Filtering based on numbers doesn't understand < or > signals

[stephanieorch]

When I try to filter by age I have to do 1 number at a time because Qiita isn't recognizing the greater than or less than signs. The only signs the filtering command recognizes (based on what I've been using) are != and =.

Do you have an example we can check? Perhaps a failure? Thanks!

[stephanieorch]

I can create one now. It doesn't fail or give an error, it's output just isn't correct. I've spoken to Tomasz about this before and we went through multiple ways to write the SQLite WHERE-clause, but it never worked. For example: Analysis ID: 16655 job ID: 72992a63-97e3-4d63-8172-b0a06ae234cc where I did age < 8 which created artifact ID: 52281. This artifact still contains ages > 8.

I think this is more a documentation issue/a Qiime2 filtering issue unless the same filter terms do work in Qiime2? This should work if all the numbers are being interpreted as numbers afaik

Right, and I think this was fixed in one of the most recent versions of Qiime2 ...

Just tested and is working in the new release; my example: age >= 41 and age <= 71.
