FATAL ERROR: TypeError: not enough arguments for format

Wapt 1.5
Windows Server 2012 R2
I wanted to create a package to install and configure Dell Command & Configure.
Through the console's graphical interface, I was getting string or argument errors.
I tried using the command line:
c:\waptdev>wapt-get make-template C:\Users\wstaff\Downloads\Dell-Command-Configure.EXE tarkin-Dell_Command_Configure
And in return I get this error:
FATAL ERROR: TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
If I use the assistant, I do it like this (image below) and it gives this result (next image)
- wapt_er01Capture.PNG (16.17 KB) Viewed 6785 times
- wapt_er02Capture.PNG (19.28 KB) Viewed 6785 times
Do you have any idea?

I'm experiencing the same issue with an .msi file.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

The problem stems from a special character (a pipe |) in the "product name" field of the file attributes, and a bug in the package creation wizard. I'll check with Hubert to fix this bug. I've created two issues related to this problem.

However, it works for me via command line (version 1.6.1) with the file downloaded from the website
https://www.dell.com/support/home/fr/fr ... erid=fvgf9 Something to look into.
Note: you can always create your package by creating an empty package and putting the executable inside.
Sincerely,
Denis

Since I only have the MSI file available, I can't create a package with an EXE file

In the meantime, you can execute the following command:
Code: Select all
wapt-get make-template tarkin-dell-configure
(Be sure to delete the tarkin-dell-configure folder in c:\waptdev before running the command)
You can then copy the binary (exe or msi) directly into the folder c:\waptdev\tarkin-dell-configure\
And write your package
