tfilelist: Issues with using context in autonomous script

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:11:09 GMT

hi everyone!
I'm looking for solving a problem I have with using context in tfilelist for an autonomous job.
I have done a job which is starting with
tmsgbox-->onsubjob ok-->tjava-->on subjob ok-->tfilelist_1

In msgbox I've chosen options "question" and "icone question" (french version)
in tjava I put:
context.repertoire_de_travail =(String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT");
in tfilelist I put context.repertoire_de_travail in directory textline

So it should open a messagebox, ask a question and user just have to enter the file directory and everything is running well. But user put

"H:/MES_ROUTINES" in msgbox there is a null pointer exception.
The directory path is ok without using context or using a context in the contextbox... but entering the path in msgbox does not work...
i've tried with " / or\ but does not work anyway...
Any Idea how i should write it?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
I created a simple job following your details and it worked fine. Are you sure the error is happening in this part of your job?
I tried even with non-existing folder, backslash, forwardslash, any different combinations.
Would it be possible for you to take some screenshots and attach here?
Regards,
Thiago

Maybe it's too obvious, but is your tMsgBox tMsgBox_1? Have you tried printing the result:
System.out.println((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT"));

Hi Guys,
I 'm very new to Talend.
I was checking on the tFileList component, where in i can mention the files in a directory.
I have mentioned the Directory path and also mentioned the format as ".csv".
But when i move to next step, that is, component properties of tInputFileDelimited, Talend should present all the global variables which we can use.
I read in some pages that i have to press Ctrl + space bar to get the list .
I m not able to get that. Is there any other way out?

Check your hot key for your input. Something might occupy the "space".
