Input Parameters JSON Format

Input Parameters JSON Format

When using the -i or --input_path parameter to pass input arguments to your process or test set, you need to provide a JSON file with the following structure:

[
  {
    "name": "first",
    "type": "System.String, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e",
    "value": "\"parameterValue1\""
  },
  {
    "name": "second",
    "type": "System.Int32, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e",
    "value": "12"
  },
  {
    "name": "third",
    "type": "System.Boolean, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e",
    "value": "true"
  }
]

Each parameter object must contain:

• name - The parameter name as defined in your workflow
• type - The fully qualified .NET type name including assembly information
• value - The parameter value

Understanding the type field

The type field specifies the .NET data type of the parameter. This is crucial for the CLI to correctly interpret and pass the value to your workflow. The type must be the fully qualified assembly name, which includes:

• The type name (e.g., System.String, System.Int32, System.Boolean)
• The assembly where the type is defined
• Assembly metadata (version, culture, public key token)

Common examples:

• String: System.String, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e
• Integer: System.Int32, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e
• Boolean: System.Boolean, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e

Dica:

To obtain the correct type information for your parameters, you can inspect the workflow's .xaml file or use reflection tools to get the fully qualified type name from your .NET assemblies.
