I’ve figured out the issue. I hadn’t changed the Octopus Version on the Create Release step from 2 to 3. Might be an opportunity to make a friendlier error message?

3

I’ve run into the same issue and was hoping to follow your resolution steps.

Were you talking about changing the ‘Create Release’ step from within TeamCity?

Hi @Swilliamson,

You’ll need to update the version on all the TeamCity Octopus steps. “Create Release” would be one of them, yes.

Thanks,
Dalmiro

I’ve tried updating all of the steps and the kicker is that there are other projects in TeamCity that have successfully deployed using Octopus.

I’m still getting the same error of

[09:03:28][Octopus Deploy] Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading string. Unexpected token: StartObject. Path 'Steps[0].Actions[0].Properties.Octopus.Action.WindowsService.CustomAccountPassword', line 22, position 69.

@Swilliamson - Did you update your TC plugin to the latest version after you upgraded Octopus to 3.3?

In that Octopus version we introduced a breaking change on the API that required you to upgrade the TC plugin. Grabbing the latest from here should do: https://octopus.com/downloads

We had migrated everything from an older version of octopus and updated things. the issue was resolved by re-configuring the project in octopus. this was done by going into octopus and resetting up the Deployment process for the project.

something didn’t sync right during the migration of the project from the older version of octopus.

Already resolved this problem.

I hadn’t changed yet the Octopus Version on TeamCity step “Create Release”.

Hello,

I just upgraded Octopus Deploy Server, Tentacles and TeamCity plugin, and I’m getting this error too on TeamCity.

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading string. Unexpected token: StartObject. Path ‘Steps[0].Actions[0].Properties.Octopus.Action.WindowsService.CustomAccountPassword’, line 27, position 69.

The deployment is done in Octopus Deploy successfully. The error is just in TeamCity.

Thanks
