Hi there. I'm working on improving my filtering for series matches. My ideal filter would be this:

* prefer matches from the past 30 days
* if there is no match from the past 30 days, allow older matches
* if the age is null for some reason, allow it to be the match

This is my current filter:

Code: Select all

'age < 30 || !model.any{ it.age < 30 && it.age != null }'

The reason that I added the check for null is because `null < 30` evaluates to true, and I ran into a query from TheMovieDB with results that have a null age.

It's unfortunate that the data from the API is off, but I'd like to be able to include entries with null ages if we are falling back because the age < 30 check failed.

As far as I can tell, if the age is null, evaluating it causes it to not be included in the possible matches.

For example

Code: Select all

filebot -rename The.Legend.of.Korra.S04E04.The.Calling.1080p.WEB-DL-Obfuscated/ --action TEST --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict --filter 'true'

results in

So my question is:

Is there a way to allow entries with a null age to be included in the possible matches if the first < conditional check returns false?

Posted: **15 Jul 2020, 04:49**

While null < 1 indeed returns true, top-level bindings such as {age} never return null, instead they will throw:
viewtopic.php?t=1895

e.g. if age is undefined then throw and fail, which --filter will interpret as false:

Code: Select all

age < 30

e.g. catch the error case, and default to true:

Code: Select all

any{ age < 30 }{ true }

{age} as top-level binding indeed behaves differently from {model.age} where the .age property may be null for individual items.

Posted: **15 Jul 2020, 05:21**

Ah interesting. I ended up swapping the condition to short-circuit the top-level age binding

Code: Select all

!model.any{ it.age < 30 && it.age != null } || age < 30

but this is probably more explicit. The fall-through behavior is slick.

Code: Select all

any{ age < 30 }{ true } || !model.any{ it.age < 30 && it.age != null }

Thanks for the tip!
