Please try executing Set-PnPTraceLog -On -Level Debug before the invoke commandlet and provide the detailed output.

Please try executing Set-PnPTraceLog -On -Level Debug before the invoke commandlet and provide the detailed output.

I executed Set-PnPTraceLog -On -LogFile "output.txt" -Level Debug before the invoke commandlet, but the output file is empty. It seems that the PnPTraceLog problem is similar to pnp/powershell#1061. I am wondering if there is other way to trace the debug process. Thanks for your help.

eoverfield commented 3 years ago

Remove -LogFile "output.txt" and let messages appear in the console as a next step. I'd be interested to see the last 10-30 lines before the script bails.

Hey there, sorry for late responding. I have tried 'Set-PnPTraceLog -On -Level Debug' before 'Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate -Path starterkit.pnp', but nothing showed up in the terminal. However, I used 'Get-PnPException' and I got the following message:

It's happening when copying most of the files in resources/images/*

As best I can tell, the issue with MacOS is PnP PowerShell and not the starter kit.

The kit does look to add sample files to doc library. Within the provisioning script, for example, this is achieved via:

<pnp:File Src="resources\documents\contoso_report.pptx" Overwrite="true" Folder="{resource:SharedDocumentsFolder}"></pnp:File>

It looks as though PnP PowerShell is then combining the src with the folder and adding this "/" which is not properly interpreted by MacOS PnP PowerShell.

You might need to reach out the PnP PowerShell community and provide what you are seeing along with the PnP Template lines that are throwing the error, i.e. the line provided above.
