Checkin Trigger Script: snapshot['metadata'] is null (although it shouldn't)

[stefanovilla]

Hello there,
I've been trying to use checkin triggers but I run into the following problem.

Although snapshot's 'metadata' information is set at 'checkin' time (and properly displayed when, later on, I access to the DB), it become 'Null' when I read the snapshot data as they became available within the trigger script:

As a matter of fact, in the trigger script, when I access to input['snapshot'] or input['update_data'] (which is the same thing), the 'metadata' content is empty!!

Is there a way to have 'metadata' field properly set when trigger script is executed?
Or, is there any other way to pass arguments at 'checkin' time (i.e.: simple_checkin()) so that they are available when the trigger script is executed?

Many thanks, regards,
Stefano

Is there something like input['kwagrs'] ?
You cold print all the input data to the console in the dev mode

Hi Stefano,
are you referring to the metadata field in the SObject? How do you fill in the filed at checkin time?

Hello there,
many thanks for you answers and sorry for the late reply,
I've ended up solving the issue by slightly modifying few methods: 'metadata', already argument of 'directory_checkin', is propagate to the creation of the snapshot.
As a matter of fact although 'metadata' argument makes its way to 'simple_checkin' it still needed to be passed along to FileCheckin.create_snapshot(...) method and from there to Snapshot.create() where it would be finally placed within the snapshot object (snapshot.set_value("metadata", metadata ))..
Doing so, data placed within the 'metadata' argument when *_checkin() is called it will be already available when the trigger is caught.
Many thanks, regards,
Stefano
