Test your RightScale script without creating unnecessary revisions

There are certain functions in RightScale scripts (RightScripts) that you cannot test without launching a new instance. To test your script:

1. Edit the Head revision of the RightScale script and save it,
   
2. Attach the Head revision of the RightScale script to the Head revision of the RightScale Server Template,
   1. Select the Head revision of the server template, on the Scripts tab click the Modify button
      
   2. Click the rev dropdown next to the script’s name and select head
      
3. In your Self Service CAT file reference revision 0 (zero) of the Server Template (Head revision),
   ( “server_template_revision”  => “0”, )
4. Upload the Self Service CAT file to Self Service, but do not publish it,
5. Launch a server instance from Self Service using the RightScale Self-Service Designer page, not the Catalog.

If the script has some errors, modify the Head revision of the RightScale script and launch a new server instance using the RightScale Self-Service Designer page.

When the script works perfectly:

1. Commit the RightScale script, creating a new RightScale script revision,
2. Attach the committed revision of the RightScale script to the Server Template’s Head revision,
3. Commit the Server Template, creating a new Server Template revision,
4. Publish the new revision of the Server Template,
5. Reference the new revision of the Server Template in your Self Service CAT file.
