Issues in v0.9.600.163

Hi Paul,

I installed v0.9.600.163 last week and have noticed some issues I thought I should report.

There used to be a variable called PackageRoot which seems to have disappeared - I have worked around this but am a bit concerned as to why it disappeared in the first place and whether it will re-appear at some point? Secondly, there is a variable named ‘AppRoot’ from which I could build up an equivalent to PackageRoot, however I’m not convinced it points to the right location - I expected it to point at the Tentacles Applications folder, which in my install is on drive D, but AppRoot reports drive C. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what AppRoot should be reporting?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

This was a breaking change introduced a little while ago in this releases -

https://octopus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OctopusReleases/0.9.568.2630

To create some consistency in variable names (and avoid using names that might be used by applications) all variables were renamed:

https://octopus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/help/Variables

In this case the variable to use would be $OctopusPackageDirectoryPath.

Now that the variables are consistent I’ll be maintaining backwards compatibility for them going forward. Sorry this one caused problems for you!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for that - I’ll read the release notes in future! :slight_smile:
