System.Exception: Method invocation failed because [System.String[]] doesn't contain a method named 'Trim'. #31

Closed screaney closed 6 years ago

On several of my deployment machines, the Stop Service task will fail with: System.Exception: Method invocation failed because [System.String[]] doesn't contain a method named 'Trim'.

All my deployment environments are Windows Server 2008 R2. Is there something specific that needs to be configured on the target-side to ensure this works? My environments were setup at different times, so they may have some configuration differences.

You can disregard this issue, the culprit is the target machine only has PS 2.0, the one's that work have PS 3.0. I would recommend putting somewhere that you require >= PS 3.0 on the target machine.

Yeah. You are not the only person to be but by this. I really should sort it.
