Power Platform - exporting solution that has a flow which uses an environmental variable

Posted on by rcapone

I am trying to export a solution from my Dev environment, it contains a flow which uses an environmental variable. 
I have successfully imported the environmental variable into the Prod environment. 
When I try to import the solution containing the flow I receive an error due to missing dependencies (see pic attached).


In solution.xml (see below) it contains MissingDependency section, 
I tried to remove and replace with "MissingDependency /" which results in it attempting to do the import and then failing mid-process.

<MissingDependency>
<Required type="EnvironmentVariableDefinition" displayName="new_SpecialBilling_SiteAddress" solution="Active" id.schemaname="new_SpecialBilling_SiteAddress" />
<Dependent type="29" displayName="GetDataURI" id="{035edacc-be9d-ed11-aad0-000d3a5c6b71}" />
</MissingDependency>

Note: The environmental variable SpecialBilling_SiteAddress has been imported successfully into Prod previously.

please advise,

Hi @rcapone,

Make sure that all of the dependencies such as Connection References, but also Environment Variables are also contained within your solution export. Go to your solution (in DEV), select 'Add Existing', 'More', 'Environment Variables', add the environment variable that is causing issues and try to import the solution into prod.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

Thanks!

it turned out to be that the Connection Reference needed to be added - thanks
