Outbound integration on xMatters agent fails with TypeError

Hi,

Following the example to execute a script on an xMatters Agent on Windows for an outbound integration (copy of the example below). I always get an error TypeError: Cannot get property "1" of null

I see the failing line is the "var script = Shell.script...".

Any ideas of what could be the issue???

if (osname.startsWith('Windows'))
{
   // create a script and pass some parameters into it.
   var script = Shell.script(function () {/* REM #### PLACE YOUR .BAT SCRIPT BETWEEN HERE #####
   cd c:\
   dir echo
   echo This user ${user} from ${company}
   echo %date% %time% : Hostname is %computername%
   REM ##### AND HERE #### */ },
   {user: "Mary McBride", company: "xMatters"});

   // Execute it console.log("Output:");

Regards,

Hey RB,

I ran into that a while back as well. I thought they fixed the example script, sorry about that. The issue is you can't have a space between the */ and the closing }.

So try this:

   // create a script and pass some parameters into it.
   var script = Shell.script(function () {/* REM #### PLACE YOUR .BAT SCRIPT BETWEEN HERE ##### 
   cd c:\ 
   dir echo 
   echo This user ${user} from ${company}
   echo %date% %time% : Hostname is %computername%
   REM ##### AND HERE #### */}, // NOTICE THERE IS NO SPACE AFTER THE */
   {user: "Mary McBride", company: "xMatters"});

I'll see if we can update the doc and relax the parser.

Let me know how it goes!

This just recently, today, came in handy for me as well. Thanks for the input Travis :)
