Using Enum in Derived Query Repo not working.

[bytor99999]

Here is my enum

public enum EventVisibility {
    PUBLIC,
    PUBLIC_INVITE_ONLY,
    SEMI_PRIVATE,
    PRIVATE
}

It is used for a visibility property of my Event domain object.

private EventVisibility visibility = EventVisibility.PUBLIC;

I am able to save Events and it saves the Visibility, but when I try to use it in a derived repo query, it doesn't work. Anything I am missing here.

This is my interface method of my EventRepository

public Page<Event> findByVisibility(EventVisibility visibility, Pageable page);

I would think it would work automatically.

Thanks Mark

Wht store are you working with? What does "not working" actually mean? Exception?

[bytor99999]

I wasn't seeing an exception logged, but stepping through the code it looks like it was expecting my enum to be a Node or a Relationship, when it is not.

type="EventVisibility" and this is what it was about to throw.

InvalidEntityTypeException("Type " + type + " is neither a @NodeEntity nor a @RelationshipEntity");

maybe the name of the interface method is incorrect, I thought if you did findBy{variable name} would do the trick of returning.

Thanks

It should just work and this looks like a bug. "Just works" means it should return data and not throw an exception.

Thanks

I looked into it, it would need to apply the same conversions to non-basic query parameters as it would do on properties. Right now to work around this could you pass in Enum.name() (aka a String or another primitive value) to the derived finder method?

Thanks a lot

Yes, I was thinking I could do that workaround till the next release with the fix.

Thanks for looking into it.
