Troubleshooting¶

Run into trouble with Cloud Scripting? Here are some helpful tips and specific suggestions for troubleshooting as follows:

• Log in to your Virtuozzo Application Platform dashboard and open the link of the following type in a new browser tab.

  http://app.{HOSTER_URL}/console/

  Here, substitute {HOSTER_URL} with the platform domain of your hosting provider (see the last column of the table within the Hosters Info page).

• In the opened browser tab, you will see the Cloud Scripting execution log.

Below, you can find some samples of editing custom information to the log:

• outputting a single placeholder value

type: update
name: LogTest

onInstall:
  log:
    - Hello
    - ${user.email}

{
  "type": "update",
  "name": "LogTest",
  "onInstall": {
    "log": [
      "Hello",
      "${user.email}"
    ]
  }
}

• outputting all the placeholders

type: update
name: LogTest

onInstall:
  log: ${placeholders}

{
  "type": "update",
  "name": "LogTest",
  "onInstall": {
    "log": "${placeholders}"
  }
}

All dynamic placeholders in ${placeholders} value are updated immediately after any action. Also placeholders will be updated automatically before displaying ${placeholders} value into console.

• outputting from a script

type: update
name: LogTest

onInstall:
  script:
    type: js
    script: "http://example.com/script.js"

actions:
  - myaction:
      log: ${this.message}

{
  "type": "update",
  "name": "LogTest",
  "onInstall": {
    "script": {
      "type": "js",
      "script": "http://example.com/script.js"
    }
  },
  "actions": [
    {
      "myaction": {
        "log": "${this.message}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

script.js body:

var message = 'Hello';

return { 
    result: 0, 
    onAfterReturn: {
        call: [{
            action: 'myaction', 
            params: {
                message: message
            } 
        }, {
            action: 'myaction',
            params: {
                message: 'World !'
            }
        }] 
    } 
};

loggerName¶

When installing any JPS, the logger name is displayed next to the time in each line of the log. By default, the name of the logger is determined by the parameter name inside the JPS manifest:

If the parameter name consists of more than two words, the name of the logger is formed by the first and last word with a dot as a delimiter:

If you start the asynchronous installation of several identical JPSs, the name of logger may be overridden with loggerName parameter for each JPS in order to distinguish different JPS installation logs.

• inside install action: Example 1

install:
  - jps: https://example.com/manifest.jps
    loggerName: Test 1

  - jps: https://example.com/manifest.jps
    loggerName: Test 2

Example 2

install:
  - loggerName: Test 1
    jps: 
      type: install
      name: test
      onInstall: 
        log: Test    

  - loggerName: Test 2
    jps:
      type: install
      name: test
      onInstall: 
        log: Test

• with parameter of API request:

api.marketplace.jps.Install({
  jps: "https://example.com/manifest.jps",
  loggerName: "Test 1"
});

Current Step¶

To simplify debugging, the number of the current step is added to the logs. As you can see from the examples above, the step number follows the logger name and a colon.

separate log for each node in group¶

In case the engine splits action execution into separate requests, the logging is performed for each node separately. For example:

• asynchronous execution

cmd [cp, bl]: echo test

• synchronous execution

sync: true
cmd [cp, bl]: echo test

warning¶

The warnings are highlighted with orange.

onInstall:
  return:
    type: warning
    message: Warning message!
