Timer Intermediate Event (Catching) Formula problem

[Enju]

Hello,
Formula scripts for Timer Intermediate Event (Catching) should return Date-Time value that's right?
I want stop the flow for the next working day (without Saturday and Sunday).
I got Status: failed. where is the mistake?

$daynumber = datetime\dayOfWeek(datetime\now());
ifThen($daynumber == 0 || $daynumber == 1 || $daynumber == 2 || $daynumber == 3 || $daynumber == 4,
datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), 1));
ifThen($daynumber == 5, datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), 3));
ifThen($daynumber == 6, datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), 2));

Hello,

The error may be in the logic of constructing the task itself and in the formula.
Please give more details about your Flowchart.

It looks like on the screen. I attached BPM .csv https://we.tl/t-IOFy87N7OD
Thank you for your interest.

Hi there,
Your formula returns error 500. Unfortunatelly I don't have Advanced Pack so far so I can't check this issue in EspoCRM log.
Could you do this:
1. Run your flowchart
2. Open the corespondent Process
3. Open the Timer Intermediate Event -> Click "Start flow from here" (see screenshot)
4. Provide an EspoCRM log file https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...ng/#check-logs

Hello Maximus, logs below:

Unfortunately it isn't to informative. Could you open the file /application/Espo/Modules/Advanced/Core/Bpmn/Elements/EventIntermediateTimerCatch.php and check what is defined on line 48?
Note: do not post any part of the code from this file or any other file relaited to paid extension. Also do not attach this file here.

I am not a programmer so I do not know if I will read it correctly. I think on line 48 an error is returned if variables do not satisfy the condition: !value || !is_string

[Maximus]

I think it is not working because it is not allowed to use such hard formula logic within the Timer Intermediate Event. It should be done with single directive e.g.:

datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), 1)

In order to apply more flexible logic you want you need to describe this logic in the Script Task and store the desired date value into a variable (in my case it is $step). Please take a look at the screenshots below to understend what I mean.
Please pay attantion I put $$ before 'step' in the Timer Intermediate Event regarding to this rule mentioned here https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...d-http-request

[Enju]

Maximus I did according to your advice, but now I get the error: Error 500:" function: datetime \ addDays, index: 2, should be: numeric "

[Maximus]

It seems it broadcasted the int value variable as a string. Please make sure you didn't wrap $$step into quotes as datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), '$$step').
In case it the variable wasn't wrapped, DEN could you try to reproduce this issue regarding my last example? Please try to figure out why it is not an integer value.

[Enju]

I didn't wrap $$step into quotes.

Hello,

I investigated this and got the same error.
Maybe bug.
I have already reported this to the development team, I'll keep you informed.

[Enju]

Hello,
some news?

It's not correct to use `$$variable` syntax in formula. It's not supported. Use `$variable`.
