pac pcf push fails with publisher error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 76

Hello,

 

When I try to do a pac pcf push of a new control to my dev environment I get an error but I can't find any detail about the error.

This fails with the error

 

pac pcf push --solution-unique-name SRXInductionManagement

 

This works but it deploys to the default solution. I'd prefer to publish to the related solution.

 

pac pcf push -pp new

 

 

Seems to be something related to the Publisher. Which begs the question, I'm not specifying a publisher when doing a pcf push. 

 

Does anyone have any idea about this one?

    I haven't tried this but have you seen Andrew Butenko's crazy way of quickly pushing a PCF?

    His first tip in the video npm start watch was also a life saver for me.

    Yes the solution is there. I have also tried publishing the PCF in its own solution and pushing to that but get the same error. The only way it works is when I don't specify a package and specify the prefix, but then it's added to the default solution.

    @srx_nstratton Have you verified that you're using the latest version of the PAC CLI?

     

    Also does the unmanaged solution with the unique name SRXInductionManagement already exist in your dev environment?
