Azure DevOps for Powerapps

Posted on by kattesang 21

I am trying to implement DevOps pipeline for Power Apps by referring the link. In manual deployment, usually we will export the app and import on another app by updating it. And then we publish it.

 

But when the trigger the pipeline,  I am getting the error as "Cannot bind argument to parameter 'String' because it is an empty string." for the import and export task.

 

Anyone please help me to solve this issue. And want to know how publish will happen.

 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    @kattesang 

     

    It seems that the Export-Solution was not described alright. Can you please provide also the yaml pipeline description?

     

    Did you installed also the PowerAppsToolInstaller before running in the pipeline the Export?

     

    Gabriel

    Hi @shantanu123456 ,

     

    Can you confirm that the Test Connection task is working fine - how long does it take ?-  before running the Export task?

     

    What parameters did you use for Export task? 60minutes for an export is not alright.
