Get Latest Patch (Preview) var error.

[fmikowski]

Hi Wael.

This is almost similar to #216, I have created the vars as described on #216 in the pipeline, and it seems that the component gets the right patch name, but it throws an error when it tries to set some values to the output vars.

Patch Name: AutomatedDedploymentTest_Patch_91298618 <- This is correct Unable to process command '##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATCH_EXISTS]True' successfully. Please reference documentation (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=817296) Value cannot be null. Unable to process command '##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATCH_NAME]AutomatedDedploymentTest_Patch_91298618' successfully. Please reference documentation (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=817296) Value cannot be null.

This is the task config:

This is the vars created in the pipeline:

By looking into the code I think that the script does not find the OUTPUT vars on line 50 and 51 of the MSCRMGetLatestPatch.ps1

Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATCH_EXISTS]$exists" Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATCH_NAME]$name"

I don't know a lot about PS development so I can't even build the solution, otherwise I would help, but would the code work without those two lines since you are setting the vars right after this section?

if ($existsVariableName) { Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=$existsVariableName]$exists" } if ($patchVariableName) { Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=$patchVariableName]$name" }

Write-Verbose 'Leaving MSCRMGetLatest.ps1'

Thank you!

Fernando.

Hello,

I am also going through the same issue. The output is not getting generated from the pipeline. This is what I have Please let me know if this is resolved by someone. The pipeline succeeds so I do not get any errors.
