INI: Mathcheck Plugin Does not Work

[sanssecours]

Description

It looks like the mathcheck does not work correctly if we use INI as storage plugin.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

kdb mount mathcheck.esr user/tmount/mathcheck mathcheck ini

kdb set user/tmount/mathcheck/check/test0/points 5.9
kdb set user/tmount/mathcheck/check/test1/points 4.5

kdb set user/tmount/mathcheck/check/gp
kdb setmeta user/tmount/mathcheck/check/gp check/math ":= + ../test0/points ../test1/points"

kdb get user/tmount/mathcheck/check/gp
# STDOUT: 10.4

Expected Result

The command kdb get prints 10.4.

Actual Result

The command kdb get prints nothing.

Additional Information

Everything works fine if we use the ni plugin instead of ini:

kdb mount mathcheck.esr user/tmount/mathcheck mathcheck ni

Thank you for reporting! Can you please also post the resulting ini file? Is the meta data properly stored in the file?

Can you please also post the resulting ini file?

[check/test0]
points = 5.9
[check/test1]
points = 4.5
#@META check/math = := + ../test0/points ../test1/points
[check/gp]

Is the meta data properly stored in the file?

Yes, as far as I can tell. The command kdb getmeta user/tmount/mathcheck/check/gp check/math returns

:= + ../test0/points ../test1/points
