Eclipse Hawkbit match empty string in filter query

In Eclipse Hawkbit UI. I am searching for a set of devices that are not currently assigned with a specific distribution.

When I write a filter with assignedds.name!="foo" it returns all devices that do not currently have distribution foo assigned for update EXCEPT if there are devices with no update scheduled it will not return these.

I expect the query to return the set of things that have a distribution assigned that doesn't match and also things that have no distribution assigned.

As a workaround I tried assignedds.name==NULL and assignedds.name=="" but these do not seem to work. Any suggestions for how to represent the empty string or empty set in the query?

assignedds.name=="" returns a list but assignedds.name!="" returns nothing (even though I can see that there are devices with no current assignment).

These filters are resolved to DB queries. So, the behaviour might depend on the database you are using. For me (MySQL + its config) works like following:

  • assignedds.name != "foo" -> returns assigned with different DS + with not assignments - what is what you want
  • assignedds.name != "foo" and assignedds.name != "" -> returns only with assigned different subscriptions - what you get
  • assignedds.name != "" -> works fine, but
  • assignedds.name == "" -> returns nothing
