Rational Quality Manager CLI Adapter not returning attachments during execution

Question

I have a local bash script that is being executed by RQM through the RQM Command Line Interface Adapter. I want to return some results back into my Test Execution Record as described here:

https://jazz.net/library/article/809

I have a line in the script that should handle this:

echo hypervisors=/tmp/hypv.out >> $qm_AttachmentsFile

However, when I run the TER I end up with the STDOUT from the script as is normal, and another .err file with the following contents:

/home/vance/RQM-scripts/sample1.sh: line 21: $qm_AttachmentsFile: ambiguous redirect

I know that the bash error "ambiguous redirect" is probably due to the qm_AttachmentsFile not existing, but it should!

Any help please?

Answer 1

I modified the script to print the environment out. There is no qm_AttachmentsFile being injected into the environment during runtime:

There's no qm_AttachmentsFile variable in the environment. After checking versions of both the RQM server and the CLI adapter, I believe I have a back level adapter. I am going to try to upgrade the adapter to the latest version and will report back on my results.
