Local json file to fill "allowed values" option in Rundeck

Question

I have a list of options in json format residing within Rundeck's server which I would like to use for filling out the "Allowed values" parameter in a new option. The documentation states: "It must be accessible via HTTP(S) or on the local disk for the Rundeck server.", but sticking the path of the file fails the option generation and I could not see any example of it.

Would someone have an idea?

Thanks in advance

You need to use file:\ to access the file locally (at "Allowed values"), take a look at this example:

video.json file:

[
 {"name":"youtube", "value":"youtube.com"},
 {"name":"twitch", "value":"twitch.tv"}
]

job definition file (here how to import to your Rundeck instance for testing):

<joblist>
  <job>
    <context>
      <options preserveOrder='true'>
        <option enforcedvalues='true' name='video_service' valuesUrl='file:/path/to/video.json' />
      </options>
    </context>
    <defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
    <description></description>
    <executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
    <id>4be0ef08-889a-4366-ba29-0b0302fb5391</id>
    <loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
    <name>AllowedValues</name>
    <nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
    <plugins />
    <scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
    <sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
      <command>
        <exec>echo "video platform: ${option.video_service}"</exec>
      </command>
    </sequence>
    <uuid>4be0ef08-889a-4366-ba29-0b0302fb5391</uuid>
  </job>
</joblist>

Here how the job looks and here the result.
