Calamari.exe deploy-package error

Legacy Execution
#1

I have a PowerShell script used to manually deploy a Nuget package onto client PCs. The following error is being thrown, although the install works perfectly well via the Octopus GUI.

Octopus version: v2018.10.2 LTS
Tentacle version on the client 3.3.4

Any ideas?

Hi Paul,
Could you please confirm what you mean when you say you are performing a manual deployment, and that it works file using the Octopus GUI. Are you using offline drop targets to generate scripts that you then invoke? It sounds like it is failing to invoke because a TentacleJournal environment variable is missing. This is something that we always set during deployments.

Hi Rob,

Yes, we are working with offline drop targets. The script we have written invoke the generated scripts. I am looking at the possibility of mismatches in Calamari and tentacle versions, but was interested in any pointers you could provide.

Paul, are you running the .cmd files tat are generated as part of the offline drop or trying to run each step individually? Could you send through an example of how this is done.
