fix(tapis): tolerate empty-string parameter bindings#115
Merged
Conversation
POST /executionEngines/tapis crashed with "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'match')" when an input parameter had no default value and the user-supplied binding was an empty string. The empty string is falsy, so neither branch in getInputsParameters assigned parameters[ip.id], and the subsequent regex check on the value threw. The crash propagated into handleSubmissionFailure, which then crashed on this.seeds.length because seeds was never initialized before seedExecutions threw. The cleanup mutation never ran and the original error was masked. - Guard the geojson regex with optional chaining so undefined values pass through unchanged. - Initialize this.seeds = [] at the start of submitExecutions so the failure cleanup path always has a valid array. - Add unit tests covering empty-string, populated, and default-value parameter cases.

Summary
POST /executionEngines/tapiscrashed withCannot read properties of undefined (reading 'match')whenever a model input parameter had no default and the user-supplied binding was an empty string. The regex check athelpers.ts:112ran onundefined.handleSubmissionFailurebecausethis.seedswas never initialized whenseedExecutionsthrew before assignment, sothis.seeds.lengthblew up too. The DB cleanup mutation never ran.Fix
getInputsParameterswith optional chaining (parameters[ip.id]?.match(...)).this.seeds = []at the top ofsubmitExecutionsso the failure path inhandleSubmissionFailurealways has a valid array.tapis/tests/helpers.test.tscovering: empty-string binding without default, populated binding, andip.valuedefault fallback.Repro
Input that triggered the original 500:
With this fix the empty parameter is left unset (downstream Tapis layer can decide), the submission either succeeds or fails with a clear error, and the failure cleanup mutation always runs.
