Get-OctopusVariableSet). Here's a gist of doing it for a variableset object, it's not complete but it will give you the idea: https://gist.github.com/JamesDawson/54a09171911403e4bb68c8bd292031e7 Whilst I could write a bunch of functions to do this, it just struck me that it would be way more efficient to write all the instantiation code in C#... unless I'm missing something and there is already an easier way?
This snippet should work

In your code I can see you are creating some objects from the Octoposh namespace. You should never do that, as the Octoposh objects are just translations of the actual Octopus objects for the human eyes.
If you want to create/update/delete anything in Octopus, you need to use Octopus objects.
-resourceOnly? That tells the cmdlet to return the actual Octopus resource, instead of the Octoposh object. Later on I add the variable (again an Octopus object, this time of the type Octopus.client.model.variableResource) to the Octopus resource, and finally I pass the variable set Octopus object ($variableSet) to Update-OctopusResource
-resourceOnly parameter is super importante and a bit obscure atm. I've been trying to write documentation about it for ages but I always forget. I'll try to get it done this week.
Get-OctopusResourceModel cmdlet which will simplify creating my mock objects if I change my script to use -ResourceOnly throughout. Many thanks for the pointer.
Get-OctopusResourceModel that made life easier when using it to create the test data objects I was talking about above... see what you think.
- The removal of the
BeginProcessingmethod is something I already did in my refactoring branch :) https://github.com/Dalmirog/OctoPosh/blob/enh_addingGenericFunctions/Octoposh/Cmdlets/GetOctopusResourceModel.cs
As for the addition of VariableSetResource: In Octopus a VariableSetResource is a type of object that holds a collection of variables. This VariableSetResource can belong to 2 other different kinds of objects:
1 - a ProjectResource
2 - a LibraryVariableSetResource
A VariableSetResource object doesn't exist by itself, but only as a child object of these 2. Therefore the only organic way to create a VariableSetResource must be through the creation of either a ProjectResource or a LibraryVariableSet resource.
For that reason in the snippet I gave you in line 10 I'm creating a LibraryVariableSet, and then in line 13 I'm getting the VariableSetResource that was associated with the LibraryVariableSet that I previously created. I'm never directly creating a VariableSetResource.
I'm afraid that if the module gives users the ability to create orphan an VariableSetResource , It'll confuse more ppl than it would help. Advanced users such as yourself should be able to work around this by creating a VariableSetResource using raw powershell like new-object Octopus.Client.Model.VariableSet
That said, I'm curious of how are you setting up your tests in a way that you need to create an orphan VariableSetResource like this.
/api/variables) so I don't see it has inherently wrong - presumably the API has consistency checks to ensure that the 'OwnerId' property is valid to avoid actual orphans?.
New-* cmdlets would be an effective way of leading them into the 'pit of success' of only creating the right types objects?
Update-OctopusResource - mocking a function in Pester doesn't override its parameter validation so when I attempted to use my original mock object (a hashtable that mimicked the required properties), it didn't match the required type Octopus.Client.Mode.Resource.
"Octoposh.Model.OutputOctopusRelease" to type "Octopus.Client.Model.Resource".
@Dalmirog any example on how to delete releases? I am trying Remove-OctopusResource -Resource $release but it is throwing error Remove-OctopusResource : Cannot bind parameter 'Resource'. Cannot convert the "Octoposh.Model.OutputOctopusRelease" value of type
"Octoposh.Model.OutputOctopusRelease" to type "Octopus.Client.Model.Resource". hey @Dalmirog not sure if you had chance to look into this. Appreciate your help.

New-OctopusAPIKey - I simply didn't port this cmdlet after porting things to C#. I have #259 open for it. I'll do it this week as I've been asked about it quite enough :)
Environment question - Not sure Im following this one. Which cmdlet are you running and what you mean by "skip 10"
calling API directly - Yes you can run $c = new-Octopusconnection. Then you could do $c.repository.projects.findall() for example to get all the projects. $c will be an object that holds an authenticated connection with your Octopus instance. Is this what you needed?
@jigneshjdesai about using Octo.exe delete-releases, here's do documentation for it: https://octopus.com/docs/api-and-integration/octo.exe-command-line/deleting-releases
Remember that you can download Octo.exe using Octoposh as explained here: http://octoposh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advancedexamples/running-deployments-with-octoposh/
Something like;
$OctopusParameters['Deployment.Hostnames']
server1.example.com,server2.example.com
For some reason $OctopusParameters doesn't include this.
The closest thing is $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Deployment.Machines']
This returns the internal machine Id's like "machine123,machine124".
I'm not sure what use I would have for these, but I came to Octoposh thinking that something like:
Get-OctopushMachine -Id "machine123"
- would work. Alas, it does not. Where should I be looking to get these hostnames? Should Octoposh be able to take an Id parameter?
The version that comes with the module is 4.22.0 and the latest version they use is 4.31.1 . This appears to be breaking a few functions, such as Get-OctopusTeam . Any plans to upgrade to the latest version of Octopus?
Hello, I need some help with Get-OctopusDeployment. I am using Octopus 3.4.13 and Octoposh 0.6.11.
I have a project and environment that have 34 deployments listed in the DeploymentHistory table in the database. Get-OctopusDeployment throws this error when I try
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-OctopusDeployment -ProjectName Myproject -EnvironmentName Myproject_prod
Get-OctopusDeployment : Nullable object must have a value.
At line:1 char:1
- Get-OctopusDeployment -ProjectName Myproject -EnvironmentName Myproject_prod ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-OctopusDeployment], InvalidOperationException
- FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.InvalidOperationException,Octoposh.Cmdlets.GetOctopusDeployment
Get-OctopusDeployment works fine for other projects with either more or fewer deployments. The project with errors has Successful, Failed and Cancelled deployments. That is also the case with projects that do not have errors.
Our product has 50 projects and I would love to be able to automate the process of setting up new customers.
I am tired of doing this manually.
Any help greatfully received. Thanks
