I have a WIX Bootstrapper installer with WPF UI where user can choose which sub-packages they want to install/Uninstall.
Now I have a requirement to run the installer via command line and also user can choose the sub-packages by proving the command line arguments.
At the end it should also give some status if it was successful or not in the cmd itself.
Can you please help me as I am able to able to achieve this..
Thanks in advance
If you don't want to install package by default
In your Bundle add element WixVariable with Name = VarName and Value = NotVarValue attributes.
For package in your Chain add attribute InstallCondition="VarName = "VarValue""
To install this package when calling your bootstrapper in cmd type:
Bootstrapper.exe /VarName = "VarValue"
(If you do want to install package by default, just define WixVariable with value which matches InstallCondition. Then to disable package pass different value)
For sending result message deal with ApplyComplete event in your custom BA.
More exotic ways are described here: How to use CustomAction in WIX Bundle?
(the idea is to launch some executable in the end of your Chain which will write to cmd)

Having trouble setting automatically set PATH to programFiles\veyon after installation. I would like to use the veyon-ctl command line with out having to manually link it.
The code that you have highlighted seems to be working exactly as expected. I have just taken that code, and added it to a package and installed it. The result was the following...
As you will see mentioned in the output, this environment variable will not be available in the current shell until you open/close the shell. I suspect that this is the problem that you are running into.
Chocolatey does provide a helper function called refreshenv which would allow you to force the reloading of the environment variables into the current shell, however, this isn't enabled by default. You can find out how to do this by reading the article here:
https://chocolatey.org/docs/troubleshooting#i-cant-get-the-powershell-tab-completion-working
But what it comes down to is that you need to load the following into your PowerShell Profile:
# Chocolatey profile
$ChocolateyProfile = "$env:ChocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyProfile.psm1"
if (Test-Path($ChocolateyProfile)) {
Import-Module "$ChocolateyProfile"
}
Once this is loaded, after seeing output similar to the following when installing a Chocolatey package, you can execute the command refreshenv and the new environment variables will be available in the current shell.
I'd like to schedule a KNIME workflow. The workflow does its job very good as long as I start it from the KNIME GUI application. When I execute the same workflow via command line, java complains that com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
could not be found (ClassNotFoundException).
I invoke it via:
"D:\Progamme\KNIME\knime.exe" -nosplash -application -consoleLog org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -preferences="absolutepathto\preferences.epf" -workflowDir="absolutepathto\workflow"
Since the error message signals missing content in the java CLASSPATH I also tried to add the parameters
-vmargs -classpath .;"absolutepathto/sqljdbc42.jar"
But still I earn a java slap, pointing to the same error...
I also tried to run the command from within the knime.exe's directory and I also tried to add the JAR file to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variable / User Libraries (referenced via the -preference argument). But that had no effect.
Did anybody face the same problems? Maybe with other third party JARs?
It is all about a Database connector that is configured like this:
Does the integrated security maybe force a misleading error?
System spec: KNIME 3.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2
Update - extract from preferences file
/configuration/org.eclipse.core.net/org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=10
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/RECENT_WORKSPACES=<list of some workspaces>

/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_RECENT_WORKSPACES=false
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
Is there maybe a problem due to the fact that it is a shared KNIME instance among several users and the command line execution does not know which workspace has to be chosen? Is the workspace somehow needed and why?
Partial Solution:
I finally managed it but I don't know exactly why it works now. What I did was to load a fresh portable version of KNIME and ran the same commands only changing the executable path to the new portable version. Before that I started the portable version once to set the workspace directory and register the database driver in preferences dialog and .ini file, nothing else, same configuration so far as the shared KNIME instance. What I am really wondering abpout is that from now on the commands are also working with the shared KNIME instance. I really don't know what caused the change that let KNIME find the driver class.
Info
Because I encountered a few more problems within shared environment in KNIME command line mode, that led to undeterministic execution results, I wrote a little .NET library. This gives me more flexibility/control over the workflow execution (which returncodes and error messages occured and so on). You can find it here if you're interested: KnimeNet
I took a very minimal approach:
cd "C:\Program Files\KNIME"
.\knime -nosplash -noexit -consoleLog -reset -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowFile="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.knwf" -preferences="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.epf"
I'm using TFS 2013 and am building an Azure Cloud Service project that I want to package with Nuget so that I can publish to Octopus Deploy. I can't use octopack, because at the moment this is not supported. I'm trying to pass TFS parameters into a post-build batch script so that I can run nuget with -version parameters (which should change with each build).
The problem I'm having is that the batch script does not recognise the TFS build parameters. for example, in the script I want to pass an argument version $(TeamProject)-1.0.0$(Rev:.r), that would give the script the version to set in the package name.
