APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The powershell plugin fails with a very nondescript error when a user invokes a script that doesn't explicitly end with the 'exit' keyword (I.E. exit 0)
Local fix
Any scripts that are executed must end in exit 0 (or exit1 if they want to fail).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All end users on all supported browsers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * When users specify powershell scripts that don't explicitly * * end in the exit keyword, the plugin execution fails. The * * exact error message returned is 'No MSFT_NetAdapter objects * * found with property 'InterfaceIndex' equal to '1'. Verify * * the value of the property and retry.' This error is * * unrelated to any failure in the script or in the script * * execution, and should not be failing the step. It is a * * global error that powershell creates in the system Error * * variable when a script doesn't exit. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
A fix has been released with version 9 of the plugin. Instead of relying on the global Error variable to fail the step, failures from the powershell script execution are saved in their own variable, which will now be used to fail the step. Also, this fix also introduces a bug in the error output where the error text is never printed to stdout.
