Hi

from looking at the logs, it seems like that you PAT is wrapped in $(...). However either you would paste it directly in, or you use a variable and reference it via this syntax: $(variablename).

Edit: Was it ever possible to queue the build? Or did you just start using the Task?

Hi @BlackHeartz18

did you have any chance to check if in your configuration the PAT might be wrapped unnecessarily in the $(...)?

Hi @BlackHeartz18

can you provide me any info or tell me if you still face the problem?
