Method thinks string is a list - not sure why

veryangryman

Enclosed at bottom of this are 2 methods that i call one by one. The string returned in the first is used as a parameter in the second.However i get the following error.It seems to think i am passing an array or list to the second method but i cant understand how?



No signature of method: static com.company.product.rv.operators.ImportOperator.runImport() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [LTEE119-V2x160-RV-FDD-LTE01_create.xml



public String listImportFiles(){

cliCommandHelper.openShell()

cliCommandHelper.execute

"ls /cloud_network_xmls/ | grep create | egrep \"this|that\""

String outputList = cliCommandHelper.getStdOut()

log.debug

"OutputList is $outputList"



return outputList

}





public boolean runImport(String filesList){

return false
}

Could you use the Code tags to warp your code and format it to make it easier to read? I assume this is Java?

Figured it out, the calling program called it by static object reference rather than variable name (a simple change of capital to small o for object fixed this)

e.g.

Object object = new Object();
Object.doThings()

Include the code that calls the methods.

Is there a static runImport method?

Sounds like a rookie mistake. This is why giving variables meaningful names as opposed to same name as class type is important. It could have helped avoid this.

Unrelated to thread question but why are you using shell commands to list files in a dir when this can be done via java itself ?
