I am making a new key sequence task and unless I’m doing something wrong It’s not working the way I thought it would. Below is my little scenario.
Linux machine and on the machine is a alias for the username. we’ll call it $user in the royalts document is a custom field $customfield1$ that has the command date.
The key sequence looks like this
$user
$CustomField1${ENTER}
However when I run it, it runs the $user variable and outputs the correct info but when it tries to run the $CustomField1$ command I get the following on my screen.
server:~$ $CustomField1$
$: command not found
How come when you run a alias in linux it works but the next line simply tries to type in $CustomField1$ in the terminal instead of passing in what $CustomField1$ actually is. Which is simply the date command.
I was expecting it to send the $user variable and the value in $CustomField1$
If I change it a little bit and run a non variable first it works correctly.
Key sequence:
uptime
$CustomField1${ENTER}
It passes in uptime (enter) and then $CustomField1$(date) Enter and I get the following like I would expect.
server:~$ uptime
16:19:54 up 92 days, 54 min, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.02
server:~$ date
Fri Jan 18 16:19:54 UTC 2019
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I would love to be able to mix running environment variables and custom fields in the same key sequence task.
