Why is ScriptOutput returning empty values in my QAction?

Solved132 views17th June 2025#automationScipt Automation QAction

David Rid [DevOps Enabler]751 16th June 2025 0 Comments

Hello,

I’m working with a QAction in DataMiner where I call an Automation Script using ExecuteScriptMessage.
The script runs fine, and I'm using engine.AddScriptOutput(...) to define specific return values.

____________________________________________________________

Here's how I call the script in my QAction:

var response = protocol.ExecuteScript(message);

string fullMessage = response.ScriptOutput["1"];
string startInfo = response.ScriptOutput["StartTaskUpdated"];

____________________________________________________________

Here's what I do inside the Automation Script:

engine.AddScriptOutput("1", "Example1");
engine.AddScriptOutput("StartTaskUpdated", "Example2");

____________________________________________________________

Even though the script executes successfully, all keys in response.ScriptOutput are either null or "(not set)" in my QAction.

What could be causing this?
Is there a requirement that prevents ScriptOutput from populating correctly? Am I not referencing the content properly?

Some documentation or a code snippet would help me a lot!

Best Regards,

Hi David,

Did you set the script options? If not, we likely do not wait for the script to complete before accessing the output. To avoid this, I believe you need to set the option "DEFER:False".

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Flavio.

That makes sense.
I was looking at the wrong end. Everything works as expected.

Best regards,
