Additional environment details

PowerShell module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell v16.0.24322.12000

Describe the bug / error

I'm currently trying to get started with Sharepoint Embedded (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/embedded/mslearn/m02-03-hol). To be able to follow this guide, I joined the Microsoft developer program (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program) and tried to connect to the environment created by the assistant there.

I could find the there described option to enable Sharepoint Embedded, but when I tried to create the container type, I should run the command Connect-SPOService which errored by giving me an error message I could not find out what to do next:

Connect-SPOService: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

As of what I've found online, there seems to be some error in the script provided by this package. I'd love to be able to have a look at the code which you run here, but this doesn't seem to be open source ...

Steps to reproduce

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
Import-Module "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell"
Connect-SPOService -Url "https://******-admin.sharepoint.com"

Expected behavior

Based on the documentation, I should be prompted for my credentials, but I wasn't. I tried to add some parameters, as described in the documentation of the script (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/connect-sposervice?view=sharepoint-ps). Adding the parameter -credential, as shown in the first example, I was first prompted for my password, but the application then stopped with the same error, after I entered the password.

Any update on this issue? Am facing the exact same problem

SimonSimCity commented 10 months ago

@brianavvoka I got it working by running the commands in PowerShell on Windows. But this is just a work-around. A proper fix would be to have it also working on Mac (don't know about Linux).

I can confirm the same problem exists using Microsoft PowerShell on Linux.

Also confirming PowerShell on Linux. I know "Object Reference not set to an Instance of an Object" is an ol' .Net error. Tried installing aspnetcore 8.0. No dice.
