Unrecognized Guid format when using Open-RDMSession Powershell

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

What type of data source are you using?

Additionally, could you provide me with some additional details on what you are looking to achieve with this? Is the end goal to be able to launch only a specific website entry using PowerShell or are you looking to start entries without using the GUI?

Let me know,

Best regards,

Data Source is SQLite.

End-goal is to have the user execute a local Powershell session that generates a unique URL, and then have that unique URL opened up in an embedded website session.

I'm trying to get Open-RDMSession to work in general, so I'm just testing using a website entry that is statically set to https://google.com, before I attempt to use Set-RDMSession to update the WebBrowserUrl and then open the session.

Thank you for the reply!

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

Does the following work for you?

Write-Output "start test"
# Exact name match
$entry = Get-RDMSession -LiteralName "Website"

# Get a real GUID 
$guid = [guid]($entry.ID.ToString().Trim('{}() []"''').Trim())

# Launch 
Open-RDMSession -Embedded -ID  $guid -Silent

Write-Output "End Test"

Let me know

That code outputs:

No exceptions generated in the Application logs.

It looks like this all boils down to passing the correct Guid format. I figured this code would have worked since you're trimming everything and then passing it to Open-RDMSession as a proper guid object.

Thank you for the assistance so far!
