Dear,

I ran into a problem deploying to one of our (new) VMs. I ran out of idea’s since I can’t seem to find a lot of documentation about this …
This deployment works on other machines/environments, but I can’t seem to find out why this one is failing (without any details). I have already tried to isolate some deployment steps, but this happens on every step.

Please let me know what details you need …

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind … Because of the nature of the exception (stackoverflow), I checked out the corresponding variable sets and looked for any possible circular references … which I found!

Which makes me wonder … would it be possible to prevent this?
Since a variable’s value can have placeholders to other variables, which may even be defined in other variable sets, you can create very tricky situations, were you can also accidently end up in a loop …

It could have helped me a lot, if I knew what the Octopus Tentacle was doing at the time of this exception, but there is no logging indicating that e.g. variables are being read …

best regards,

Hi Tom,

Thanks for reaching out. We actually filed a bug for this a couple of hours ago: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/2760

I’m adding this thread on that github issue to increase its priority.

Thanks,
Dalmiro
