2025-02-24 PSAAS-22171 App packaged on MacOS: App's TGZ file might contain MacOS metadata, so SOAR cannot load the app's JSON

Workaround:
The problem stems from MacOS creating hidden files with binary data and ".json" extensions, with names that start with "._".

Workarounds include:

  • When creating a custom app package on MacOS, add a command line flag "--no-mac-metadata" to the tar command used to package the app. This will exclude the offending files from the package and allow it to function properly when uploaded to Splunk SOAR.
  • When an app containing these metadata files is packaged for export by the Splunk SOAR app editor, hidden files are ignored. So you can exclude the extraneous metadata files by exporting an existing app package from Splunk SOAR and reinstalling it via the package upload UI.

Note: If the affected app is configured to run on an Automation Broker, you might need to force the Automation Broker to redownload the app from SOAR by either incrementing the app's version number or by deleting the app's directory in your broker's "splunk_data" volume.

2025-01-29 PSAAS-21645 VPE Data Preview: Quick action menu does not produce usable data paths in real view

2024-02-22 PSAAS-16477 Podman does not currently work with redirected image URLs due to Docker Hub authentication token changes

Workaround:

2023-12-11 PSAAS-15750 VPE: Downstream block invoked twice from join between two upstream code blocks

Workaround:
Detach one of the upstream blocks and run the blocks in sequence to avoid a join.
