Clicking 'Start Now' Fails to run Execution Policy

[vailster]

Describe the bug
Choosing the 'Start Now' option results in an error message.

Python 3

Note: Issues opened without specifying one of the following options will be ignored.

• I am using the macadmins Python distribution that I installed on the affected Mac.
• I am using a Python 3 runtime I installed myself, and I updated the script's shebang to point to the that python3 binary.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the 'Prompt' policy
2. Select Start Now, click ok
3. Get error baked into the script 'A problem occurred processing your request. Please contact your administrator for assistance'

Expected behavior
To run the 'Execution' policy

Error output
'A problem occurred processing your request. Please contact your administrator for assistance'

Just to add, if the execution policy is deferred, it runs fine at the specified deferred time.

👋 @vailster

I believe I've corrected this issue in 32a1308. I was not correctly handling the bytes string returned by jamfHelper after the transition to Python 3.

Would you please copy the latest version of the script from the repository, then try your workflow again? Please let me know the result.

Thanks @haircut - gave it a test this morning. Looks like the error is gone when running the execution policy immediately. But, it seems now that the execution policy doesn't actually start, either immediately or when deferred.

Ignore me, I removed and re-added the script to Jamf again and this time it worked 🎉
Thanks for your help @haircut 🙌

All working 👍
