I have an xml file (CSCFG File) like below
XML File:
<Role name="Role1">
<Instances count="2" />
<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="Key1" value="123456" />
<Setting name="Key2" value="1234567890" />
<Setting name="Key3" value="true" />
</ConfigurationSettings>
<Certificates>
</Certificates>
</Role>
I need to add multiple certificate elements inside certificates node.
To be XML:
<Role name="Role1">
<Instances count="2" />
<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="Key1" value="123456" />
<Setting name="Key2" value="1234567890" />
<Setting name="Key3" value="true" />
</ConfigurationSettings>
<Certificates>
<Certificate name="certificate1" thumbprint="12345678" />
<Certificate name="certificate2" thumbprint="01234567" />
<Certificate name="certificate3" thumbprint="09876543" />
</Certificates>
</Role>
I am trying to do it with the below code
$xmlDoc = [System.Xml.XmlDocument](Get-Content $configFile);
$xmlDoc.Role.Certificates.AppendChild($xmlDoc.CreateElement("Certificate"));
$newXmlCertificate.SetAttribute(“name”,$certName);
$newXmlCertificate.SetAttribute(“thumbprint”,$CertThumbprint);
$xmlDoc.save($configFile)
This is the exceptions am getting while doing it: Method invocation failed because [System.String] does not contain a method named 'AppendChild'.
Please help me out.
That's because the Certificates
property returns a string:
25> $xmlDoc.Role.Certificates.GetType().FullName
System.String
Because the element is a leaf element with no attributes, PowerShell simplifies the representation of the element to a string property that contains the element's content. You can get what you want by working around like this:
26> [xml]$xmlDoc = @'
>>> <Role name="Role1">
>>> <Instances count="2" />
>>> <ConfigurationSettings>
>>> <Setting name="Key1" value="123456" />
>>> <Setting name="Key2" value="1234567890" />
>>> <Setting name="Key3" value="true" />
>>> </ConfigurationSettings>
>>> <Certificates>
>>> </Certificates>
>>> </Role>
>>> '@
27> $certElem = $xmlDoc.CreateElement('Certificate')
28> $certElem.SetAttribute('name','certificate1')
29> $certElem.SetAttribute('thumbprint','12345678')
30> $xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode('/Role/Certificates').AppendChild($certElem)
31. $xmlDoc.Save($configFile)
Thanks for that Keith, however i had some other issue as the cscfg file has a namespace.
The below code made it work without any issues. But this is when the xml is tied up to a namespace, specially in a CSCFG File in Azure Deployments
$xmlDoc = [System.Xml.XmlDocument](Get-Content $configFile);
$ns = New-Object System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager($xmlDoc.NameTable)
$ns.AddNamespace("ns", $xmlDoc.DocumentElement.NamespaceURI)
$node = $xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//ns:Certificates", $ns)
$newNode = $xmlDoc.CreateElement("Certificate");
$newNode.SetAttribute('name',"certificate1")
$newNode.SetAttribute('value',"12345678")
$node.AppendChild($newNode)
$xmlDoc.save($configFile)
Thanks!!
