OMEdit ignores modified displayUnit

[Rüdiger Franke]

Open DisplayUnit.Test in the diagram view and double click on the model m. The parameter dialog will show the parameter T in degC instead of the modified K.

package DisplayUnit
  type Temperature = Real(unit = "K", displayUnit = "degC");

  model M
    parameter Temperature T;
  end M;

  model Test
    M m(T(displayUnit = "K") = 300) annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {1, -1}, extent = {{-51, -51}, {51, 51}}, rotation = 0)));
  end Test;
end DisplayUnit;

Fixed in d605fc7/OMEdit.

Look at the slightly modified example (degF instead of K):

package DisplayUnitF
  type Temperature = Real(unit = "K", displayUnit = "degC");

  model M
    parameter Temperature T;
  end M;

  model Test
    M m(T(displayUnit = "degF") = 293.15) annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {1, -1}, extent = {{-51, -51}, {51, 51}}, rotation = 0)));
  end Test;
end DisplayUnitF;

It appears that the first check always returns an empty value (ComponentProperties.cpp:87ff):

  /* Get displayUnit value
   * First check if displayUnit is defined with in the component modifier.
   * If no displayUnit is found then check it in the derived class modifier value.
   * A derived class can be inherited, so look recursively.
   */
  QString displayUnit = mpComponent->getComponentInfo()->getModifiersMap(pOMCProxy, className, mpComponent).value("displayUnit");
  if (displayUnit.isEmpty()) {
    ... seems to always arrive here ...
  }

No, that's not the problem. You are looking at a wrong place.
Basically we construct the drop down with two items i.e., K and degC. Then OMEdit reads the modifiers and got degF. OMEdit then tries to find degF in the drop down and fails.

ComponentProperties.cpp:896 - 903

if (modifiersIterator.key().compare(parameterName + ".displayUnit") == 0) {
  QString displayUnit = StringHandler::removeFirstLastQuotes(modifiersIterator.value());
  int index = pParameter->getUnitComboBox()->findText(displayUnit, Qt::MatchExactly);
  if (index > -1) {
    pParameter->getUnitComboBox()->setCurrentIndex(index);
    pParameter->setDisplayUnit(displayUnit);
  }
}

One idea is if index is -1 then add the display unit to the drop down and select it. However, I am not sure what will happen if convertUnits fails. OMEdit will show a wrong values then.
