Proper way to use $PSEval with boolean operations?
-
I am trying to use $PSEval to do some simple boolean comparisons but I'm not having any luck. If I run a simple plan like
set $foo = true; set $bar = true; set $foobar = $PSEval($foo -and $bar);
then I get an execution error that I cannot assign a vector value to a scalar variable. If I change $foobar to a vector (@foobar) and print out its contents it's just an empty array. Currently I've created a powershell asset to do the operation and return the result but it is a bit verbose to write
PSCall GLOBAL::BooleanOperation ( var1: $foo, var2: $bar, operator: and, returnValue => $foobar );
so I was hoping there was a more "inline" way to accomplish this.

The problem is that OtterScript attempts to parse those variables first. Just use quotes:
set $foo = true; set $bar = true; set $foobar = $PSEval("$foo -and $bar"); Log-Information `$foobar = $foobar; # prints: $foobar = True
