AttributeValidator - problems setting up Minimum Length Operator

Hi ,

I’m having problems configuring the ‘Minimum Length’ Operator in the AttributeValidator Transformer. Ideally, I would like it to test that the minimum length of characters is greater than 8. When I run the Translation I get the following message:

An error was encountered evaluating a TestFactory test: Illegal operator `MINIMUM_LENGTH'

supplied for test evaluation -- operator must be one of < > <= >= != = ==

 

I believe the issue is with my incorrect settings in ‘Rule Configuration’ column. Does anyone have a working example of how to configure the ‘Rule Configuration’ using the ‘Minimum Length’ Operator?

Many thanks

What did you type into the rule configuration? This should be enough to check for length >= 8:

I used the Arithmetic Editor typing in the equation: @Value(Start)

 

length >= 8.

 

Using your method I still appear to be getting an error

 

The input is numeric, could that be a possible issue?

 

 

Many thanks :)

If the value is numeric you could use the test shown in the image below:

Why not just type 8 into the Rule Configuration column, like shown in @david_r's screenshot?

 

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

If the value is numeric you could use the test shown in the image below:

If you intend to validate if the input is 8 or more figures (never containing non-figure), this regex might be better.

As Takashi suggests, just type "8" and nothing more.

As you and Takashi suggested, simply typing 8 into the Rule Configuration column was all that was needed.

 

Cheers :)
