Error compiling test apps - Error downloading Microsoft_Tests-ERM_24.0.0.0.app

[BennoVendrig]

PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PASSWORDS OR TOKENS IN YOUR ISSUE!!!

Describe the issue
Normal apps are compiling correctly in a DevOps pipeline but the testapp is compiling with de dependency of the Microsoft_Tests-ERM app. I've done serveral settings but unfortunately nothing is working.

• Latest version of BCContainerHelper 6.0.26
• Install Microsoft_Tests-ERM app by adding the path in the installTestApps of installApps
• Increase memory to 12G
• setting installTestLibraries true and false doesn't fix the issue
• setting installTestFramework true and false in combination with installTestLibraries doesn't fix the issue

The strange part is in the resolving dependencies area before starting to compile the test apps the dependency is known.

Below the error:

The log you posted in 1026 doesn't has:

2024-10-19T07:17:27.9474246Z Install Test Runner             False

2024-10-19T07:17:27.9557964Z Install Perf. Toolkit           False

meaning that it will actually fail on:

You should set InstalltestLibraries to true as the first thing.

But...
Install Test Libraries doesn't include the ERM tests - nothing does.

What you need is also to set installTestApps to the path of the ERM tests. I think you can specify the path inside the container preceeded by a colon, like:

-installTestApps @(':C:\Applications\BaseApp\Test\Microsoft_Tests-ERM.app')

Please find the right path of that.
If it still doesn't work, supply the log of a build with these changes, thanks

Hi Freddy,
Thanks for the quick response.

I've set the setting InstalltestLibraries to True and include the ERM app in the installTestApps setting. Unfortunately the pipeline fails. See the attached log.Pipeline script v2.txt

Benno

[freddydk]

As you can see in the log, the test libraries are now successfully installed and the failing part is when you then install the ERM app, it is taken from your own folder and that fails - not sure why.
You could try to create a container yourself and install the app to see why this is happening.
You could also use the app from the artifacts like suggested- you should though use the NL version of the ERM app instead of the W1 version.
(ERM version is under applicatoins.NL/Microsoft_Tests-ERM_24.5.x.y.app)

[freddydk]

Added these settings to one of my repos:

  "installTestLibraries": true,
  "installTestApps": [ ":C:\\Applications.US\\Microsoft_Tests-ERM_*.app" ],
  "installOnlyReferencedApps": false

(the last is because I don't have a reference to ERM)

and I get:

Hi Freddy,

Unfortunately this is not working. I've tried several settings but still a problem with the ERM file. Do you still have some suggestions?

Benno

[freddydk]

:-)

Unfortunately, I don't know what's wrong in your code/repo - I have created a repo, which shows that it works as expected - not sure what more I can do.

My recommendation (for everybody) is to move to AL-Go for GitHub or another managed DevOps solution.

[freddydk]

You could (if you want me to give any advice) create a public repository on GitHub, which contains the files needed to repro this (basically use github as a packaging mechanism) - including a script and some sample apps, which provokes this problem.

Then I can have a look and see what's wrong.

[BennoVendrig]

Hi Freddy,

The problem is fixed. The issues was caused by the parameter useDevEndpoint which was set on True in the DevOps pipeline. Took al lot of time to figure this out. Thank you really much for your support.

Benno
