Playing around with Set-OctopusVariable.
I have a variable BlaFoo with value 123.
I use this for a hostheader for my website.
When i try to use: Set-OctopusVariable it gets picked up by web.config, see success.jpg.
But in IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy, it “has” the original value of 123, so it seems like IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy, only have “access” to the original variables and not the ones set by Set-OctopusVariable.
I don’t know if this is by design or a bug, but i would guess i would have access to those variables everywhere?
Our use case is to set username and password for app pool to a “ad” account created in PreDeploy.ps1. But doesn’t seem possible with Set-OctopusVariable.
Deploy.ps1 (34 Bytes)
PreDeploy.ps1 (94 Bytes)
Thanks - this is a limitation in how we currently do variable substitution - the substitution happens before either script is run.
If you can locate the full variable name being used in the IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy script, you may be able to work around this by setting the full variable value, rather than the component being substituted in. E.g. here I think you need to set the full “Octopus.Action.IISWebSite.Bindings” variable.
We’ll see what can be done to improve this and follow up via https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/448
Okay, ill try to work around it, would be nice if it just worked everywhere i can see some confusion around where it would work and viceversa, but i might be edgy in what im trying to accomplish.
Thx
