Installing extension does not show errors

Hey Guys, I noticed another issue with ALOpsAppPublish. AzureDevops tells me that all good (everything green)

But Extension is just published but not installed.

When i try to publish it manually, it shows me the errror:

reported the same issue some time ago #82

[waldo1001]

could it be because of the multistage pipeline (just guessting - but it IS a preview feature...)?

could you try a simplified pipeline?

[gntpet]

Don't think so. I use multi-stage pipelines for deploying extensions without using ALops scripts. There, it works fine. If something goes wrong, it shows me an error.

Here the code snippet for installing completely new app that I use Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance $instanceName -Path $app.FullName -SkipVerification -PassThru | Sync-NAVApp -PassThru | Install-NAVApp

Perhaps in your code you use CommonParameters or pipe output to null?

Dear @gintuoklis,

We found the cause of this and is hotfixed in the next release. For this step the ErrorActionPreference was set to Silent.

Kind regards,

[AdminHodor]

Dear @gintuoklis ,

Fix for this is in version v1.429, which we just released. Could you please validate the solution?

Kind regards,

[gntpet]

Thanks @AdminHodor , Will let you know.
