Trouble with Fortigate PropertySource script

I am trying to write a Groovy PropertySource script, which will SSH into Fortigate devices and return the list of available VDOMs. In Putty, I would run the command     config vdom -> Ent...

    Hm, so the issue is that, when executing these commands manually, the question mark itself prompts a response from the target device. I'm not familiar with the library used to perform the SSH session here, but the target device should receive the question mark and spit out the output the same. Do you need to get the output stream instead of the input stream? 

        def rawOut = cmd.getInputStream().text

    Like i said, not familiar with that particular method of connecting via SSH. I use JSch or Expect.

This seems to be working better (at least I can get back data). Now I am running into a problem adding the VDOMs to a list, which I will (eventually) turn into a property. I am getting the following output:

Any idea why, with the code below, I am failing to append "root" and "exit" to the list of VDOMs?

  

import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect

hostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname")
userid = hostProps.get("ssh.user")
passwd = hostProps.get("ssh.pass")
def list = new ArrayList()

try {
    ssh_connection = Expect.open(hostname, userid, passwd)

    ssh_connection.expect("# ")
    ssh_connection.send("config vdom\n")
    ssh_connection.expect("# ")
    cmd_output = ssh_connection.before()

    if (cmd_output =~ /\(vdom\)/) {
        println "in vdom config, running the edit command"
        ssh_connection.send("edit ?\n")
        ssh_connection.expect("# ")
    }

    cmd_output2 = ssh_connection.before()

    println "attempting to parse vdoms"
    cmd_output2.eachLine { line ->
        if (!(line =~ /\<vdom\>/) && !(line =~ /^\s*$/) && !(line =~ "edit") && !(line =~ /\(vdom\)/)) {
            println "adding " + line + " to the list of vdoms"
            list.Add(line)
        }
    }

    ssh_connection.send("\025")
    ssh_connection.send("exit\n")

    println "returning vdoms:"
    println list.join(", ")

    return 0
}
catch (Exception e) {println e;return 1}
finally {if (ssh_connection){ssh_connection.expectClose()}}
