Tip: If you use integers property sheets labels

I found that /javascript does not work with integer-labeled property sheets. So the following fails:

ectool expandString '$[/javascript myProject.Tickets.1002.Description]' --jobId 1209
ectool error [ScriptError]: JavaScript error: 'missing ; before statement' at line 1, column 24 near 'myProject.Tickets.1002.Description'
    Details:
    JavaScript error: 'missing ; before statement' at line 1, column 24 near 'myProject.Tickets.1002.Description'

But if you relabel the property sheet, it works:

ectool expandString '$[/javascript myProject.Tickets.rem1002.Description]' --jobId 1209

I wish I thought of this earlier; there is a nice workaround, using the getProperty function:


ectool expandString '$[/javascript getProperty("/myProject/Tickets/1002/Description")]' --jobId 1209

Although, I don't think it helps in this instance, I would highly recommend using [] syntax over . or / /javascript myProject["Tickets"]["rem1002"]["Description"] and /myProject[Tickets][1002][Description] They handle escaping more cleanly.

Thanks for the tip; it works for the non-integer labels. As you suspected, it didn't help for the integer labels.
