extract_capabilities.sh script throws error

[William Flow]

I use the script found at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamkb/how-to-export-a-remote-agent-capability-list-to-bamboo-capatilities-properties-format-1108676050.html

#!/bin/bash
USER=admin
PASS=admin
BAMBOO_SERVER="https://bamboo80.mydomain.net"
CURL="curl -s -k -X GET"
DELIMITER="@#CaPaBiliTy#@" # Set this to a string you know that will not appear on any Agent name
AGENTS=$(${CURL} -u ${USER}:${PASS} "${BAMBOO_SERVER}/rest/api/latest/agent/remote" | jq -r '.[] | .name|=gsub(" "; "_") | [.id, .name] | join('\"${DELIMITER}\"')')

get_capability() {
  ${CURL} -u ${USER}:${PASS} "${BAMBOO_SERVER}/rest/api/latest/agent/${1}/capability" \
    | jq -r '.[] | .key|=gsub(" "; "\\ ") | .value|=gsub("\\\\";"\\\\") | [.key, .value] | join("=")' | sort
}

for AGENT in ${AGENTS[@]}; do
  agent=(${AGENT/${DELIMITER}/ });
  get_capability ${agent[0]} > bamboo-capabilities.properties-${agent[1]}
done

I edit it with my username, password, and site, set it as an executable then run it and get error:

parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 10

Shouldn't something you post on your site work out of the box?

Hello @William Flow

That's a jq message. It means the input is not the one expected by the filter. Have you tried running each part of the script individually without piping it to jq and seeing the results?

As noted on the page, that script requires jq 1.6. Make sure to use that version or later.

I checked it looked right but no problem I re-wrote the script to make it work
