Need to run `pac solution pack` with -pca twice to include canvas app changes #412

Open andersgMSFT opened 1 year ago

andersgMSFT commented 1 year ago

When using pac solution pack with the processCanvasApp flag, it looks like changes to the canvas app source code are not included in the zipped solution unless you run the pac command twice.

I also noticed a difference in file size for the zip files, where the first run results in a smaller file than the following.

See below for examples of how I run the command and the resulting zip files:

PS C:\depot\powerAppsTest> pac solution pack -pca -z temp/zippedSolution.zip -f .\PowerPlatform\BcSampleAppsSolution\
