How to use $ReferencedReleaseNumber and $ReferencedPackageNumber

[Guest]

Hi,
can you help me with an example of how to use it? in the sample below only retrieves the deployable name but not the numbers that I need.

# Loop
foreach $Deployable in @DeployablesInRelease
{
    set $BuildComponents = $BuildComponents + $Deployable $ReferencedReleaseNumber.$ReferencedPackageNumber
    Log-Debug  $BuildComponents;

}

Many thanks.

Product: BuildMaster
Version: 5.2.3

There are a few ways to solve this...

The $ReferencedReleaseNumber will use the current deployable in context, unless another was specified (e.g. $ReferencedReleaseNumber(myDeployableName)) as an argument.

Based on the OtterScript, it doesn't look like you have a deployable in context. The foreach loop is just putting one of the items from the @DeployablesInRelease list into a scalar variable.

# Option 1 (context iteration statement)
foreach deployable in @DeployablesInRelease
{
    set $BuildComponents = $BuildComponents + $DeployableName $ReferencedReleaseNumber.$ReferencedPackageNumber;
    Log-Debug  $BuildComponents;
}

# Option 2 (usage of parameter in variable function)
foreach $Deployable in @DeployablesInRelease
{
     set $BuildComponents = $BuildComponents + $Deployable $ReferencedReleaseNumber($Deployable).$ReferencedPackageNumber($Deployable);
Log-Debug  $BuildComponents;
}

# Option 3 (set context statement)
foreach $Deployable in @DeployablesInRelease
{
     for deployable $Deployable
     {
         set $BuildComponents = $BuildComponents + $Deployable $ReferencedReleaseNumber.$ReferencedPackageNumber;
         Log-Debug  $BuildComponents;
     }
}

Hi,
I try all the options, but the option 1 and 3 does not returns the numbers...and option 2 produces an error:

| 1 and 3 does not returns the numbers

What numbers are you expecting? Are you just seeing "deployable + ." as the result?

Can you confirm the deployables are, in fact, referenced in the release?

CAn you try to log the additional info?

foreach $Deployable in @DeployablesInRelease
{         
    Log-Debug  $Deployable;
}

Hi,

When I create a new package I can select the deployables that I want to include into the new one, and If I exclude one, then I can select a version number for that deployable, then the target is to know Which deployables and in which version are included into the Release-Package...
Something like this:

Check-In Services v-7.1607.12.10; Check-In Finance Service v-7.1607.12.6; Check-In Client v-7.1607.12.6; DB Master v-7.1607.12.6; DB Event v-7.1607.12.6; DB Web v-7.1607.12.6; Check-In Finance Service v-7.1607.12.4; v-7.1607.12.4; v-7.1607.12.4;

I'm struggling a bit trying to figure out how to reproduce the set-up; would you mind putting some steps on what we can do (screenshots in a Word doc are fine), as well as the OtterScript plans, then we can set something up similar, and figure out where the issue is...
