Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. #164

Closed mbalcarek closed 3 years ago

mbalcarek commented 3 years ago

I am trying to copy a customized home page home.aspx from one site collection to another. Both are modern team sites without Teams. Please note there is a home.aspx in both the source and target urls.

` $pageName = "Home.aspx"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $srcUrl  -Credentials $UserCredential 

$tempFile = "c:\temp\template.xml"   # [System.IO.Path]::GetTempFileName();

Export-PnPPage -Force -Identity $pageName -Out $tempFile

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $destUrl  -Credentials $UserCredential 

Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path $tempFile

Get-PnPException`

results:

I have got the same problem... I got the template with this code from a dev tenant and I can't Import it into the production tenant.

$FilePath = "C:\temp\sitetemplate.xml"

Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out $FilePath -Handlers PageContents -IncludeAllClientSidePages -PersistBrandingFiles -Force

After connecting to the site, I fire this command, but the error displayed below pops up.

Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path $FilePath
