$task->GetState() question

hossman1

I'm trying to test for "active" tasks and only display active tasks in a CGI file. For each task I'm doing the following test.

if($task->GetState() == "active"){
print("this is an active task");
}

The problem I'm running into is that for some reason this test holds true for all tasks in my system whether active or inactive.

If I do this.
print($task->GetState());
if($task->GetState() == "active"){
print("this is an active task");
print($task->GetState());
}

I can see the state values being active and/or inactive but the if statement shouldn't be true for inactive states and it is.

Am I doing something wrong or missing something? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Can you check any task which is inactive as per you through command line using iwgetwfobj CLT?

Also, could you please replace your == with eq. You are in Perl, not in javascript.
