Thanks Alex. Sorry about those sloppy mistakes. I agree about the ../a-list
and I should have said count > 0.
In the 2nd part of my email, my intention was to only allow foo to be
configured if a-list has at least one entry configured. So I don't think
min-elements 1 would work. I don't want to always require an entry in a-list.
I only want to require one if foo is configured.
I guess this also achieves the same thing right ?
must "../a-list[entry=*]";
If foo has a default value, then does that mean the "must" is evaluated even if
foo is deleted from the config ?
leaf foo {
must "../a-list"; <- always evaluated because of default ?
type uint16;
default 5;
}
If the must is always evaluated then it would be the equivalent of having
min-elements 1 in a-list.
Rgds,
Jason

Hi,
For one thing, it should be ../a-list since a-list is not a child of foo.
Also - if foo is not configured and has no default value, then any must
expressions in foo are not evaluated because it is not part of the "accessible
tree". (I tested this in ConfD)
Apart from these issues, yes it will behave as you expect - it will fail if
a-list contains no entries.
must "count(a-list) > 1"; is not equivalent since it requires at least two
entries.
However, you can more simply add a min-elements 1; statement to a-list to
achieve the same goal - no XPath required.

Subject: [netmod] YANG 'must' Xpaths, predicates and wildcards
Hi all,
I'm pretty sure that this xpath (e.g. in a must statement) isn't correct:
(A) ../container-a/list-b[name=*]/some-leaf
and should just be this instead:
(B) ../container-a/list-b/some-leaf
Or is the * an allowable wildcard for a key value in a predicate ?
I also had a question about whether the following "must" correctly checks that
at least one entry exists in a-list.
container c1 {
leaf foo {
must "a-list";
type uint16;
}
list a-list {
key "entry";
leaf entry {
type uint16;
}
leaf another-entry {
type uint32;
}
}
}
I think I could also replace that must with the following:
must "count(a-list) > 1";
but does must "a-list"; achieve the same thing ?
Rgds,
Jason
