[Ketarin 1.8.3 beta]

I see. Personally I don't use those kind of variables, just reported my findings in case this behavior was not intended.

[Ketarin 1.8.3 beta]

As already mentioned, variables of the type 'Textual Content' can be accessed by '$app.Variables.{VariableName}.TextualContent' and variables of type 'Content from URL (Regular Expression)' via '$app.Variables.{VariableName}.CachedContent'.

 

But I cannot get the value of a 'Content from URL (start/end)' variable. In this case '$app.Variables.{VariableName}.CachedContent' is empty.

[Ketarin 1.8.3 beta]

Finally got around to test the PowerShell integration a bit. Here are my observations so far.

 

Working:

• Common commands (copying, creating directories, etc.) do work.
  
• Dot-sourcing of external scripts works, too! (Great for integrating custom functions.)
  
• 'Write-Error -ErrorAction Stop' does abort a script with the appropriate status message.
  

Issues/suggestions:

• Having 'Write-Error' anywhere in the script suppresses all output (Write-Warning & Write-Host) to the log file.
  
• Warning messages are printed before all the info messages of 'Write-Host', not in order of appearance.
  
• 
  

  
  
  Script:
  
  Write-Host    '1. Message 1.'
  
  Write-Warning '2. Warning 1.'
  
  Write-Host    '3. Message 2.'
  
  Write-Warning '4. Warning 2.'
  
  
  Output:
  
  > 2. Warning 1.
  
  > 4. Warning 2.
  
  > 1. Message 1.
  
  > 3. Message 2.

  
  
  
• Could the 'Installing Applications' progress dialog maybe recognize warnings and display a yellow icon and the status 'Installation successful (with warnings)'?
  

[Raising an error when aborting a batch setup script]

Ok, I see. Thanks for the clarification!

 

Feature request it is, then: https://ketarin.userecho.com/topic/857577-evaluate-exit-codes-in-setup-scripts-eg-to-abort-installation/

[Raising an error when aborting a batch setup script]

Should this topic maybe be moved to "Bugs" to catch Floele's attention/be considered for fixing?

[Raising an error when aborting a batch setup script]

*bump* (Sorry, don't know how else to get attention from a mod/dev.)

[Raising an error when aborting a batch setup script]

I used exactly that single line as test script. And it does work for the application specific pre-update command, but I am talking about the application specific setup command (http://wiki.ketarin.org/index.php/Setup_instructions).

 

As this seems to work for some commands but not for others, I checked them each individually (Ketarin v1.7.1.434):

 

C# test script:

Abort("Error");

C# test script results:

• Default pre-update command in settings: Throws error.
  
• Application specific pre-update command: Throws error.
  
• Default post-update command in settings: Throws error.
  
• Application specific post-update command: Throws error.
  
• Command to execute after updating all applications: No error.
  
• Application specific setup command: Throws error.
  

Batch test script:

exit 1

Batch test script results:

• Default pre-update command in settings: Throws error.
  
• Application specific pre-update command: Throws error.
  
• Default post-update command in settings: No error.
  
• Application specific post-update command: Throws error.
  
• Command to execute after updating all applications: No error.
  
• Application specific setup command: No error.
  

 

As the results differ for both kind of scripts, I doubt this is intentional.

Can someone else reproduce this? Might this be a bug?

[Raising an error when aborting a batch setup script]

Hi!

 

I am quite certain this must have come up before, but I can't find any relevant topic.

 

I am trying to abort a batch setup script. I have tried the following lines:

exit 1
exit 2
exit 3
exit /B 1
exit /B 2
exit /B 3

But no matter what, Ketarin always prompts "{App}: Installed successfully".

 

For good meassure I tried the C# equivalent:

Abort( "Something went wrong!");

And this yields a nice "{App}: Setup failed (Something went wrong!)" message.

 

Could someone please enlighten me - what am I missing?

 

Cheers,

lujomu

[Detect failed installation (exit codes)]

Or are you saying that you used 'exit 1' in the *setup* script?

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I dont't use a pre-update script at all.

 

The 'exit' behavior only applies to the pre-update scripting.

Ok, that answers my question then, thanks!

[Detect failed installation (exit codes)]

I read in the Wiki (http://wiki.ketarin....update_commands) that exit codes can be used to determine the success/failure of the pre-update commands. So I assumed this would also work on the individual application setup scripts, but no matter what I do, the insallation is always reporterd as successful.

 

E.g.: I added a new application entry, gave it the name "TEST APP" and created a setup (batch-)script with the single line

exit 1

I also tried other exit codes, but the installation is always reported as successful.

 

Am I missing something?

[Help with combo box needed]

Great, thanks! Just hope they don't discontinue this site in favour of the new fancy version!

[Help with combo box needed]

Yes, that's the problem. No blog or change log outside of that site to see if there is a new firmware and which version it has....

 

I was afraid there is no easy solution. But thanks for your efforts anyway!

[Help with combo box needed]

Hi!

 

I know how to use regex to extract links and stuff, but this is too much for me.

 

On this site http://www.crucial.c...t/firmware.aspx I need to select one entry from the combo box, specifically 'Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5-inch SSD'. But I have no idea how to do that.

 

Can someone please provide me a pointer?

 

Thanks
