This module contains functions that allow you to interact with the DataWeave engine.

To use this module, you must import it to your DataWeave code, for example, by adding the line import * from dw::Runtime to the header of your DataWeave script.

Functions

fail

fail(String): Nothing

Throws an exception with the specified message.

Parameters
Name Description

message

An error message (String).

Example

This example returns a failure message Data was empty because the expression (sizeOf(myVar) <= 0) is true. A shortened version of the error message is shown in the Output section below.

failIf

failIf(T, (value: T) → Boolean, String): T

Produces an error with the specified message if the expression in the evaluator returns true, otherwise returns the value.

Parameters
Name Description

value

The value to return only if the evaluator expression is false.

evaluator

Expression that returns true or false.

Example

This example produces a runtime error (instead of a SUCCESS message) because the expression isEmpty(result) is true. It is true because an empty object is passed through variable result.

locationString

locationString(Any): String

Returns the location string of a given value.

Parameters
Name Description

orElse

orElse(TryResult<T>, () → R): T | R

Returns the result of the orElse if the previous try result failed if not returns the result of the previous

Since Version: 2.2.0

Parameters
Name Description

previous

Previous try result

orElse

try

try(() → T): TryResult<T>

Evaluates the delegate function and returns an object with the result or an error message.

Parameters
Name Description

wait

wait(T, Number): T

Stops the execution for the specified timeout (in milliseconds).

Warning
Stopping the execution will block the thread used, potentially causing slowness, low performance and potentially freezes of the entire runtime. This operation is intented for limited functional testing purposes and should not be used in production application, performance testing or with multiple applications deployed.
Parameters
Name Description

value

Input of any type.

timeout

The number of milliseconds to wait.

Example

This example waits 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) to execute.

Types

TryResult

Object with a result or error message. If success is false, it contains the error. If true, it provides the result.
