How can I check the presence of specific components in the project using the sil script?

[Helen Porter]

Hi,

We need to develop functionality for creating components in projects using the sil script.
To do this, we will use the routine: admAddProjectComponent ()

But to do this, you need to check for the presence of certain components in the project. How can I make a check also via the sil script?

Correct! I believe that admGetProjectComponent should not work like this. Anyway do not check if component exists or not. Just use 

admAddProjectComponent("VTBTOP", "TEST", "Verify the addition of components.", "",0);

If such a component exists it will not create a new one.

Yes, everything worked out.
Thank you very much!

@Alexey Matveev ,

I try to execute the script in your example, but it gives an error:

Exception while executing SIL program >>null<<: [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 14] Project component is null!

Script:

if(isNotNull(admGetProjectComponent("VTBTOP", "TEST"))){
admAddProjectComponent("VTBTOP", "TEST", "Verify the addition of components.", "",0);
}

What could be the mistake?

Hello @Helen Porter ,

You can use admGetProjectComponent:

Hello @Alexey Matveev ,

Thank you!
But I don’t understand how to write a condition to search for a specific component? For example, we need to check for the presence of a component called Test in the JIRASUPP project.
How to make a condition for the design:
if( ){

}

?

@Helen Porter 

if (IsNotNull(admGetProjectComponent("JIRASUPP", "Test"))) {

...

}

@Alexey Matveev ,

I try to execute the script in your example, but it gives an error:

Exception while executing SIL program >>null<<: [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 11] Project component is null!

Script:

if(isNull(admGetProjectComponent("VTBTOP", "TEST"))){
 admAddProjectComponent("VTBTOP", "TEST", "Verify the addition of components.", "",0);
}

What could be the mistake?