The full nuget package call in the script is:
%nugetPath% push %packagePath%\Veedyo.%version%.nupkg
Passing this into the post-build script path works:
$/Application1/MAIN/Source/.NET/Application1.Package/package.cmd
This is because the source control path is translated into an actual path just after the build completes (and I can see the real path in the log).
However, the Post-build script arguments property in the build, doesn't convert this "$(TeamProject)"-1.0.0"$(Rev:.r)" to the desired value. this leads to an error executing the batch script:
Exception Message: TF270015: 'package.cmd' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '1'. See the build logs for more details
So, does anyone have any idea how to convert add build parameter to the post-build script arguments property?
These macros are not available when you run the script. You can use one the the TF_BUILD environment variables listed here.
Probably, you are looking for TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER, or maybe you have to extract the data you are looking for; in this latter case Powershell can be simpler to use than cmd.exe interpreter.
I know there's a lot of information on here about installing python packages, but I'm quite new to python and I think I need a more "for dummies" level of help.
I was trying to install openpyxl for which as far as I can tell I need easy_install, for which, as far as I can tell, I need setuptools. I tried running the code provided here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools which is supposed to download and install setuptools (and according to some sites, easy_install aswell?) - it runs successfully, but help(modules) doesn't show setuptools or easy_install as modules, I have no idea whats installed and what isn't, or how I'm supposed to install any of it!
Essentially I'm very confused, very frustrated and really need someone to talk me through (in idiot-speak) what I'm supposed to do.
Thankyou!
We all start somewhere, I was there two weeks ago.
I'll assume you're using Python2. I believe Distribute and Pip are recommended for Python3 (which I will be using as examples). I will also assume you are on Windows.
First, python needs to be registered to Path. To check if this has been done automatically, open a command prompt (start -> programs -> accessories), and type 'python', then enter. If it returns the version number, etc, skip down a bit. If it throws an error, you need to add Python to Path.
Adding Python to Path
To add Python to Path on a Windows computer, go to:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Settings -> System Variables
Scroll down to select path, then click edit. Copy the entire line to a text document, and add your install directory for Python.exe (and the scripts folder) using ';' as a delimiter between different directories. Copy this back to Path and save. (Additionally close your command prompt window to reset it.)
For my Windows 7 machine, I added:
;C:\Python33;C:\Python33\scripts;
Take care when editing this file. There are many videos out there describing this in detail if you feel unsure about changing this.
Installing Modules (Such as setup_tools)
Once Python is registered in the Path file, download and unzip setup_tools to a folder within your Python install directory called 'modules'. I use ExtractNow to unzip, as it will unzip twice (as required) automatically.
Open a command prompt window again, and direct it to change directories by typing
cd [directory for module you want to install]
On my computer, this would be
cd C:\Python33\modules\distribute-0.6.40
Again, I use distribute, rather than setup_tools as it sounds like you need would for Python2. Simply use the appropriate directory. Press enter to change the directory.
Once you've entered this and it shows a changed directory, type:
python setup.py install
This indicates that you want to use the program python to use the setup.py file in the specified folder to install the module. This should be successful, and will write many lines of code.
If you want to install other modules, you would install them in a similar way. Python would automatically use setup_tools on your computer to finish each install.
Remember to import at the start of your script when using them to code:
import [module]
Happy Programming!
I have trying to work out with Netbeans for the last two days.
I am writing a scanner program that takes input of the scanner from a file token_list.java.
So How can we give this token_list.java as an argument to the Main file ( Scanner.java).
When I am doing it on the Unix system using command line argument all works fine and well. The problem comes when i am doing it on netbeans.
I have even tried giving the file name token_list.java as an argument in the run properties in the project. But then later i realized that the command line arguments for the run properties are for just giving the inputs rather than the file name.
Update : The command that I give in unix is
$java Scanner input.text
So What I am now trying to do in netbeans is right click on the scanner.java and run it.
But it then gives the error that no arguments have been passed. I am taking the file name in argv
There is a community contributed plugin named NbRunWithArgs https://github.com/tusharvjoshi/nbrunwithargs which will provide you "Run with Arguments" option when you run Java project or a single Java file.
You may want to use this plugin, more details are available on blog post here.
UPDATE (24 mar 2014) This plugin is now available in NetBeans Plugin Portal that means it can be installed from Plugins dialog box from the available plugins shown from community contributed plugins, in NetBeans IDE 8.0
In Netbeans, right-click on your Project name and click Properties
In the "Run", you can define, which class is the main-class, the working directory and arguments
After that, try to run the project, not the class itself !
