Capture - Run Command Tool Error

Hi Team,

 

I am using Run Command tool to download file from Azure Blob. 

 

In case, I specify incorrect details in Run Command tool, it results in an error.

 

However, I do not want my workflow to fail but instead, it should capture the error and output in some file (e.g. JSON or XLS).

 

Also, the error which we get "Error: Run Command (4): The external program "cmd" returned an error code: 1" is not descriptive enough to tell user, what actually went wrong. 

Is it also possible to get the correct error message?

 

Is it something that's feasible.

 

Kr,

Amit

The Run Command error message is not very descriptive, unfortunately. All it tells you that whatever you tried to do didn't work!

 

Since the Run command tool can execute many different scripts, it can't give you any more specific error messages.

 

You can try and build your own descriptions with the message tool.
