CampaignCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED @ operations[0].operand.criterion - When trying to add geo location

[Yehoshaphat Schellekens]

Hi All 

I'm trying to add a geo location using the following code ,and getting the following error

CampaignCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED @ operations[0].operand.criterion

i'm not really sure what i'm doing wrong:

 

    Criterion criterion = new Criterion();
       criterion.setId(Long.parseLong("1012873")); // a dma of Anchorage, AK
       criterion.setCriterionType("LOCATION");
       
       CampaignCriterion Criterion = new CampaignCriterion();
       Criterion.setCriterion(criterion);
       Criterion.setCampaignId(Long.parseLong("246273610"));
       
       CampaignCriterionOperation create = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
       create.setOperand(Criterion);
       create.setOperator(Operator.ADD);
       
       CampaignCriterionOperation[] operations = new CampaignCriterionOperation[] {create};
       campaignCriterionService.mutate(operations);

i know that i do have a campaign id of "1012873" since i extracted it:

using data that i store in a hashBasedtable , that extracts campaign ID from my existing account:

{246273610={30002=PLATFORM, 30000=PLATFORM, 30001=PLATFORM}, 242139610={1000=LANGUAGE, 1023191=LOCATION, 21137=LOCATION, 30002=PLATFORM, 2376=LOCATION, 30000=PLATFORM, 2840=LOCATION, 30001=PLATFORM}, 246273490={30002=PLATFORM, 30000=PLATFORM, 30001=PLATFORM}}

Hi,

Please try creating a new Location object (via new Location()) instead of a new Criterion object in your first line and let me know if that does not resolve the issue for you.

Thanks,
