Power Platform pipeline service principal connection reference issue: Missing Dependency

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 616

 

I have a test solution with 3 connection references, covering (Dataverse, Outlook and SharePoint)

 

When I attempt to deploy my test solution in the Dev-->Test stage, I get this nice error:

 

 

[{"SolutionValidationResultType":"Error","Message":"The following solution cannot be imported: MyALMTest. Some dependencies are missing. The missing dependencies are : <MissingDependencies><MissingDependency><Required type=\"connectionreference\" displayName=\"ppalmtst_sharedcommondataserviceforapps_e6ea5\" solution=\"Active\" id.connectionreferencelogicalname=\"ppalmtst_sharedcommondataserviceforapps_e6ea5\" /><Dependent type=\"29\" displayName=\"PowerApp-&gt;Add entry to Gift Table\" id=\"{f7af1554-905b-ee11-be6f-6045bd0d0cc5}\" /></MissingDependency></MissingDependencies> , ProductUpdatesOnly : False","ErrorCode":-2147188707}]

 

 

The same pipeline and stage works fine with another test solution whithout connection references. 

 

Set up 

 

  • The Test target environment is a developer environment ( as the MS docs suggest this doesn't need to be managed)
  • All connections are preconfigued in the target environment. 
    • The dataverse connection runs under a service principal which has Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Graph and PowerApps-Advisor API permissions.  it also shared with "Can use" permission.  To debug this issue I have also given this the System Adminstrator role.

 

Do I need to use a json settings file as you do when you import solutions with the build tools in  Azure DevOps pipelines?
