Convert javascript datatype value

[ananddp]

Comparison of value fails, because datatype value returned by invoke powershell script is a function. Is there a way to get them converted to string value

currentAutoAdminLogin = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.powershell").invokeScript(psHost,script1,sessionId);

returns value 0 in orchestrator output window

var stdAutoAdminLogin = "0"

System.log(currentAutoAdminLogin)

[2015-12-24 12:58:23.837] [I] DynamicWrapper (Instance) : [PowerShellRemotePSObject]-[class com.vmware.o11n.plugin.powershell.model.RemotePSObject] -- VALUE : com.vmware.o11n.plugin.powershell.model.RemotePSObject@2c47da58

System.log( typeof(currentAutoAdminLogin)

[2015-12-24 12:58:23.837] [I] function

System.log(currentAutoAdminLogin == 0)

[2015-12-24 13:10:36.135] [I] false

Hi,

What is the PS script you are invoking ? What i usually do is to convert the output to JSON and work with it.

vRO scripting objects are not 'real' Javascript objects but some sort of wrappers. That's why typeof() returns function. It's not an error; this is the expected behavior.

invokeScript() call returns an object of type PowerShellRemotePSObject. Check vRO API Explorer for what you can do with objects of this type - you can get it in JSON format, in XML format, or as a vRO object.

In your case, I would start with retrieving the 'proper' result using something like the following:

    var obj = currentAutoAdminLogin.getRootObject();
   System.log( obj );

SpasKaloferov & Ilian Iliev: Thanks for your response.

Actually i am trying to get a registry value of a remote computer using the invoke script and i want to return the value as string so that i can compare with a standard value.
