color=#000080 size=2>The whole expression yields a member, I think [Store].[All
stores], which is then evaluated to a scalar. What that scalar evaluates to
depends on the context of all dimensions except [Store]. Because of the Item()
function, the dimensionality of that member was null, and the dependency
checking was converting 'depends on unknown dimension' into 'does not depend on
any dimension'. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[Mondrian] testItemNull() test failure<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR><TT><FONT size=2>Hi Julian,</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT
size=2> We tried to address the testItemNull() test failure. We
investigated on what is going wrong with dependency check for
Filter([Store].Members, (0.0 = 0.0)).Item(0.0).Item(0.0). It finally reaches
'0.0' to evaluate if a dimension is depend on it. Since it is constant calc it
returns that is it not dependent on any dimension. </FONT></TT>
<BR><BR><TT><FONT size=2> Our test is to validate that we are not getting
null pointer exception any more. Since we are not that familiar with
dependency checks we are inclined to opt for a simple change in the test like
"</FONT></TT><TT><FONT color=red size=2>0 *</FONT></TT><TT><FONT size=2>
(Filter([Store].members, 0 = 0).Item(0).Item(0), Filter([Store].members, 0 =
0).Item(0).Item(0))" which will always pass the dependency check and also
ensures our null pointer fix is in place.</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT
size=2> Please let us know how should we take this forward.</FONT></TT>
