Variable Preview Not Usable

licenses · July 7, 2021, 4:47pm

Variable preview for a project is basically unusable when we have json variable values. The Name field is the same width as the value field so you have to scroll way to the right (then you can’t see the name). Not sure why they use the same width for these columns.

Hi @licenses,

Thank you for contacting Octopus Support. I’m sorry you are running into this.

This is a known issue you may find more information on here:

As an alternative, here is a PowerShell script you can use that you may find easier in this situation:

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/REST/PowerShell/Variables/GetVariableInProject.ps1

#Returns the variable value based on space. If you want the variable scoped, you must provide environment name and spaceId
Function Get-VariableValue {
    param(
        $Options,
        $VariableSet,
        $VariableName,
        $Environment
    )

    $outputVariable = $null
    $envScopeValueSet = $False
    $foundEnvironmentWithinVariable = $false

    if ($Environment) {
        $environmentList = Invoke-RestMethod "$($Options.OctopusUrl)/environments/all" -Headers $Options.Headers
        $environment = $environmentList | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $environment }
        $environmentId = $environment.Id
    }

    #Find matching varable by name
