Is it possible to add to the "Problems" view from a script?

Question

When running "Check Consistency" on a project, any found issues are added to the "Problems" view in medini. I'm writing a script file to perform additional validation on a project and I'd like the script to add to the Problems view instead of just printing text to the JavaScript console. Is this possible?

Thanks Marian, for jumping in, very much appreciated. THe classes and API is described in the 2025 R1 scripting guide in detail.

Happy Scripting indeed

Hi Erik,

the JS context now contains classes Issues & Issue.
further details are explained din the Jan's reply in the following article  Printing Model Validation Results onto Reports.

BY the fact that one can directly create and add Issue for the project simply means that now it in addition it is possible to script your own validation rules ( as an alternative to Dynamic Constraints) directly in the JS and also open the results in the problems view.

An example
If we want to have  validation rule that will check for Failures that are not part of any Failure-net tree ( no causes &  no effects):

OCL Dynamic constraint

inv:
--Failure is a common class for FailureMode,Error,Malfunction,....
let
-- variable to store message output , accesed by {1} in the Message text
 MessageArg1:OclAny = self.eContainer(),
in
--failure is not part of any Failure-net tree
--need to negate the boolean since the OCL is an invariant 
-- Check will be flagged if the expression result is evaluated to false
not (self.causedBy->isEmpty() and self.effects->notEmpty())

vs Javascript

/**
 * 
 * @param project = target medini project, if not supplied it will execute check on current project
 */
function validateNoFailureNet(project) {
 if ( project == undefined || project == null || !Metamodel.projectmodel.MediniProject.isInstance(project))
 project = finder.project;
 var ProjectIssues = Issues.forProject(project);
 var validationFailures = Global.getFinder(project).findByType(Metamodel.safetyModel.Failure)
 .toArray().filter(
 failure => failure.causedBy.isEmpty() && failure.effects.isEmpty()
 );
 if (validationFailures.length){
//create a "container" parent Issue for
 var newParentIssue = new Issue(Issue.INFO,project,"Scripted Validation:Failure has no associated Failure Net ","Please Review ",[]);
 newParentIssue.setConstraintId("FAILURE-WO-FNET");
 validationFailures.forEach(
 failure =>{ 
 var newIssue = new Issue(Issue.INFO,failure,"Failure of {1} has no associated Failure Net ","Please Review ",[failure.eContainer().label]);
 newIssue.setConstraintId("FAILURE-WO-FNET");
 newIssue.setParent(newParentIssue);
 ProjectIssues.addIssue(newIssue);
 });//forEach
 }
}

//MAIN body of the validation
validateNoFailureNet();
//.. vaildate others
Issues.forProject(finder.project).openProblemsView();

and once the script is executed you will find the Issues in the Problems view

Happy Validating,
Marian
