Run event with different parameters via Chain Reaction

[kranskydog]

In the Run Event API, it is possible to provide custom parameters for a specific job, so I can create an event and pass different parameters each time I run that event.

I want to be able to do the same thing via Chain Reaction - that is, pass parameters to the chained event, so I don't have to create a different event for the same thing with different parameters. I know I can pass data between the chained events, but that is not quite the same.

Is it possible to pass a complete Event Data Object via Chain Reaction the same way it can be done via the API?

Not yet, but I love that idea and I am going to code it up right now. Should be released later tonight.

Not sure what I may be doing wrong, but I can seem to get it to work

I have a plugin that defines 2 parameters PARAM1 and PARAM2

I have an event1 which does

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $PARAM1
echo $PARAM2
echo '{ "chain": "elo3mvp8h02", "chain_params": { "PARAM1": "'$PARAM1'", "PARAM2": "'$PARAM2'" } }'

and the chained event (event2) is just
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $PARAM1
echo $PARAM2

But when I run event1 I get this in the log, but the chained event doesn't get run

Job ID: jlo3n9tzw04

Event Title: Chain event 1

Hostname: apchop01.example.com

Date/Time: 2023/10/24 12:25:10 (GMT+11)

FOO
BAR
{"chain":"elo3mvp8h02","chain_params":{"PARAM1":"FOO","PARAM2":"BAR"}}

Job completed successfully at 2023/10/24 12:25:10 (GMT+11).

End of log.
