Invoke OtterScript

This is generated from the built in components of BuildMaster 7.0.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [User Icon] -> Documentation within your BuildMaster instance to see exactly what operations are available.

Invoke OtterScript

Executes an OtterScript plan specified as a string.

Script usage:

Invoke-OtterScript( Text: <text>, [AdditionalVariables: <%(key1: value1, ...)>], [CaptureOutputVariables: <@(text)>] );

This operation may be prefixed with BuildMaster::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.

Arguments:

Name	Format	Script Usage	Usage Notes
☆ Script text (default)	text	Text	This argument is required.
Additional variables	%(key1: value1, ...)	AdditionalVariables	Specify variables to pass in to the script using a map. For example: %(var1: MyVariableValue, var2: @(list,of,items))
Capture output variables	@(text)	CaptureOutputVariables	Specify variables to capture and set in the calling scope using a list. For example: @(filePath,errorMessage)
