command-prompt gives response but autoit doesn't

[adamchapman]

I have installed the amazon command-line interface (http://aws.amazon.com/cli/)  and have it working in my cmd prompt dos window. For example, If I set the working directory  to C:UsersAdministrator and run the command below to upload a file to the S3 service:

 

aws s3 cp C:UsersAdministratorDesktopvpntimeout_text.txt s3:/clustertesting/vpntimeout_text.txt

 

I get the response:

 

upload: myfolder/file1.txt to s3:/mybucket/myfolder/file1.txt

 

 

However, trying to replicate the same command in Autoit with :

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

#include <Constants.au3>

 

;$ami_ID = "ami-1a0d912a"

;$n=1

 

; Command:

;$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & ' /k' & "aws ec2 run-instances " & $ami_ID &  " -n " & $n & " -k windows --instance-type t1.micro -g quicklaunch-1", "", "", $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

 

 

 

 

$workingdir = "C:UsersAdministrator"

 

 

 

ConsoleWrite($DOS & @CRLF)

 

 

 

Local $output

While 1

    $line = StdoutRead($DOS)

    If @error Then ExitLoop

    ConsoleWrite($line)

Wend

 

 

ConsoleWrite($line & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("error = " & @error & @CRLF)

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

The dos window flashes up and a PID is returned in $DOS, and the error value is zero. However, unlike my command performed in the command prompt, the autoit version does not upload my file to S3 and does not print a response.

 

 

Does anyone see what I've done wrong in Autoit? From what I can tell me code should be performing the same command

 

sorry I haven't used the code editor for this post- it failed to work in two browsers o I ended up just pasting the raw text

the editor on this forum is acting strange. 

my command prompt is :

 

aws s3 cp C:UsersAdministratorDesktopvpntimeout_text.txt s3:/clustertesting/vpntimeout_text.txt

 

and the response is:

 

upload: myfolder/file1.txt to s3:/mybucket/myfolder/file1.txt

but nothing comes back in autoit

I can't figure out why the commands are blank in both  posts above, but I've made a batch file with the command in it...

 

aws s3 cp C:UsersAdministratorDesktopvpntimeout_text.txt s3:/clustertesting/vpntimeout_text.txt

 

If I double-click the batch file it runs perfectly. However even using ShellExecuteWait("mybatch.bat") doesn't work from autoit. Autoit Doesn't appear to wait for a response before closing the process. 

This is very odd

Instead of posting new posts, edit your first post.

Also, use code tags around your script code, it's hard to read the way you have it.

It is really hard to understand your post ;-), first you show an aws s3 cp command and then you pasted a script used to execute another aws command....

1.- What is $workingdir variable for? You declared it but you don't use it at all.

2.- I don't know what the error is but the command is giving you some error... you can't see it because you are not reading StdErr output.

3.- It always show you 0 as result because it is catching this error from previous ConsoleWrite command.

So, try this and check what the error is:

#include <Constants.au3>

$ami_ID = "ami-1a0d912a"
$n=1

; Command:
$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & ' /k ' & "aws ec2 run-instances " & $ami_ID &  " -n " & $n & " -k windows --instance-type t1.micro -g quicklaunch-1", "", "", $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

;$workingdir = "C:\Users\Administrator"

ConsoleWrite($DOS & @CRLF)
Local $output
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($DOS)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite($line)
Wend
While 1
    $line = StderrRead($DOS)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite($line)
Wend

ConsoleWrite("error = " & @error & @CRLF)
