Windows defender error while compiling the app

[chigivigi]

I have successfully created a container and I am currently trying to compile the app inside it using the CompileBCApps task. For authentication I am using NavUserPassword and a random username and password for both create container and compiling the app.

The compile process runs for about 15 minutes and then throws the error: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection\Classification\Configuration' is denied.

This are my compile app parameters:

• task: CompileBCApps@2 inputs: ContainerName: 'test' RepoPath: '/' EnableCop: false EnableAppsourceCop: false EnableUICop: false FailOn: 'warning' auth: 'NavUserPassword' username: 'x' password: 'y'

Hi, This issue will not be anyhow connected to the navertical tasks. I think it will be connected to docker.

Are you using your own Agent or you are using Microsoft hosted agent?

We are using a Azure pipeline hosted agent with a wmImage windows-2019. It is a requirement in our case description.

Seems that the params are not correct. I think that you do not have the repo to compile in root folder ('/'). You need to use system variables to set the correct path. I am using this:

  - task: CompileBCApps@2
    displayName: Compile Apps
    inputs:
      ContainerName: ${{ parameters.ContainerName }}
      RepoPath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)'
      FailOn: 'error'
      Auth: ${{ parameters.Auth }}
      Username: ${{ parameters.Username }}
      Password: ${{ parameters.Password }}
      EnableCop: ${{ parameters.EnableCop }}
      EnableAppsourceCop: ${{ parameters.EnableAppsourceCop }}
      EnablePerTenantExtensionCop: ${{ parameters.EnablePerTenantExtensionCop }}
      EnableUICop: ${{ parameters.EnableUICop }}
      RulesetFile: ${{ parameters.RulesetFile }}
      AsmProbingPaths: ${{ parameters.AsmProbingPaths }}

This is part of my yaml template, thus I am using the "parameters." things to set the values. But for you the '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)' is what should interests you. Because if you use /, the process will search through your whole disc for app.json files and it means that it tries to touch the mentioned folder where it have no permissions.

you were right regarding the RepoPath, now it is working.
