Variable scopes
-
I am currently trying to create a "Web Server" role for Otter.
My first step was to create a Sequence variable, @WebServerFeatures and then try to loop that collection and use PSEnsure to install the missing windows features.
However, I am having some issues with this.
Otter keeps telling me that @WebServerFeatures are not installed, however if I try and move the variable to the server it self, it works just fine.
TL;DR; I am unable to use a variable on the Role, but it works just fine if its declared on the Server.
Couple of screenshots.

You're definitely on the right track... but unfortunately this is a bug :(
It will be fixed in Otter 1.1.2, which will ship pretty soon (along with Linux, Git, etc) support :)

Is there a workaround? Its making Otter pretty useless....

The easiest workaround is to declare the variable at the top of your plan.
set @WebServerFeatures = @(...)Otherwise we will get this shipped by end of day!
