Hi Alana,

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

Thanks!

Scott

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!

Hi Dean,

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

Scott

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

Hi,

This functionality is fixed in 2024.4. However, the script gets created as type "Unknown". How can this be set and what types are valid?

Thanks,
Scott

@dean-houston Thanks!
