Working with RayFlow PowerShell API

To download files from RayFlow, first you need to define a PowerShell object, which will be the container for files attached to a selected phase or task. After that, use Start-RayFlowFileDownload to invoke web request and subsequent download to a local folder.

This command let supports both single file as a parameter, or many files at once. You can use this property to quickly download all attachments for interesting task, for example the script below download all files in package PKG-000006:

$phase = $project | Get-RayFlowPhase -PhaseName EVAL;

$task = $phase | Get-RayFlowTask -TaskHumanFriendlyId PKG-000006;

Start-RayFlowFileDownload $task.Files -TargetFolder "C:\Downloads"

This will download all files to the C:\Downloads folder, and the results will be passed to the output, so that they can be piped by subsequent commands:

# Below is output of Start-RayFlowFileDownload. There may be more items here!

If you omit the -TargetFolder parameter, the file will be downloaded to a temporary location %Temp%\RayFlowDownloads. Since the results are piped, you can read the exact path by accessing the FullName property from the output:

$file = Start-RayFlowFileDownload -File $task[0].Files
Write-Host $file.FullName;
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\RayFlowDownloads\cdbxp_setup_x64_4.5.7.6499.msi
