Script passing and StartupPreferences

Administrator

It seems that (in 1.4, not sure about 2.0) if an image is launched with a script (e.g. "cogvm my.image my.st"), StartupPreferences are never run. Is that what's intended?

I just realized, for instance, that all my images that were built by my Jenkins server (which pass a script as above) aren't using my shared cache (which is set in the preferences) and are downloading from http every time, yuck...

Cheers,
Sean

After experimenting a bit, it seems that preferences are loaded after script arguments are handled, so if the script ends in #snapshot:andQuit:, the prefs never get loaded.

I'm thinking the prefs should be loaded before any scripts. For example, I want my shared cache to be set as the package cache before any load scripts are run.

What do y'all think?

indeed, so we have to change the order in the startup list...
