Error when using validateNextMinor/NextMajor/Current in combination

[PaulFurlet]

Describe the issue When I try to use Run-AlValidation with combination of -validateCurrent, -validateNextMinor and -validateNextMajor parameters, I get an error

Run-AlValidation : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'credential'. userName

Scripts used to create container and cause the issue

param (
    [String[]]$validationRequiredFor = ("dk"),
    [String]$validationRequiredWith = "NextMajor",
    [String]$appFileName = "c:\Development\app_1.0.0.1.app",
    [String]$oldAppFileName = "c:\Development\app_1.0.0.0.app"
)

Import-Module BCContainerHelper

$ValidateCurrent = $true
$ValidateMajor = $false
$ValidateMinor = $false
if ($validationRequiredFor -ne $null) {
    if ($validationRequiredWith -ne $null) {
        if ($validationRequiredWith -contains "NextMajor") {
            $ValidateCurrent = $false
            $ValidateMajor = $true
        }
        if ($validationRequiredWith -contains "NextMinor") {
            $ValidateCurrent = $false
            $ValidateMinor = $true
        }
        if ($validationRequiredWith -contains "Current") {
            $ValidateCurrent = $true
        }            
    }
    Run-AlValidation `
        -apps $appFileName `
        -previousApps  $oldAppFileName `
        -affixes "CUST" `
        -countries $validationRequiredFor `
        -validateCurrent $ValidateCurrent `
        -validateNextMinor $ValidateMinor `
        -validateNextMajor $ValidateMajor `
        -failOnError true
}

Additional context

• does it happen all the time? yes, tried using non-variables or different order - all the same
• did it use to work? do not know, started checking today

ValidateCurrent, ValidateNextMinor, ValidateNextMajor and failOnError are switch parameters (not boolean) According to PowerShell syntax, you need to add a colon (and remove the true):

    Run-AlValidation `
        -apps $appFileName `
        -previousApps  $oldAppFileName `
        -affixes "CUST" `
        -countries $validationRequiredFor `
        -validateCurrent:$ValidateCurrent `
        -validateNextMinor:$ValidateMinor `
        -validateNextMajor:$ValidateMajor `
        -failOnError

Thanks for the answer. So if just in case of necessity, we cannot validate against all versions in one run, have to make three separate calls.

[freddydk]

No, you can run all 3 - you just had a powershell syntax error in your command.

Thanks!
