We recently upgraded Octopus Deploy from 3.1 to 3.4.14.
Previously we had an issue where releases would sometimes fail without a visible error. We would deploy the release, which featured the first step as a manual intervention. After proceeding past this, the deploy would fail but there would be no error in the Task Log.
After this, we upgraded to see if this would address the issue. Now, releases still seem to fail but we are seeing this error:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error resolving type specified in JSON 'Octopus.Server.Orchestration.Deploy.DeploymentState, Octopus.Server'. Path 'StateObject.$type', line 1, position 444. ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Could not find type 'Octopus.Server.Orchestration.Deploy.DeploymentState' in assembly 'Octopus.Server, Version=3.4.14.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

This error doesn’t always happen, but at the moment it is happening more often than not. I thought it was just happening on releases created via Team City rather than directly in Octopus, but after testing this isn’t the case.
I do know that if we remove the Manual Intervention step, this seems to get rid of the problem. If I try to add it back in, the problem returns. Is there an issue with this process step?
