[rules-users] Guvnor does not like my rule?

[Perrin John - jperri]

Noob alert, first post.



I have a rule that works fine when I run it in a JUnit test.  I've imported it into Guvnor (along with all my referenced pojos and functions) and it will not build there.  Here is the error:



Unable to Analyse Expression for (String curr : (List<String>) $validList) { ValidValue aValidVal = new ValidValue(curr); drools.insert(aValidVal); }; for (int i=0; i<$validList.size(); i++) { String curr = (String)$validList.get(i); ValidValue aValidVal = new ValidValue(curr); drools.insert(aValidVal); };: [Error: unexpected token: $validList] [Near : {... rr : (List<String>) $validList) { ....}] ^ [Line: 1, Column: 35]



What the rules is trying to do is run values from a set of records through a validation function and then add each of the valid values as individual facts.  Guvnor apparently doesn't like the way the iteration of the list is being done.  I've tried a few different ways of iteration.  Thanks in advance for any advice.



Here is the rule:



               when

                              $validList : List()

                                             from accumulate(

                                                            InRecord($value : value != ""),

                                                                           ListValid($value))

               then

                              for (String curr : (List<String>) $validList) {

                                             ValidValue aValidVal = new ValidValue(curr);

                                             insert(aValidVal);

                              }

                              for (int i=0; i<$validList.size(); i++) {

                                             String curr = (String)$validList.get(i);

                                             ValidValue aValidVal = new ValidValue(curr);

                                             insert(aValidVal);

                              }
