Are the Octopus predefined variables available in tentacle run-script mode?

The following script:

Write-Host 'start’
Write-Host $OctopusPackageName
Write-Host $OctopusPackageVersion
Write-Host $OctopusPackageNameAndVersion
Write-Host $OctopusEnvironmentName
Write-Host ‘end’

Has the following output:

start

end

Variables that I pass through with the “-v” switch are available.

Do you need to do something special to enable them?

Hi Rob,

They aren’t available automatically (because the script is being run directly rather than via a package deployment), however you can pass them manually:

tentacle.exe [....] -v OctopusPackageName="MyPackage" -v OctopusEnvironmentName="Production"

Hope that helps,

Paul

Hi David,

I have no idea why I wrote “Hi Rob” on that last email, I must have been reading something else at the time. Please accept my sincere apologies.

Ha ha, no worries. I chalked it up to the crazy hours you seem to pull. Thanks for the quick response.
