Problems using If specified file exists in job queue

[suew]

Just another issue. I have the same problem if I use the If version of specified file is older/newer than Y, goto X.

You found a bug. Thank you for reporting this. We will have all four of those job queue items fixed in the next release.

In the meantime we have a few custom script integration examples posted at the following links. These examples are written in vbscript, not powershell, but they might help give you some ideas for how you could accomplish your goal. For example if you want to have the job queue check for file existence or file version on a file that is currently failing due to the parenthesis bug/issue you described above, you could use a script that checks for the existence of the file and then returns 0 or 1 depending on whether or not it finds the file. Then in BatchPatch you could create a Deployment job to execute the script, and then insert that Deployment job in the Job Queue right before using the step ‘If previous action failed/errored (returned non-0), goto label:X’ or ‘If previous action was successful (returned 0), goto label:X’
