PR fix notes

PR #69574: fix(cron): handle undefined/null input in parseAbsoluteTimeMs

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

The parseAbsoluteTimeMs function would throw 'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading trim)' when called with undefined or null input. This could happen when cron jobs had malformed or missing schedule data, particularly when displaying cron job lists via openclaw cron list.

This fix adds a null/undefined guard at the start of the function, returning null early instead of throwing a TypeError.

Fixes #69547

PR #22: fix: handle undefined in trim call (#69547, #69497)

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

问题

#69547 和 #69497 都是对 undefined 调用 .trim() 导致的 TypeError。

修复

在 normalizeOptionalLowercaseString 中添加类型守卫：在调用 .toLowerCase() 之前先检查值是否为字符串类型。避免当传入非字符串值（如 undefined）时，先传给 normalizeOptionalString（返回 undefined），然后对 undefined 调用 .toLowerCase() 导致的 TypeError。

测试覆盖

新增 src/shared/string-coerce.test.ts，覆盖了 normalizeOptionalLowercaseString 对 undefined、null、非字符串值、空字符串、空格字符串的处理。

TL;DR

The error "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')" suggests that a variable or property is undefined when trying to call the trim() method, which needs to be identified and fixed in the touch cron command.

Guidance

  • Review the code executed by the touch cron command to identify where the trim() method is being called and what variable or property it's being called on.
  • Check if any recent changes in the OpenClaw version (2026.04.14) or the model (minmax4.7) could be causing the issue, especially if they involve changes to how data is processed or passed to the touch cron command.
  • Verify that all required variables or properties are properly defined and initialized before the trim() method is called.
  • Consider adding error checking or logging to understand why the variable or property is undefined.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the touch cron command and its implementation.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details about the touch cron command and its implementation, making it challenging to provide a precise fix. The issue seems to be related to a JavaScript error, given the nature of the TypeError, but without more context, it's difficult to offer a direct solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the lack of specific information, the best course of action is to apply a workaround by adding checks to ensure that the variable or property is defined before attempting to call trim() on it, to prevent the error and potentially provide more insight into why it's occurring.
