IBM UrbanCode Deploy - Syntax FTW

As per previous posts, I'm tinkering with IBM UrbanCode Deploy : -



This time around, I'm using UCD to install WebSphere Liberty Profile (WLP), using the appropriately named WebSphere Liberty Plugin: -

IBM WebSphere Liberty

One of the steps provided by this Plugin is Install Server Archive which expands a JAR or ZIP file containing the WLP codebase.

This step takes a few mandatory ( indicated below with a red asterisk ) including Source File: -


I specify the Source File property at the Application level: -


but saw this: -

  license=true
  source=wlp-webProfile7-17.0.0.3.zip

… 
  wlpHome=/opt/ibm/WebSphere/Liberty/
  wlpUserDir=

Unzipping server archive in : /opt/ibm/WebSphere/Liberty
Caught: : src '/opt/ibm/UCD/agent/var/work/WLP/wlp-webProfile7-17.0.0.3.zip

when I executed the Component Process.

One of my colleagues immediately spotted the flaw: -

Caught: : src '/opt/ibm/UCD/agent/var/work/WLP/wlp-webProfile7-17.0.0.3.zip
' doesn't exist.


The clue is that there's a space between .zip and the trailing apostrophe.

As he rightly suggested, I'd inserted a Carriage Return / Line Feed ( CR/LF ) in the Application Property.

Once I edited this from: -


to: -


all was well: -

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
