Feature request: Companion variables in remote shell commands #72

Closed minkpan closed 1 year ago

minkpan commented 1 year ago

I don’t know whether this is easily achievable, but I would like to be able to trigger a shell command on a remote computer that uses a companion variable from the originating machine. In my use case, this is for creating a log of the day’s recordings on the computer being used to review content. Currently, the script that I have working locally is echo ‘$(internal:custom_recorder)’ >> ~/Desktop/recorder.csv but when run remotely, it only ever populates $(internal:custom_recorder) in the csv.

This should be working already, which version of companion are you using?

This was in 2.4.2. I’ve finally convinced my company to let me roll out a Companion demo I built for our workflow, and I can’t sell them on even trying a beta yet. I do have one 3.0 build on my network though - I’ll see if it works from there when I’m home, and report back if it doesn’t. Thanks!

Tried out the latest build of 3.0, and it works beautifully there, thanks for pointing me to it! I guess I’ll just have to be patient for the 3.0 Stable for now.
