"Skipping upload of file" when provisioning a file to Communication site

Environment

[x] Office 365 / SharePoint Online [ ] SharePoint 2016 [ ] SharePoint 2013

Expected or Desired Behavior

I'm trying to provision an .aspx file to SitePages in a communication site using the 2018/01 schema version and 2.23.1802.0 PnP-Powershell version.

Observed Behavior

When running Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path .\template.xml -Handlers Files, the tracelog outputs:

PowerShell_ISE.exe Warning: 0 : 2018-02-23 12:37:02.5438    [Files] [17]    [Information]   Skipping upload of file 'Files\BestillTeam.aspx' to '/SitePages'.   655ms   46de95a0-5af5-
4a6c-95a2-966877815205

Applying the same template to a team site works fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new communication site
2. Connect to site Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite
3. Create a provisioning template containing the Files property: `

   </pnp:Files>`

4. Create a folder named "Files" in the directory containing your template.xml.
5. Create a file named BestillTeam.aspx located in the newly created "Files" directory.
6. Run Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path .\template.xml -Handlers Files

Hi @chjohan, It appears that you don't have scripting enabled in your site. When the scripting is not enabled the aspx files are not allowed and cannot be uploaded.
