Hello fellow FME enthousiasts,
I've run into an issue with a FME Flow parameter in FME Flow 2024.0.1:
We have a automation that uses an Email-IMAP trigger to scan an email-box.
Whenever a new email with a certain text in the subject gets detected, the automation get's triggered and any attachments are saved to a designated folder under 'Recources/Data’.
Since the e-mail box is being used for several projects i've build in a small workspace that checks the sender, if it is from an unexpected sender the attachments and folder they are in get deleted and the automation stops.
As input I use the ‘Send from Address’ and ‘Email Attachments Folder’ from the automation. With a logger in the automation i checked what the content of the ‘Email Attachments Folder’ is:
$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)Bijlagen POC A5H\20240517134534-POC_dashboard_A5H-Fwd__Jeroen__test_bijlagen-0ac262ed-55a4-4301-b0cc-3a2e53ae76a1.
When I run this through the SystemCaller, with a rmdir command, to remove said folder i get an Error saying it doesn't recognize the folder:
SystemCaller: Command 'rmdir "$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)Bijlagen POC A5H\20240516151844-POC_dashboard_A5H-Fwd__Alliander__test_bijlagen-bcfcebf4-9a7e-4ac9-a3ef-0358c7cbd02d" /s /q' exited with status '3' which may indicate an error
So it doesn't seem to recognize the $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) Parameter part. If I hard code the location it all works fine.
The workaround i'm now using is to use a ParameterFetcher and to replace the $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) part from the automation with the output of the ParameterFetcher.
This doesn't seem to be working as intended, or am I missing something? Can other FME Flow users maybe reproduce the issue?
