I tried to call a method in an interface from 3rd party's API. The interface has been successfully found by ole_query_interface, while at next step of calling the method inside, I got a segmentation fault. And I think the parameters I passed into the method are correct.

This implementation is using HP Quality Center Open Test Architecture API.
Interface: ISupportCopyPaste
Public Method: CopyToClipBoard
Syntax (Visual Basic):
Public Function CopyToClipBoard( _
ByVal IDSFilter As String, _
Optional ByVal mode As Long = 0, _
Optional ByVal Path As String = "" _
) As String
Parameters:
IDSFilter
Either comma separated list of ID numbers or a TDFilter.Text that qualifies the items to be copied.
mode
Unused
Path
Use when copying a folder. The path of the folder.
Return Type:
The data copied to the clipboard.

Codes Snippet:
iscp = tstsf.ole_query_interface(iid_ISupportCopyPaste)
clipboard = iscp.CopyToClipBoard(copied_id)
# or replace above one with below
# clipboard = iscp.CopyToClipBoard(copied_id, 0, "")

Hello,

Since I don't have HP installed tools (or will be without knowing exactly from where and which one to get)

Can you inspect that copied_id is what the type of object expected?

Also, as the example you provided, can remove the 0, "" optionals just for testing?

Thank you.

Hi Luis,

Sorry for lack of information. The 'copied_id' is a Fixnum and here is 25511 for each running. Actually I've tried both the fixnum itself and to_s as the parameter, while the result is the same. And according to HP's spec, this should be alright.

As in my comments, remove the optional parameters 0, "" has the same error as with these parameters.

Thanks a lot.

In the spec of parameter, it's said:
IDSFilter: Either comma separated list of ID numbers or a TDFilter.Text that qualifies the items to be copied.

So I also tried a bit TDFilter.Text type, it doesn't work either.

copied_id = tdcon.TestSetTreeManager.NodeByPath("#{path_1}\wk30\Component").FindTestSets("BAT_2010_0808").Item(1).TSTestFactory.Filter.Text

Here the copied_id is String and its value is "[Filter]".

Sorry for being too late to reply.
I would like to know the value of iid_ISupportCopyPaste.
Could you tell me the value?

p iid_ISupportCopyPaste # I would to know the result of this line.
iscp = tstsf.ole_query_interface(iid_ISupportCopyPaste)
