[rules-users] is null or is not Null failing for a String field check in Guvnor drl

[puja nandamuri]

Michael,
Thanks. Yes, I am using 5.2.0.CR1.I do not have a choice to move to 5.3 at this point.
as an alternate, I am using the following work around.
to be able to do 'is null'  or 'is not null'  for checking null condition on a field,
I select 'equal to'  as the operator and then, I click on the function button  instead  of literal value .
In the text box that comes up, I enter null  
Doing this validates the condition successfully and I am able to run the test scenario successfully .similarly, I select 'not equal to' operator for checking is not null condition and then in the function text box, I enter null.

It was a bug but was fixed a while ago.

I can't recall if it made 5.2 - but it definately doesn't exist in 5.3.0.CR1 (or master branch as of today - I just checked).

Hi ,

when using a business rule guided editor ,


for a fact, when I select a string type field from the drl guided editor in Guvnor  and select 
 is null from the dropdown list of operators,

I get the following validation error when I do a validate on the rule.


no viable alternative at input 'null' in rule "Asset_Description_NullCheckRule"

when I do a View Source, it shows the source as 

when
            Asset( description == null null ) 


Is this a bug ? 

if I select the free form drl option and create the when condition as

 Asset( description == null ) , it validates fine.

Thanks,

Ram
