Scrip execution goes on for infinite time in jenkins powershell plugin - powershell

Question

I am able to execute powershell script on machine but not able to do it using jenkins powershell plugin
My powershell script executes another program's UI (QlikView) and then closes it it works when I execute script directly on machine. But when I do the same using jenkins powershell plugin it does not work the execution goes on for infinite time.
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
$FullQvwPath
)
function qv-SaveAndClose-QVW
{
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
$QvwPath
)
try {
$qvComObject = new-object -comobject QlikTech.QlikView
$NewCreatedDoc = $qvComObject.CreateDoc()
$NewCreatedDoc.SaveAs($QvwPath)
$NewCreatedDoc.CloseDoc()
$qvComObject.Quit()
}
finally {
}
}
qv-SaveAndClose-QVW -QvwPath $FullQvwPath
I have put above code in file - QlikSaveAndClose.ps1
.\QlikSaveAndClose.ps1 -FullQvwPath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\Dashboard.qvw

Answer 1

Could it be that the file already exists? In that case SaveAs is prompting to overwrite the file. So, remove it first. Also place the Quit in the finally so the comobject is always closed, even on errors. And while we're at it, only use approved Verb-Noun names for your cmdlets:
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[String] $FullQvwPath
)
function Save-QVW
{
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
[String] $Path
)
$qvComObject = New-Object -ComObject "QlikTech.QlikView"
try
{
$newCreatedDoc = $qvComObject.CreateDoc()
if (Test-Path -Path $Path)
{
Remove-Item -Path $Path -Force
}
$newCreatedDoc.SaveAs($Path)
$newCreatedDoc.CloseDoc()
}
finally
{
$qvComObject.Quit()
}
}
Save-QVW -Path $FullQvwPath
