When zero is one

Jesse and all,

Why doesn RT::System::id return 1 when in the Groups table all
the Role groups for the RT::System Domain have Instance set to 1?

This bit me because I was building an ACL query (as Jesse mentioned)
and I needed the principal Id for the correct role account.

This seems to be the one case where the object id and the instance
are not the same.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

sub _RealPrincipal {
my $self = shift;

my %args = @_;
#get the real principal
my $groups = RT::Groups->new($RT::SystemUser);
$groups->Limit(FIELD => 'Domain',   VALUE => ref($args{Object}) . '-Role' );
$groups->Limit(FIELD => 'Instance', VALUE => $args{Object}->id );
$groups->Limit(FIELD => 'Type',     VALUE => $self->{Role} );

if ($groups->Count) {
    return $groups->First->PrincipalObj;
}
else {
    $RT::Logger->debug("No group found for Domain: " . ref($args{Object}) . '-Role Instance: ' . $args{Object}->id . ' Type: ' . $self->{Role});
}
return;

}

Jesse and all,

Why doesn RT::System::id return 1 when in the Groups table all

What I mean to say is, why does RT::System::id return 1 when in the Groups
table all the Role groups for the RT::System Domain have Instance set to 0?

‘Bad design’
It should get fixed, but probably for 3.7.

I think 1 is the right value longterm as a 0 value can be confused for an empty value rather easily.

And what will the Instance for the General queue become?

I worked around it with:

ref($object) =~ /::System$/ ? 0 : $object->id;On Thu, Oct 13, 2005 at 08:27:00PM -0400, Jesse Vincent wrote:

Why would it change from 1?

I thought Instance was basically the Object Id.
The role Groups for the General queue have Instance = 1;

Right. I don’t see the problem.

Nevermind. Obviously the Domain would be different, so no problem…
