Hello,
I am having some issues with a custom connector after exporting this through a solution from our dev environment to our test environment.
According to the documentation, a custom connector should be created through a solution and exported independently and before other components.
After exporting the solution containing only the connector and configuring the connector in the test environment, the connector is working fine.
We then export the main solution containing the connector and other components to the same test environment. It then appears we have to reconfigure the connector after this import.
The last step of importing the main solution appears to break the custom connector. The connector is being used together with a custom page. After successfully creating a connection to the custom connector in the environment, testing returns 401 for the operations we attempt in the connector test tab.
Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?
I am also facing the same issue. I am using environment variables for my client id and secret which in turn connects to Azure Key Vault. But when I import the solution in the environment it seems the client secret is getting cleared inside the custom connector. I am using client secret as @environmentVariables("clpr_ClientSecret") inside my connector.
Then I have to edit the connector manually in the solution in the target environment and put the client secret again as @environmentVariables("clpr_ClientSecret"), which solves the problem, but it turns my solution from managed to unmanaged solution( which is a bigger problem).
Not sure what can be done here? this does not seem to be desired behavior
In my export of the solution the connector connection parameters file is missing client secret. This has been changed recently may be with new powerapps client version as in my previous solutions i can see client secret as well-
It's good that you solved this using Pipelines however this is not an appropriate solution since this comes with additional license costs to get access to Pipelines.
Core functionality should be supported through the standard (manual) solution import method, and clearly it is not.
Our workaround is to import the custom connectors in their own solution and not include them in any dependent solutions. After the initial import of the connector solution, we make a minor change to each connector (e.g. the colour), save, and then they work. However - this is a workaround, not a solution!
What kind of pipelines did you use?
same problem, had to create a new custom connector and change every single action in my flow
I love Microsoft
I don't think you are doing anything wrong, there is something fundamentally broken with custom connectors and deployment where the custom connector seems to break after deployment.
I have seen people post that if you use oath with environment variables it seems to work correctly (going to be trying this shortly). I'm using key based authentication and always had the same behaviour you are seeing.
