KNIME 4.7 sortinf error: Error sorting table: 'java.lang.Object org.knime.core.node.util.CheckUtils.checkStateType(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)'

Hi,

I have a stange error message and behaviour in KNIME 4.7 (just started working with that version).

What I do:

download KNIME as self-extraction file
extract
run KNIME 4.7
load workspace Building a Simple Classifier from the basic examples
excute until Color model node
sort Table for integer oder string column => fine

Now I install any new extension via Install New Software, here I did for Basic Chamistry under KNIME extensions, but I tested few other extensions, same behaviour, in other words, it does not matter what it installed:

restart KNIME 4.7
load workspace Building a Simple Classifier from the basic examples
excute until Color model node
sort Table for integer => fine
sort for String => Error sorting table: ‘java.lang.Object org.knime.core.node.util.CheckUtils.checkStateType(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)’
very similar error message I get when using the Sorter Node on strings
I have it on my work PC reproduced several times which is Win 7
I have same problem in my private laptop which is Win 10 home
I asked 2 colleagues to check that on windows and they could not reproduce it on their Windows. Strange!
I pasted the KNIME.log entry below… I could not see any sign related to the installed extension…

Any help on this is appreciated!

Thanks,

Martin

hi @stoeter
+1 as I got the same error since yesterday.

The following message occurs in the Console, when trying to sort a table via string column in the table view and also when using the Sorter node:
Error sorting table: 'java.lang.Object org.knime.core.node.util.CheckUtils.checkStateType(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)'

Yesterday I just installed the extesnion “KNIME Python Extension”.
Before doing that it just worked fine.

Any help please?

Thanks, Thomas

in addition… updating on 4.7.1 (coming from 4.7.0) helped
the error disappears and sorting for string columns is working.

sanket_2012 · February 17, 2023, 9:11am

Hi @stoeter ,
Thanks for reporting the error. Did you also try to update to 4.7.1 and check if the error is still there?

Thanks,
Sanket

stoeter · February 17, 2023, 10:25am

Hi tommy,
thanks for reporting.
I can confirm update to 4.7.1 solves the issue.
When I downloaded KNIME only 4.7.0 was available and I did not see that meanwhile 4.7.1 was released.
Thanks!
Martin

Hi, I simply upgraded components and fixed the problem… File - Knime Update…
