Solution import with Canvas App fails with error 'CanvasApp import: FAILURE: No file with that name found'

[parvezghumra]

We're using the Power Platform Github Actions for our ALM processes, which I understand are wrapper around the PAC CLI.

The 'import-solution' action is failing currently with the following error:

The reason given was: CanvasApp import: FAILURE: No file with that name found Microsoft PowerPlatform CLI Version: 1.28.3+g4ba7dfd

The command which fails via Github Actions is:

Calling pac cli inputs: solution import --path D:\a\....solution_managed.zip --async true --force-overwrite true --publish-changes false --skip-dependency-check false --convert-to-managed false --max-async-wait-time 60 --activate-plugins true --skip-lower-version false --import-as-holding true --settings-file .....\deploymentsettings.json

Our commit process involves invoking the following commands via Github Actions (all of which succeed and do not unpack Canvas Apps)

Calling pac cli inputs: solution export --name solution --path D:....\solution.zip --overwrite true --managed false --async true --max-async-wait-time 60

Calling pac cli inputs: solution export --name solution --path D:\.....\solution_managed.zip --overwrite true --managed true --async true --max-async-wait-time 60

Calling pac cli inputs: solution unpack --zipFile D:\....\solution.zip --folder D:.....\solution --packageType Both --errorlevel Info --singleComponent None --useLcid false --useUnmanagedFileForMissingManaged false --disablePluginRemap false --allowDelete true --allowWrite true --clobber true

Calling pac cli inputs: solution unpack --zipFile D:\.....\solution.zip --folder D:\.....\solution --packageType Both --errorlevel Info --singleComponent None --useLcid false --useUnmanagedFileForMissingManaged false --disablePluginRemap false --allowDelete true --allowWrite true --clobber true

Our build process involves invoking the following commands via Github Actions (all of which succeed and do not repack Canvas Apps)

Calling pac cli inputs: solution pack --zipFile /home/runner/work/....../solution.zip --folder /home/runner/work/...../solution --packageType Both --errorlevel Info --singleComponent None --useLcid false --useUnmanagedFileForMissingManaged false --disablePluginRemap false

All of this setup was working fine until yesterday

Looking at this response on a similar issue on the Community forum, it looks like someone resolved this by using version 2 of the corresponding Azure DevOps Power Platform Build Tools. I've verified that I'm using the latest available version of the corresponding Github Action but this hasn't resolved the issue.

Same here !

Neither local pac cli is work or github action

I tried to zip the unpacked code locally via pac cli pac solution pack --zipfile solution_unmanged.zip --folder solution

Microsoft PowerPlatform CLI Version: 1.29.11+g9e2b163

Error: Cannot find required file AdditionalUris0_identity.json

Same meta.xml file as mentioned in the community forum.

  <AdditionalUris>
    <AdditionalUri>/CanvasApps/solution_AdditionalUris0_identity.json</AdditionalUri>
  </AdditionalUris>

workaround

Manually remove:

    <AdditionalUris>
    <AdditionalUri>solution_AdditionalUris0_identity.json</AdditionalUri>
  </AdditionalUris>

pac solution and run it
pac solution pack --zipfile solution_unmanged.zip --folder solution

I have been able to reproduce this issue and a bug has been filed for the engineering team.

[gavenkat78]

can you try forcing the action to use 1.29.11 version of pac cli and try?

[parvezghumra]

Thanks @gavenkat78. I hadn't even realised this was an option. Perhaps I ought to check the action definitions more closely! I'll give this a try now

[parvezghumra]

Thanks @gavenkat78. Just to confirm that your suggestion has resolved the issue for us for now. We are using it as a temporary workaround until a new version of the Github Actions are available from Microsoft with the permanent fix.

[snizar007]

Thank you @parvezghumra for confirming.

@snizar007 I'm having the same error:

Solution Importing... Microsoft PowerPlatform CLI Version: 1.25.2+g1c4a1b8 Error: CanvasApp import: FAILURE: No file with that name found CanvasApp import: FAILURE: No file with that name found

But the fix above doesn't work. I put that same "Install Power Platform Tools" action mentioned above as the first step in " convert-to-managed" job, but when I trigger this workflow. I don't even see that action on Github, as it seems the action is being skipped by my workflow and my PAC version stays the same (1.25.2+g1c4a1b8):

I tried running on ubuntu-latest and using version 1.4.0 for all the powerplatform-actions but nothing worked.

Here's my workflow:
