How to do version control for project having separate deploy configuration

Legacy Uncategorised

Hi,
I have followed all steps defined in the following URL:-

I am using the following configurations to deploy on build, package, deploy on dev, test and then promote to Test
1 - build and package
2 - Deploy on Dev Environment
3 - Test
4 - Deploy on Test

I am trying to achieve version control by passing a branch parameter from deploy on Dev Environment configuration. We want to choose any branch to go onto Dev machine and then depending on release we promote it to Test. Currently, Issue is I cant pass a parameter to first configuration from 2nd build step. I tried joining 1 and 2 step together as well but getting following error:-

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. Seems like the value passed to the parameter --packagesFolder is invalid. Try using the full path like C:\Packages\Temp

Thanks

Bundles of thanks. Yes it worked by using a full path.

The command looks OK, so there must be something wrong with the path at deploy time.

  • Is that directory on the same server as the Octopus server?
  • Are you creating that directory dynamically with some other process?
  • Can you try another Path (on C drive if possible)?

I removed --packagesFolder=Temp from the following command and it worked fine.
