Hi guys,

What is the syntax for export solution to the current folder using Power Platform CLI ?

I thought it is .\ (as I saw in one YouTube video)

It is give error saying invalid path though. I'm key in something like this :

pac solution export --name MyAppFoundation --path .\

The error :

It was only meant to export it in the current path that I'm in, is there any special syntax ?

Thanks

Hi @DianaBirkelbach

Thank you very much for your guidance and finding. I have updated my pac using "pac install latest" and now it works!

Re: Power Platform CLI .\ is invalid path

Hi @Axal ,

I have this pull request for the docs from January 8th 2021, where I could only use it by passing the file name: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/powerapps-docs/pull/2037

But it seems that now it works also if you pass the path.

I've just tried it out, and it worked by passing only the path

What I noticed, is that you use an older version of pac. Currently there is the version 1.12.2 out there

You seem to be using 1.7.4.

So maybe that's the reason it dones't work for you.

Hi,

I'm sorry, should've inform the YouTube video earlier -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS00WrKtass&t=631s

- starting min 10:00

So I believe the syntax is changed now ?

Just to have more understanding.

Thanks,

Re: Power Platform CLI .\ is invalid path

Hi @Axal ,

The "path" paramter for "pac solution export" expects actually a file name.
For an example, have a look to the docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/cli/reference/solution-command?WT.mc_id=BA-MVP-5004107

Hope this helps!
