[ERROR] Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI version 1.9.8 - pac unpack error

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hey Team,

I've noticed a breaking change when using Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI version 1.9.8 - pac unpack

Here is the error.

Sorry, the app encountered a non recoverable error and will need to terminate. The exception details have been captured and will be forwarded to the development team, if telemetry has been enabled. Exception Id:759d1bad-96a1-4baa-8ae3-46ca250935bb.

Cheers Brad

    When and where?

    I have tried using the CLI on my local machine and in my Azure Devops Pipelines.
    This happens when you use the latest version of the Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI version 1.9.8 (released yesterday)

    Yes, what I'm saying is that "unpack" is not a command in pac, so what are you executing when you see this error?

    pac unpack

    Here is a screen shot of the error on my local machine. I noticed the command is "pac canvas unpack"

    Here is a link to a blog describing what I am trying to achieve.
    Canvas source code tool integrated with Power Platform CLI | Microsoft Power Apps

    Step 1 - 

    pac install latest

    Step 2 -

    pac canvas unpack --msapp dxc_demoapp_c91ef_DocumentUri.msapp --sources src

    Step 2 fails when using latest pac toolset, but is working when I use Version 1.9.4

    Appreciate the support!

    For those affected by this issue since November, there is a new PAC version 1.10.4 that restores the ability to pack and unpack canvas apps.  Works as advertised.. again.. for now.
