Smart value for text to number using asNumber does not work

Zhengguan Li

I have defined a rule to draft next release by incrementing the patching number by 1, the smart value I use is the following. I tested by releasing "test: 0.0.1", however it generate "test: 0.0.". Looks like asNumber does not work for me...

{{version.name.substringAfterLast(".").asNumber.plus(1)}}

Hi @Zhengguan Li and Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I tested it, and I'm getting success in automation. Can you provide more information and screenshots related to automation?

Hi @Zhengguan Li -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please try using the straight versus the curly quotation marks to help that expression parse correctly:

{{version.name.substringAfterLast(".").asNumber.plus(1)}}

If that does not work, I suggest building your expression piece by piece until it fails. That will explain the problem. For example, first write just the version name to the log. Then add the substring function, and so on.

Kind regards,
Bill

I am using straight, when I pasted it, somehow it changed, I tried to build piece by piece, it can only work till asNumber

Zhengguan Li

It can get 1, but the rest are empty

Thanks for quick reply, I attached the screenshot in Bill's thread

Hi @Zhengguan Li and thanks for your screenshot.

can you try this smart value please?

{{version.name.substringBeforeLast(".")}}.{{version.name.substringAfterLast(".").asNumber.plus(1)}}

Best,

Would you please clarify how you want to increment the version number? That will help the community to make better suggestions to help. Thanks!

For example...

You initially described wanting to increment the version name "test 0.0.1". And it appears you want to increment only the last digit to 2, leading to a new version of "test 0.0.2".

To do that, please try splitting the value into the two parts: value before the last digit and the last digit...and then concatenating the results. That would be this:

{{version.name.substringBeforeLast(".").concat(".")}}{{version.name.substringAfterLast(".").asNumber.plus(1)}}

Please note this handles only the case of incrementing the last digit after the final period, does not handle errors, and cannot increment the other digits.

Also note: the smart value expression I show appears to be on two lines, but it is not. That is just the text wrapping in the community posts.

Zhengguan Li

This is exactly what have, I did not post initially because I think the problem was the latter expression. The last part result is always nothing. I also tried @Bill Sheboy solution using `concat`, but no luck...

Zhengguan Li

I guess it just does not work, it would say forget about it for now...
