Hi,

I have to handover a path as a parameter to a powershell script. This path is stored in an project variable. Therefore I put %src\_dir% into the script parameters inside the powershell options dialogue. I expect that the evaluated variable value is hand over to the powershell command line but unfortunately the string %src\_dir% is set into the command line.

Wrong handling, misinterpreted concept or bug?

Thanks in advanced!

Regards,

Martin

Which version of FinalBuilder are you using? I tested this with FinalBuilder 6.2 and it worked as expected.

Hi Vincent,

I use Version 6.2.0.1019.

To clarify the situation I have added a picture which shows the dialogue an the log output.

Hi Martin

Very strange, it's working on my dev machine, but on other machines it's not. I suspect it may be a javascript version issue.. I've reorganised the code a bit so any errors will be clearer, I'll let you know when I have a build with it working.

Hi Vincent,   
  
 With version 6.2.0.1063 this issue is resolved. All our powershell scripts work perfectly now.   
 Many thanks!   
  
 Best regards,   
 Martin
