Method Not Allowed Querying API

[talaniz (Tony Alaniz)]

Hi, I was adjusting a community script that pushes to Slack so I could add machine names in the deployment. I borrowed part of a script from this help article. I was able to use that script from the article, replacing the Octopus.Deployment.Machines variable with a simple array Machines-192 on the actual Octopus server and the script ran fine. But when I run it from Octopus and specify that it should be run on the server I get a 405, Method Not Allowed error. Here’s my adjusted script (apikey and uri are not the same as my script)–

$deployMachines = "#{Octopus.Deployment.Machines}" 
Add-Type -Path 'C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Octopus\Octopus.Client.dll' 

$apikey = 'API-Key' 
$octopusURI = 'https://octopus.com/api/'

$endpoint = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusServerEndpoint $octopusURI,$apikey 
$repository = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusRepository $endpoint

$machineIds = $deployMachines.Split(',')
$tempArray = @()

foreach ($machineId in $machineIds) {
    Write-Host "Checking for $machineId"
    $machine = $repository.Machines.Get($machineId)
    $tempArray += $machine.Name
}

$machines = $tempArray -join ","

$message = $OctopusParameters['ssn_Message'] -replace "Link:", "Machines: $machines\nLink:"

$payload = @{
    channel = $OctopusParameters['ssn_Channel'];
    username = $OctopusParameters['ssn_Username'];
    icon_url = $OctopusParameters['ssn_IconUrl'];
    attachments = @(
        @{
            mrkdwn_in = $('pretext', 'text');
            pretext = $OctopusParameters['ssn_Title'];
            text = $message;
            color = $OctopusParameters['ssn_Color'];
        }
    )
}

try {
    [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12, tls11, tls"
    Invoke-Restmethod -Method POST -Body ($payload | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4) -Uri $OctopusParameters['ssn_HookUrl']
} catch {
    Write-Host "An error occurred while attempting to send Slack notification"
    Write-Host $_.Exception
    Write-Host $_
    exit 0
}

Stacktrace is–

An error occurred while attempting to send Slack notification 
April 19th 2018 21:42:34Info
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.

Can you anyone advise what I might be doing wrong?

This can be closed. It’s not an Octopus issue. I sat on it overnight and realized there’s an issue with my slack message. Will handle this on my own.
