Are there any celigo docs on passing a field from an export into a lookup?
I would expect {{record.id}} to be different each time the lookup is done but it's the same.
t
Not sure I'm following. The value there will be dynamic for each record passing through
c
Yes, that's my expectation. The lookup always returns the same record though.
Despite the record.id supposedly being different for each lookup
I want to rule out a configuration issue so I can look elsewhere for the problem.
t
Are you just previewing or using the test mode runs?
c
Preview
Then looking at the import failures payloads
t
Preview will just preview the 1st record from source
c
Sorry, I mean I am importing (they are all failing) then looking at the import logs
t
Is the flow on? or are you clicking run while the flow toggle is off?
c
Yes, toggled off
t
Ahh okay. So in that mode, it utilizes mock output data for the lookup. If you go to the lookup and check under mock output, I bet it just has the same record there that you are seeing
c
So I need to enable the flow for it use real endpoint data?
That's a risk!
I guess that's what your new test mode addresses?
t
Yeah test mode is there so you can run the flow as if it were on, but we not make real calls to create data. There isn't a harm to lookup data, so if mock output is not populated when you run in test mode, it will populate the mock output one time and then use that mockoutput for subsequent test runs
If you clear the mock output, it will regrab it or you can manually modify the mock data
c
I'm trying to string together a series of imports, lookups, etc. I think I dont understand how to test this.
So test mode still uses mock data?
I used to just hook everything up end-to-end then introduce a defect in the final import to catch payloads. Is this still a valid way of testing?
t
Yes you can still do that
We have some enhancements coming soon so that you can run test mode with either mock output or live data so that you won't have to do that or manage mock data
c
I'm not sure I'm happy with Mock data, I wanted to see the data change as each record is exported and sent to subsequent steps.

Yeah in that case I would suggest turning the flow on and testing how you used to
But soon you'll be able to use live data as opposed to mock data and then the feature will probably be out of beta

That would be excellent

My thought too 🙂
