I don't think I am applying system variables correctly

Greetings,

I ran into an issue with transforms and wanted to suppress their errors. Per the documentation is says to set a system variable, Octopus.Action.Package.IgnoreConfigTransformationErrors, to true. To do this I added “custom deployment scripts” to my package process and added the line, $OctopusParameters[“Octopus.Action.Package.IgnoreConfigTransformationErrors”] = $true, to pre-deployment script. That didn’t seem to work so I removed the line from pre-deployment and added it to deployment, the errors still show. Please assist on what I am doing incorrectly.

Octopus 3.1.4

Error when deploying:
Transforming ‘d:\Octopus\Applications\QA\Pulse.Web\1.0.114.1_3\Web.config’ using ‘d:\Octopus\Applications\QA\Pulse.Web\1.0.114.1_3\Web.Release.config’.

Hi,

Thanks for the question.
You will need to set Octopus.Action.Package.IgnoreConfigTransformationErrors in your project variables. See attached screenshot for an example.

Cheers,
Shane

I was wondering if that would work. The documentation reads, “This page lists built-in variableshttp://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/Variables provided by Octopus that can be used in your deployment Custom scriptshttp://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/Custom+scripts.”, right on top of the system variable pages so I started there. As a beginner I though the variables were more for replacement values.

Thank you for the information.
