Bmue Prism version 7__Expression is invalid

SaharSalehi — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 13:18:00 GMT

How could it be possible to have an error while others with the same code have no error?

Now()+ MakeTimeSpan(0,0,5,0)

The following error has occurred:
Your expression does not appear to be valid:

Could not convert '0,000,500,0' into a number

Thank you!

Hi Sahar - as crazy as this sounds, can you try again with spaces on both sides of the commas, ie MakeTimeSpan(0 , 0 , 5 , 0)

I've had a similar sounding issue where an expression was being parsed strangely, and I think it was due to the locale/number/regional/language Windows settings of the machine. I'm struggling to remember exactly what it was unfortunately, but try comparing how a 'good' and 'bad' machine is set up.

Hello,

What is the format of the data item? When I changed it to Datetime, no error occurred:

I have been struggling for hours trying to find a solution to this issue.
Adding a space on either side of the commas worked.

Why are inputs not parsed before hand!?
Instead I had to spend hours reading forum posts to find the answer!

It's reasons like the above that I would not recommend Blue Prism to other developers..
Get your house in order.
