    argh, the infamous "space in paths" bug strikes again 😞

    I've filed a bug to fix this on our end that will go out with our next refresh.
    In the meantime as work around (if you can), please change your "Source folder" and "Solution Output File" paths to NOT have a space in their folder/filenames

    Hi @UmerJavedD365,

    To use the Pack task, you need to unpack first. Have you unpacked the solution from Dev first (usually committed to source control afterwards) and then packed it from the location you unpacked?

    Thanks

    Hello,

     

    It's difficult to find out what can be the root cause and will require deeper investigation.

     

    I would suggest opening up a Support Ticket with Microsoft to get this checked further.
