Virtualization Plugins

Having an issue sending values entered in the UI (i.e. virtual_source.paramaters.mount_location) to run_bash as environment vars.
When I hard code (see below) it works fine.

But when I try to pass in a dynamic value based on the virtual_source (see below) I am getting errors when I try to create the VDB.

I looked on the Delphix SDK documentation but only saw an example with hard coded values, not variables.
I looked online and tried a variety of things (i.e. import json, res=[], res.append({'SDK_INST': vdbinst}), etc, but failing as well.
I'm relatively new to Python and need some guidance on how to do this.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Glad to see you're using the variables dictionary. That's a strange error. "scriptvarsjson" looks like a dictionary to me. A couple ideas come to mind:

1) Make sure the values in the dictionary are strings. "port" is a likely culprit here. You can convert an integer (or anything) to a string using the built-in str method: "str(port)". You can get the type of a variables with the built-in type method: "type(port)"
2) If that doesn't work, is it possible to remove elements in the dictionary one at a time and see which one is the causing issue?

Let me know how it goes.

Changing port to str(port) resolved it.   Thanks much!
