Weirdness with if-then-else in jboss-cli on Wildfly 8.1.0

[x046866x]

I am running a cli script and it seems to be ignoring the "else".  Try this:

****************************************************************************

connect

if (outcome == success) of /system-property=ENV:read-resource

  echo "If block"

  /system-property=ENV:read-resource

else

  echo "Else block"

  /system-property=ENV:read-resource

end-if

echo "out"

****************************************************************************

If runs both blocks every time:

****************************************************************************

"If block"

"Else block"

"out"

****************************************************************************

Is that just me?

Also; if you don't put any operation in the block other than the echo you get a "If block is empty" and the script exits with an errorcode=1.

As it turns out; it seems that ALL the echo's are executed, even though the if-else-end is honored properly.

Hi, I'm also facing this issue and after searching a long time for possible workarounds I finally opened a bug: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3662.

I think there's no way getting commands to work as expected in control flows until they fixed it

Stanley,

What I discovered is that the actual execution of the commands within the if-else-endif was honored as expected, but ALL the echos within the blocks were displayed.

Try this (make sure you add the AAA system-property first):

**************************************************************************

connect

if result.value==ELSE of /system-property=AAA:read-resource

  echo "if block"

    /system-property=AAA:write-attribute(name=value,value=IF)

else

  echo "else block"

    /system-property=AAA:write-attribute(name=value,value=ELSE)

end-if

reload

**************************************************************************

You can tinker with the value of AAA using the control panel adn you'll notice that ALL the echo's get displayed, but the properties are updated according to the try/catch.

Yes that's exactly what I mean. This is just a bug and I hope it will be scheduled soon
