Hello
I have created a custom ValueMeta plugin that is working great except for some small issues.
Any time I try to sort rows that contain this custom ValueMeta using the Preview Data tab, I get a null pointer exception.
I have mostly narrowed it down to this method in ValueMetaBase -
Since it is a custom ValueMeta the switch case falls through to default where the
is null.
I have Overrided
method in my ValueMeta plugin to handle this particular case.
This overrided method is never executed because of line @1293 in TableView:
sourceValueMeta is always String (everything is converted to string). and defaults to ValueMetaBase for conversions.
What can I do to fix these issues ?
Have I misunderstood
method's purpose .. ?
I would appreciate your input!
