octopus-LogOctopusParameters
Creates and writes a powershell script to the Release Task Log during deployment. This powershell script can be copy/pasted to a powershell console, and it will generate an $OctopusParameters variable with all of the values used during the deployment, along with helper methods .ToGridView(), .ToScreen(), and .ToClipBoard() which should be self explanatory. This should help with debugging deployments.
This is what the log output looks like for this step:
Tentacle Script Execution
#Copy this log section to a Powershell Editor or terminal. and run it.
#It will create an $OctopusDeploy Dictionary Variable.
function info { param([string] $time) process {}}
$OctopusParameters = @{}
$OctopusParameters.Add("Parameter_1", "Foo")
$OctopusParameters.Add("Parameter_2", "Bar")
#... one line for every OctopusParameter entry
