[gold-users] API Question

[Scott Jackson]

Per `PERL5LIB=/usr/local/gold/lib perldoc Gold::Request`:

request = $request->setCondition($name[, $value[, $op[, $conj[,$group[, 
$object[, $subject]]]]]]);

To do this properly, you will need to conceptually group them in 
parentheses so that you do not get improper combining of other requested 
options, i.e what you really want is the equivalent of:

goldsh Job Query ( User==mike || User==other || User==bob  )

This would be something like:

$request->setCondition("User, "mike", "And", "+1");
$request->setCondition("User, "other", "Or");
$request->setCondition("User, "bob", "Or", "-1");

The first group=+1, adds a leading parentheses before the condition
The last group=-1, adds a trailing parentheses after the condition
The first one should be an And so that the parenthesized set is anded 
with other glsuser conditions (like -p, -m, etc.)

You might want to put your code in something like this:

        my $firstTime = 1;
        my $counter   = 0;
        foreach my $user (@users)
        {
            $counter++;
            my $lastTime = ($counter == @users) ? 1 : 0;

            if ($firstTime && $lastTime)
            {
                $request->setCondition("User, $user, "And", "0");
            }
            elsif ($firstTime)
            {
                $request->setCondition("User, $user, "And", "+1");
            }
            elsif ($lastTime)
            {
                $request->setCondition("User, $user, "Or", "-1");
            }
            else
            {
                $request->setCondition("User, $user, "Or", "0");
            }
        }
