executePythonFilePackage
- Karl Henselin
- Chandresh Patel
Execute a Python script from a file. This operation differs from executePythonFile by executing the file for every file in the package.
This operation has the same support for inputs and outputs available to it as the executePythonFile operation. In addition it has the following variables available with information about a particular file.
File Level Variables With Example
Variable name | Description | Value if File Name (with path) is /XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf |
|---|---|---|
| File path of the package deploy file. (File Name (with path)) on the package deployment screen. | /XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf |
| File name of the package deploy file. | APXSOBLX_1 |
| File path, excluding the file name and extension. | /XXHR/publisher |
| File extension on the package deploy file. | rtf |
| Fully qualified location of the file on the endpoint. | Fully qualified path to file being processed. This can be different locations for build and deploy workflow execution as there might be some checkout folder specified for build. See examples below for build and deploy workflow where FILE_PATH is in bold text.
|
| The Hash of the file as generated recorded by FlexDeploy. |
|
| The SCM Revision of the package deploy file. |
|
All file attributes defined on Project Files tab are included as well.
Project Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Stop On Deployment Error |
| No | Stop deploying package files if any error occurs. If unchecked all files will be deployed even if one or more files fails. This is for package operations only. True by default. |
Inputs
Input Name | Input Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
File Path |
| Yes | File path of the file to run. |
Python Executable |
| No | e.g. python or python3 if executable is available on PATH Or specify the full path e.g. /u01/python3.7/bin/python3. Defaults to python. |
Artifacts
This operation delegates the consume/produce artifacts decision to the workflow developer.
Endpoint Selection
This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the Target. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the Target which have that resource defined.
Endpoint Execution
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
Special Considerations
FlexDeploy Properties
FlexDeploy will pass in any Properties normally available in workflows via System Environment Variables.
Example
Property Example
import os
TEST_INP = os.getenv('TEST_INP')Outputs
User defined outputs – an output must be defined in the workflow editor to be accessible. Within your script use the setOutputs(key, Value) function to set any outputs.
Example
Output Example
setOutputs("MY_STRING_OUTPUT","Output result") # output will be "Output result"Setting Status
The status of the File can be set in your script using several functions available, see the example below. If an exception occurs in your script, the status will be set to Failed. Statuses will only be set when deploying.
Setting the status examples
setObjectResultStatusSuccess() # Status will be Success
setObjectResultStatusFailed() # Status will be Failed
setObjectResultStatusSkipped() # Status will be Skipped
setObjectResultStatusNotAttempted() # Status will be Not Attempted
setObjectResultStatusIgnore() # Status will be Unknown- style
