[SOLVED] Problem executing a PowerShell script using the PowerShell run function

[dcardon]

Hi Albin,

since you're defining variables, it's not possible to run them individually; you have to maintain the context.
In your last post, you have a "-WmiObject" command without the "Get"... It's normal that it crashes, probably an accidental copy-paste.
By the way, are you running `run_powershell_from_file` using `def session_setup()` or `def install()`? If it's using `def install()`, it's normal that it doesn't work; your code is context-dependent.

Regards,

Denis.

PS: Please put your code snippets and shell output in code blocks; it's much more readable.

Hello Denis,

indeed, we launch `run_powershell_from-file` using `def install()`.

Albin

I re-ran my script using the run_powershell_from_file command
here is the code

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

# Usable WAPT package functions: install(), uninstall(), session_setup(), audit(), update_package()
# Declaring global variables - Warnings: 1) WAPT context is only available in package functions; 2) Global variables are not persistent between calls

def session_setup() :
    run_powershell_from_file("testwapt.ps1")

I'm getting errors in the console when I deploy to a machine.
Here are the errors:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\common.py", line 3938, in install_wapt
    exitstatus = setup.install()
AttributeError: module '__waptsetup_ttmou6pwdf__' has no attribute 'install'
AttributeError: module '__waptsetup_ttmou6pwdf__' has no attribute 'install'

Sincerely,

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    filecopyto('testwapt.ps1',r'c:\testwapt.ps1')

def session_setup() :
    run_powershell_from_file(r"c:\testwapt.ps1")
    

In PyScripter, run `execute install`, then `session_setup`

Good morning,
We tested your script, we don't have any errors in the Wapt console, but it still doesn't work

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    filecopyto('testwapt.ps1',r'c:\testwapt.ps1')

def session_setup() :
    run_powershell_from_file(r"c:\testwapt.ps1")

The copy of the testwapt.ps1 file is successful on the machine, but the script does not execute.

Sincerely,
Albin

On the machine where the package was launched, you can do the following:

Code: Select all

wapt-get session-setup nom_de_votre_paquet -f

To see what that says

Hello again,

I ran the command and I got this message

: Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Configuring testwapt.ps1 ...
2022-05-02 12:00:05,183 CRITICAL Exception: Package testwapt.ps1 is not installed

Not the script, but the name of your package (package field in your package's control file)

[Albin]

I ran the command again with the package name.
Here's the message I got:
Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Configuring Printer_0-wapt ...
2022-05-02 16:17:16,250 CRITICAL Exception: Package Printer_0-wapt is not installed.

You specified the folder in waptdev and not the package name

So, judging by the folder name, I assume your package name is "Printer"

SO:

Code: Select all

wapt-get session-setup Imprimante -f
