Hi,

I’m trying to execute a Azure Resource Manager cmdlet using Azure powershell step in Octopus 3.4.0-beta0001 but the step hangs at Importing Azure Resource Manager PowerShell modules. I left it for almost 30 minutes but still it didnt complete. Not sure whats the issue. Could you please help?

Hi Hari,

Thanks for getting in touch. We’ve never encountered this before but I have a few suggestions to try to fix it.

  • Have you tried this on the latest Octopus 3.3 release? Or Octopus 3.4 beta 2? This should work fine in the Octopus 3.4 betas but there could be an odd change interfering in the first beta. We’re currently bug bashing 3.4 now and looking to ship it soon.
  • Alternately, you could always try installing the Azure powershell modules locally on your server and then tell Octopus to ignore the bundled modules. More information on this is available at the following URL. http://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/Configuring+the+version+of+the+Azure+PowerShell+modules

Also, I saw you were running PowerShell 5 but can you tell me what version of Windows Server you are running?

It’s also worth noting that final release of Octopus 3.4 has improved the way we load the powershell modules. We no longer explicitly load the Azure PowerShell modules up front but we simply add the location of the bundled modules to the PsModulePath environment variable. This should improve performance moving forward.

Thanks

Rob
