I am attempting to use the “Deploy an Azure Resource Manager Template” task.
Please note that the examples just show to enter the JSON file names (example: “servers.json” and “servers.param.json”).
This approach does not work…
No matter the path to my ARM templates I get one of two errors.
- Calamari.exe : Could not find ‘OctopusPackage/drop/PartsUnlimited-aspnet45/env/PartsUnlimitedEnv/Templates/FullEnvironm

PLEASE NOTE: I can see the “drop” package going to the server: “Pushing package: D:\a\1\a\OctopusPackage\drop.20190603.5.zip…”
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out, Sorry to hear you have hit this issue with Octopus.
Can you show me the layout of your package? The files need to be relative to the package paths.
Also, do you mind attaching your raw logs?
Regards
John
Thanks for the quick response.
To be open I am really an Octopus newbie.
I was looking simple way export artifacts to review the structure.
The project is the MS Phoenix Project:
Templates are in /env/Templates/ *.JSON
Build artifacts are in /src/PartsUnlimitedWebsite
I am defining two packages “AZAsp.netcore” (Build artifacts for web site) and “drop” (JSON ARM Templates).
Both push to “D:\a\1\a\OctopusPackage”
How do I get the raw logs?
I am developer on 45 day trial, Octopus installation is in my Azure tenant.
Thanks again
Hi John,
Regarding:
Templates are in /env/Templates/ *.JSON
Build artifacts are in /src/PartsUnlimitedWebsite
I am defining two packages “AZAsp.netcore” (Build artifacts for web site) and “drop” (JSON ARM Templates).
Both push to “D:\a\1\a\OctopusPackage”
What do you mean by “Both push to …”?
What package are you referencing in:
Also, I just had a look at some of the templates, eg PartsUnlimited/env/Templates/DemoEnvironmentSetup.json at master · microsoft/PartsUnlimited · GitHub, they seem to take quite a few parameters, do you include a parameters file in your package?
Maybe it is easier if you send me your process json file?
Regards
John
Push to Octopus means I have Octopus build steps that
- Package (as .zip)
- Push to Octopus server (OOTB Octopus Build steps)

Hi John,
In your process json I see you are using a package with id “drop”, does this package include FullEnvironmentSetupMerged.param.json and FullEnvironmentSetupMerged.json at the root level?
Regards
John
I know drop contains the two files.
I have been attempting to determine the structure of the files inside of drop and do not know how to do that.
Hi John,
Isn’t it just a zip file?
Regards
John
Yes but how do I get it out of the server to view it?
Remember I am a Newbie.
I have mentioned a couple of times I do not know how to export artifacts out of the server.
If I could log into the server I could just look at the file right?
BTW, I am a contractor and am recommending Octopus to a large corp client.
I am under a deadline to get this working. All guidance is appreciated. 
So, I am familiar with Azure DevOps.
The client does not want to use Azure DevOps.
Here is the path from the task that works (for the same “drop” zip) in Azure DevOps:
Please note neither these paths or any other path I have attempted in Ocotpus works
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/PartsUnlimitedE2E/drop/PartsUnlimited-aspnet45/env/PartsUnlimitedEnv/Templates/FullEnvironmentSetupMerged.json
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/PartsUnlimitedE2E/drop/PartsUnlimited-aspnet45/env/PartsUnlimitedEnv/Templates/FullEnvironmentSetupMerged.param.json
Except for the ARM Provisioning I have the whole CI/CD working in Octopus.
The demo is today so I am just going to disable the “Deploy an Azure Resource Manager Template” task and not mention ARM provisioning today.
Thanks
ServerTasks-378.log.txt (6.4 KB)
See raw log as requested.
I am currently blindly attempting various paths hoping to get this working before my DEMO…
Reading and clicking around I just downloadeddrop.20190605.6.zip (12.3 KB)
the .zip file.
I got it figured out in time for DEMO.
Issue closed.
Thanks!!!
The best thing about support is to get the newbie thinking… LOL
Hi John,
I am glad you figured it out, so is everything you wanted working now?
Regards
John
