Probably a stupid issue

I have what I am sure is a stupid programming issue. Can someone take a quick look:

logDebug "--${releaseNotesToDisplay}"
// The above prints [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-packagemanager/master/packageManifest.json:Fixed install by URL., https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SANdood/Ecobee-Suite/master/packageManifest.json:null]
logDebug "--${pkg}"
// The above prints https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-packagemanager/master/packageManifest.json
logDebug "--${releaseNotesToDisplay[pkg]}"

// The above prints null

How can that last like be null when the first two clearly indicate it exists in the map?

Perhaps try putting pkg in its own ${} rather than inside the got variable reference?

Oh, hang on, I see your not wanting to print them both, but see the position of pkg, or perhaps if it exists? Not sure if this is the case.

4

You may want to try "contains".

Strange... works for me. Had to create a simple test environment.

All I could think of is
ensure that releaseNotesToDisplay is a map and not a string and that pkg is a string
or is it something in your logDebug routine not translating it properly

When I run this,

def releaseNotesToDisplay = ["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-packagemanager/master/packageManifest.json":"Fixed install by URL.", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SANdood/Ecobee-Suite/master/packageManifest.json":null]
def pkg = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-packagemanager/master/packageManifest.json"
log.debug "--${releaseNotesToDisplay}"
log.debug "--${pkg}"
log.debug "--${releaseNotesToDisplay[pkg]}"

I get this output,

[debug](http://hubitat.localdomain/installedapp/configure/3680)--Fixed install by URL.

Its always something stupid. I've spent hours on an issue to only find a space I missed.

Bingo! It wasn't a string. This was a classic case of "I don't know how this ever worked" but it did at some point. Thanks!
