Problems with Run-AlPipeline and NewBCContainer

[nancy-ottenklinger]

Describe the issue I use Run-AlPipeline with a NewBCContainer Overwrite. I get the following error with my script:

Get-Item : Cannot find path 'D:\a\HelloWorldTest\HelloWorldTest\Invoke-Command\ServiceTier\program files\Microsoft 
Dynamics NAV' because it does not exist.
At C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\Temp\ed9d9ff2-158d-46d1-a7de-cf58b7123514\ContainerHandling\New-NavContainer.ps1:
930 char:28
+ ... vversion = (Get-Item -Path "$dvdPath\ServiceTier\program files\Micros ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (D:\a\HelloWorld...ft Dynamics NAV:String) [Get-Item], ItemNotFoundExcep 
   tion
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand

I looked at the New-NavContainer.ps1 Z. 930 to see if I forgot to set an parameter. But I don't understand why the else-part in the query was choosen as I have set an artifactUrl. Is something else missing in the parameters for NewBCContainer?

Scripts used to create container and cause the issue

Thanks for your help.

It looks like you are missing a ; between the new-BcContainer command and Invoke-ScriptInbcContainer command. PowerShell sees Invoke-ScriptInBcContainer as a parameter to New-BcContainer.

Furthermore: I don't understand why you are having $parameters defined before your Run-AlPipeline - these parameters are never used. The ScriptBlock gets the calculated parameters transferred as a parameter and your global variable will be ignored. Even if you rename the variable - this is not the way to do it. You should set parameters on the parameters transferred as a parameter ( [HashTable] $parameters ) - not just use your own.
