Conditional variable values

Hi,

I’m trying to bind conditionally a field to boolean value:

#{if #{Octopus.Environment.Name} == “PROD”}True#{/if}
#{if #{Octopus.Environment.Name} == “DEV”}False#{/if}

So that when the deployment runs on PROD, the result will be true, if “DEV”, false.
This is for to enable SSL bindings for a website on specific environments.

But I get an error

Exception calling “Parse” with “1” argument(s): "String was not recognized as
11:39:05Error
a valid Boolean."
11:39:05Error

  •     if([Bool]::Parse($binding.enabled)) {

How can I do it correctly?

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out. Conditional binding don’t quite work that way. I recently posted on another thread a walkthrough that shows how to get this done. It is for a different field, but the same can be applied for the SSL binding.
