    Hi,

     

    Just for the sake of anyone else get into this problem, here is the solution:

     

    def processCommandLineArgument(VersionFromTheApp):
    #iterate through all parameters sent via command line set in Jenkins file
      for i in range (0, BuiltIn.ParamCount()):
        #verify any of tha parameters contain a string called LatestSprintVersionNumber
        if "LatestSprintVersionNumber" in aqConvert.VarToStr(BuiltIn.ParamStr(i)):
          #split the /LatestSprintVersionNumber=x.x.xxxx.xx parameter into 2 bits ('/' 'and LatestSprintVersionNumber=x.x.xxxx.xx')
          items = aqConvert.VarToStr(BuiltIn.ParamStr(i)).split("/")
          #split the LatestSprintVersionNumber=x.x.xxxx.xx parameter into 2 bits ('LatestSprintVersionNumber and 'x.x.xxxx.xx')
          items = aqConvert.VarToStr(items[1]).split("=")
          #check if the first item in position [0] in items array equals to 'LatestSprintVersionNumber'
          if aqConvert.VarToStr(items[0]) == "LatestSprintVersionNumber":
             #check if the value appears in the app in the help-->about window equals to the second item in position [1] in items array
             if VersionFromTheApp == aqConvert.VarToStr(items[1]):
               Log.Message("The latest sprint version passed via the command line is " + aqConvert.VarToStr(items[1]))
               Log.Message("The installed version is " + VersionFromTheApp)
               Log.Message("Both, latest sprint build version and the installed one are the same")
            else:
               Log.Message("The latest sprint version passed via the command line is " + aqConvert.VarToStr(items[1]))
               Log.Message("The installed version is " + VersionFromTheApp)
               Log.Message("The latest sprint build version and the installed one are not the same")

Now when running this code on the Jenkins pipeline I get an error:

13:21:15  The TestExecute process has exited with the following code: 2.
13:21:15  IndexError: list index out of range

this is my code and I can't understand why it is going out of range:

 

This is my command line, the argument I am passing is in bold

 

bat "SessionCreator.exe RunTest /UserName:%USERNAME% /UseActiveSession /Password:%PASSWORD% /ProjectPath:${env.WORKSPACE}\\DA_Automation_Test_Framework.pjs /p:AutomationSharedResources /arg:LatestSprintVersionNumber=$LatestSprintVersionNumber /ExportLog:${env.WORKSPACE}\\reports\\HTML\\report.html /ExportSummary:${env.WORKSPACE}\\reports\\report.xml"

 

And this is the code I am trying to use when running the TE

 

def processCommandLineArgument():

  for i in range (0, BuiltIn.ParamCount() + 1):

    items = BuiltIn.ParamStr(i).split(":")     

    items = items[1].split("=")

    if items[0] == "LatestSprintVersionNumber":     

      Log.Message("The latest sprint version passed via the command line is " + items[1]) 

      return items[1]

 

Can you please tell me where do I go wrong?

 

Any idea what is the problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Ofer
