Hi,

I want to copy file from directories where the directory names come from a loop.
If I do this I receive the following exception:


That's strange because the copy task is in the loop.
The sourcefolder includes the {LOOP(CurrentValueX)} variable to get the current value (just as the other tasks in the loop).

Am I making a mistake here?

Erik

Could you export a sample Job and send to us?

Looks like it has to do with my file mask.

I have now a variable in there. It's an output of a .net task showing the last month/year in mmmyy format.
If I use *.* the task runs fine..

We haven't had a time to look at this yet. Is this still a bug?

---

I think this is still an issue yes,

The include file mask can look like this, right?

*_DETAIL_OZ_{TASK(68e9e286-c338-4e9e-b564-44b0ddddb5c2,StdOut)}.csv

If I remove the {TASK...} than it works, but I copy too much files.
I have to use a variable here. Variables in a file mask are allowed right?

Yes, but I think you need to analyze the output of that Task in a text editor so that it does not contain any new lines or not allowed characters. I recommend writing it to a file and check in Notepad++.

I used the file write task to check this.

The value of the .net output of the task I need is: MRT12

If I put in:

{TASK(68e9e286-c338-4e9e-b564-44b0ddddb5c2,StdOut)}{TASK(68e9e286-c338-4e9e-b564-44b0ddddb5c2,StdOut)}

I have in my output file this line:

MRT12MRT12

So it looks no funny characters and no linebreak.
Must be something else.

Strange...

If I use the filemask:

*_DETAIL_OZ_*{DATEFORMAT(yy)}.csv

It works fine, but I copy too much files, so variables are allowed.

If I'm using the regex and use the following:

.*_DETAIL_OZ_{TASK(68e9e286-c338-4e9e-b564-44b0ddddb5c2,StdOut)}\.csv

I still reveice the same error. So it looks like somekind of .net task output problem?

Could you write the output to a file and send the file to us?

Hi,

I want to copy file from directories where the directory names come from a loop.
If I do this I receive the following exception:

Exception in Task: Could not find a part of the path 'G:\xxxx\[Current context (running Task) is not in a loop]'.
Exception in Task: No file(s) copied

That's strange because the copy task is in the loop.
The sourcefolder includes the {LOOP(CurrentValueX)} variable to get the current value (just as the other tasks in the loop).

Am I making a mistake here?

I tried using different Variables but I never got the error above. It should only occur if you use any LOOP Variable outside of a loop.

I had to simplify your sample as I do not know what the executables do and the exact output. I will send you my simplified example and maybe you can tell the difference.

Hi Henrick,

I looked at the job you sended me.

There is a difference here. You are using the output of the .NET task as the looping source. I'm having an other task for this.
This task is a dir listing task. The output is a list of directory names.

In every directory listed there are files names [prefix]_DETAIL_OZ_[mmmyy].csv
The mmmyy is made by the .NET task.

In the file copy I need to copy all the matching files from a particular directory into an other temp directory for further processing.
That's why I need the output of the .NET task as a file mask.

I tried this also in the current 6.1.0 beta version and same issue:

Exception in Task: Could not find a part of the path 'F:\temp\[Current context (running Task) is not in a loop]'.
Exception in Task: No file(s) copied


Here a quick setup of the three tasks:

1. command task.
command: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Arguments: /c dir /b /A:D /O:N
working dir: f:\temp
2. .NET task giving the last month year combination in mmmyy
3. copy file task
source folder: F:\temp\{LOOP(CurrentValueX)}
Include file mask: *{TASK([id of task2],StdOut)}.txt
destination folder: f:\test

Looping on the 3rd task with the for each on the output of the 1st task.


This should give you the same error.

Erik

I think we should use the chat because that might be faster in this case.

I would like to know what the outcome of this was.

I would like to know what the outcome of this was.

The problem was a bug that could occur if two Variables were used in one Task where one of the Variables is a loop Variable. This could cause a confusion of which was the current Task and refer to the wrong one. We have made a fix for this and will publish this fix in the beta 6.1.0 later today.

---

Looks like it is fixed in the 6.1.0 beta.

Thanks!

Erik
