Bug: catalog.getCurrentViewFilter () raises assertion error

[John R Ellis]

Using the Lightroom 3 SDK, the following code fragment:

LrApplication.activeCatalog().getCurrentViewFilter ()

results in the following error message:

“An internal error has occurred: assertion failed!”

The error still occurs if you call it from within a task and function context:

LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext ("test", function (context)
    LrDialogs.attachErrorDialogToFunctionContext (context)
    LrApplication.activeCatalog().getCurrentViewFilter ()
    end)

I tried invoking it with the view filters on and off and still got the error.

Any thoughts?  I've reported it as a possible bug via the support form.

I didn't have any problem - but you need to use a colon, not a dot.

Argh, thanks.  I had run into that before (and seen other postings about it).  The "assertion failed" is notably unhelpful 😞

Made that mistake once myself .

I agree, a tad of info in the assertions would really help.
