An error occurs when trying to upload a package to the server using octo.exe.
I am using Octo.exe CLI 4.43.1 (Windows 32-bit).

PS> octo push --package package.1.0.0.nupkg --replace-existing
Octopus Deploy Command Line Tool, version 4.43.1
Detected automation environment: “NoneOrUnknown”
Handshaking with Octopus Server: https://example.octopus.app/

Pushing package: package.1.0.0.nupkg…
Requesting signature for delta compression from the server for upload of a package with id ‘package’ and version ‘1.0.0’
Something went wrong while performing a delta transfer: Could not load file or assembly ‘Octodiff, Version=1.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Falling back to pushing the complete package to the server

One of the following methods, no error occurs.

  • Using the Octo CLI (Windows 32-bit) v.4.42.6
  • Using the Octo CLI (.NET Core) v4.43.1
  • Copy Octodiff.dll from the package of Octo CLI (.NET Core) v4.43.1 to the directory of Octo CLI (Windows 32-bit) v.4.43.1.

Hi @aetos, thanks for reaching out.

This does appear to be a bug with the way the Windows octo.exe file is being built. An issue has been created at https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/5175.

As you have noted already the workaround is to copy the Octodiff.dll file alongside octo.exe.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regards
Matt C
