How to pattern match edges in reverse?

[Daniel Solow]

The following query works for me:

CREATE QUERY test(Vertex seed) FOR GRAPH abc SYNTAX v2 {
      Frontier (ANY) = {seed};


     Frontier =  SELECT v FROM Frontier:u-((_|_>):e)-ANY:v WHERE true;
   
     print Frontier;
}

However, this query, with the directionality reversed, does not:

CREATE QUERY test(Vertex seed) FOR GRAPH abc SYNTAX v2 {
      Frontier (ANY) = {seed};


     Frontier =  SELECT v FROM Frontier:u-((_|<_):e)-ANY:v WHERE true;
   
     print Frontier;
}

I get the following error:

line 30:12 extraneous input '.*' expecting '}'
Parsing encountered 1 syntax error(s)


The query test cannot be added!

How should I get this to work?

Thanks

Hello Daniel.

I can help look into this issue. Before we start, which version of the TigerGraph product are you using?

Thanks,

2.5.3

Hello Daniel.

For 2.5.3, please change the target type from "ANY" to "_" to maintain the semantics for the given query.
We will fix this issue in our future release.

Thanks,
Adil
