Hello Alana,

We want to add to our current functionality and make it backward compatible. We have an archive job running in Jenkins which then uploads a config file to Otter and triggers a job. That Otter job runs remotely using Otter\PowerShell scripts with that config file and an input. What we want to do is have a related archive job with its own config file use the same Otter\PowerShell scripts. The issue is, we cannot guarantee that both config files will exist. It would help greatly if we can conditionally get an asset.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi,

I am trying to conditionally run Get-Asset in an Otter script based on the existence of a script in the default raft. I am using curl and regardless if the script is there or not, I always get a positive return. Example (foo.config does not exist):

curl.exe --head "https://<server_url>/0x44/Otter.WebApplication/Inedo.Otter.WebApplication.Pages.Scripts.ListScriptsPage/DownloadAsset?id=Default::BinaryFile::<path_to_script>/foo.config"
HTTP/1.1 302 Found

How can I either conditionally run Get-Asset or use curl to check for a script in the raft?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Alana,

This seems to work for what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

Hi Alana,

What I am trying to do is capture the result (success or fail) of this call:

InedoCore::Exec
(
    FileName: pwsh,
    WorkingDirectory: C:\,
    Arguments: test.ps1,
    ErrorOutputLogLevel: Error,
    OutputLogLevel: Information,
    SuccessExitCode: == 0
);

My understanding is that currently InedoCore::Exec does not have a return value. I was hoping for something like:

$ret = InedoCore::Exec
(
 ...
);

if $ret == "0"
{
    // do operations for success
}
else
{
   // do operations for failure
}

Thanks!
Scott

Any updates on this?

Thanks!
Scott

@dean-houston Hi Dean,

I did try setting the return of my PowerShell test script to exit -1 which fails the InedoCore::Exec call as expected. I just need to capture that failure and test on it.

Thanks,
Scott

@dean-houston Hi Dean,

I am having a difficult time understanding the workflow here.

As an experiment, I run a ps1 which sets $Fail to "true" as an Ad Hoc job:

InedoCore::Exec
(
    FileName: pwsh,
    WorkingDirectory: C:\,
    Arguments: test.ps1,
    ErrorOutputLogLevel: Error,
    OutputLogLevel: Information,
    SuccessExitCode: == 0
);

if $Fail == "true"
{
    InedoCore::Send-Email
    (
        ...
    );
}

I get this: Could not resolve variable $Fail.

Do you have a working example? I must be missing something.

Also, what is the purpose of SuccessExitCode if you cannot test on it?

Thanks!
Scott

Hi Alana,

Are you planning on adding a return value for an Exec operation?  In my job, I call an otter script which calls pwsh via Exec and would like to send an email based on its return (success\failure).

Thanks!
Scott

Hi Dean,

Setting RaftItemType_Code = 7 in this instance worked for me. Appreciate the list of valid types. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Dean,

Here is what I'm running:

Invoke-WebRequest -Method Post -Uri "https://<otter_server>/api/json/Rafts_CreateOrUpdateRaftItem" -Body @{
API_Key = "<apikey>"
Raft_Id = 1
RaftItemType_Code = 4
RaftItem_Name = "JobConfigs/test.yml"
ModifiedOn_Date = Get-Date
ModifiedBy_User_Name = "scusson"
Content_Bytes = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("D:\test.yml"))
}

If I add the text file (test.yml) thru the UI, it gets added as binary.

Thanks,
Scott
