Hey Guys,
I am currently running some external powershell through vRO against our powershell server.
I have tried this in the following environments:
- vRO 7.2 - PS Plugin v1.0.11
- vRO 7.2 - PS Plugin v1.0.9
- vRO 7.1 - PS Plugin v1.0.9
The powershell is returning a PSObject, and it is being parsed via:
myvar.getResults().getRootObject().getProperty('InstanceId');
I know for a fact that the object is getting returned correctly because when I execute
myvar.getHostOutput();
My supposedly 'returned' object is being displayed to the console on the remote powershell server. I also have some logging setup on the powershell server that confirms this as well.
I believe it has something to do with a timeout of some kind within the powershell plugin. If I run my powershell cmdlet in 'test' mode, the script runs for 30 seconds and the data comes back just fine. However, when I am actually trying to run the cmdlet, it takes about 15 minutes, and I am unable to parse the response. I am getting the following error back:
TypeError: Cannot find function getProperty in object ,Windows IP Configuration,,Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.,DynamicWrapper (Instance) : [PowerShellPSObject]-[class com.vmware.o11n.plugin.powershell.model.result.PSObject
This error would indicate that the object that was returned wasn't actually a PSObject. But this is false, the HostOutput says otherwise, as well as the logging setup on the PS server.
Anybody else experience anything like this?
EDIT:
I have also attempted to just return a string instead of a PSObject, the result is the same. When the workflow runs quickly, it works. When it runs in full, nothing comes back.
