Hi,

I'm creating a new job within the webhookTriggered() function. I've tried using the standard example from the docs:

Code: Select all

//create new job  
    var job = s.createNewJob();
    var f = new File(job.getPath());  
    f.open(File.WriteOnly);
    f.writeLine("Sample line.");
    f.close();

    //single outgoing connection only
    job.sendToSingle(job.getPath());

This works but creates a file called '_XXXXX_dummyFileForNewJob.dat'

What I need to do is take a path/filename and send that to single instead. Something like:

Code: Select all

//create new job  
    var job = s.createNewJob();
    
    var logPath = job.createPathWithName("logFile.txt");
    
    var f = new File( logPath );  
    f.open(File.WriteOnly);
    f.writeLine("Sample line.");
    f.close();

    //single outgoing connection only
    job.sendToSingle( logPath );

This "sort of" works. It creates a correctly named file at path that I can send to single. But I also see this in the Messages Log...

File does not exists: /Users/work/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/SwitchScripter/temp/EnvironmentClass/85/_0077G_dummyFileForNewJob.dat

So I try adding this at the bottom of the code:

Code: Select all

job.sendToNull( job.getPath() );

But the "File does not exists" (need to fix the grammar there too!) message persists.

My Question:

Within a function that has no "job" to use (timerFired(), webhookTriggered()), how do I create a file at a path and send it to single without getting a "File does not exists" message?

Thanks for any insights into this.

Honestly Pat, what you have in the second example looks correct to me. It's what I've done in scripts before: https://github.com/open-automation/swit ... js#L42-L51

The only thing I'd add is set the "createFolder" argument:

Code: Select all

var logPath = job.createPathWithName("logFile.txt", false);

Gabriel - thanks for the reply! I did try adding the 'false' parameter as a second option, but it made no difference to the message in the Log.

I guess this is just another bug (and typo) in the Scripting module.
