The issue is effecting all workflows in the solution now (even those that used to work).
Using a code rule condition doesn't have the same problem - the issue is related to the rules file somehow.
Rebuilding workflow didn't help
Declarative workflow rules are not checked by the compiler so there is no help there. When you reference 'this' in rule it means the workflow. So your properties Shutdown and Runtime must be declared at the workflow level. I presume the Runtime refers to the WorkflowRuntime and that is kind of unusual, and not recommended, to have inside of your workflow so there may be a design issue here.
Eventually found the cause - it was caused by spaces in the class name, which causes the rules file to have spaces in it, which seems to cause the issue.
For example this will cause the error:

I am trying to add an accelerator to the rocket chip framework through the MMIO peripheral. I went through the GCD example and was able to build the basic GCD code. I then replaced the GCD with an accelerator which has it's own Config, Parameters and Field information. Now when I try to pass this information to the rocket chip there is a name clash with the freechips.rocketchip.config.{Parameters, Field, Config}. I tried specifying the whole path i.e; accelerator.util.conig.Parameters to distinguish it from freechips.rocketchip.config.Parameters but it still gave me the same error. When I remove my accelerator configs and parameters and pass simple hand made parameters the build is successful, however, when I add my config I get %Error-TIMESCALEMOD and this error is in the generated file which I am not modifying. I tried a work around by altering my verilator options but that goes down a rabbit hole of errors. I have narrowed down the problem to the fact that this is being caused because I am using two different configs both of which have their own Config.scala file shown here Is there a way to fix this problem? I have attached the error with this question.
The problem was with a blackbox, not sure why it was giving me that error, but yes we can mix two different configs having different util.config files. We just have to specify them explicitly.
I have four rule files and two of them are problematic. When I remove those two, drools runs fine. But with those two rule files, I am always getting the above mentioned exception.
I have kept one of those problematic files in this location : http://www.mediafire.com/file/6xsm8ilxysmyq3i/rulefile.drl. It is auto generated, and I am pretty sure it is an instant turn-off. It is difficult to check each and every line, so I was asking for suggestion what should I check to get a hint about the KieModule exception.
The other two files, with which all runs smooth, are of same structure, except probably they are smaller. So I am almost out of clue.
Any help is appreciated.
no errors are shown in eclipse editor.
Can a syntactically correct rule throw 'Cannot find KieModule' exception upon firing ? In my case, as per the editor, the rule does not have syntactical error.
This exception occurs when drools compiler cannot able to find the kieModule in the rule engine. Check if there is a file as src\main\resources\META-INF\kmodule.xml in your project file directory. If it is not there then create it. For more details read this.
the context of the problem is like this: we create workflows, we save it and after a while a new implementation request comes and we change an activity. After this the workflow instances that were saved cannot run anymore. We get this error:
StateMachine Error : Cannot convert object 'True' to type 'System.String'.
It seems that the new argument added brakes the serialization order?
You'll have to implement Dynamic Update in some fashion.
We are currently in the process of getting some infrastructure set up to update existing instances, and having lots of issues. Hopefully your scenario is easier to solve than ours!

Word of caution: I've found various issues with Microsoft's provided code that required a lot of investigation to fix.
I am trying to adapt the pytest tool so that it can be used in my testing environment, which requires that precise test report are produced and stored. The tests report are in xml format.
So far I have succeeded in creating a new plugin which produces the xml I want, at one exception :
I need to register in my xml report the passed assertion, with the associated code if possible. I couldn't find a way to do so.
The only possibility approaching is to overload pytest_assertrepr_compare im py pytest plugin, but it is called only on assertion failure, not on passed assertion.
Any idea to do so ?
Thank for the help!

I think this is basically impossible without changing the assertion re-writing itself. py.test does not see things happening on an assert-level of detail, it just executes the test function and it either returns a value (ignored) or raises an exception. In the case where it raises an exception it then inspects the exception information in order to provide a nice failure message.
The assertion re-writing logic simply replaces the assert statement with an if not <assert_expr>: create_detailed_assertion_info. I guess in theory it is possible to extend the assertion rewriting so that it would call hooks on both passing and failure of the <assert_expr>, but that would be a new feature.
Not sure if I understand your requirements exactly, but another approach is to produce a text/xml file with the expected results of your processing: The first time your run the test, you inspect the file manually to ensure it is correct and store it with the test. Further test runs will then produce a similar file and compare it with the former, failing if they don't match (optionally producing a diff for easier diagnosing).
The pytest-regtest plugin uses a similar approach by capturing the output from test functions and comparing that with former runs.
We have a long running workflow which uses SQL tracking service (.Net WF 4.0). In the next update, we would like to introuduce a public property in one of the arguments of the workflow. Since this is breaking change, the persisted workflow inatances throw the following error on re-loading:
System.Runtime.DurableInstancing.InstancePersistenceCommandException: The execution of the InstancePersistenceCommand named .. LoadWorkflow was interrupted by an error.
InnerException: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: 'Element' '_x003C_BookmarkName_x003E_k__BackingField' from namespace '...' is not expected. Expecting element '....'
I understand this is a typical versioning issue and one of the recommendations I noticed on some of the sites is to override OnActivityExecutionContextLoad method and fill in the missing values. But I am not sure where and how to do this! OnActivityExecutionContextLoad is declared in System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity (.Net 3.5?) whereas what we have is a code-based top-level custom activity derived from System.Activities.NativeActivity (which receives the argument in question). Can something be done in this class to initialize the missing property of the argument?
All suggestions are welcome :)
