Hi,

I’ve got this error during my deployment :

Which kind of characters can throw this exception ?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. We’re gonna need a bit more info to know what is going on.

  • Are you able to pinpoint on which step this is happening?
  • Could you please provide us a deployment log? If possible, only run the step that is triggering the issue to avoid the noise on the log.

Hi,

I found my mistake. In the processes, I’ve put a format chain (like Web.Release.config => Web.config) in the “Substitute variables in files” feature.

Sorry for the trouble :slight_smile:

Thanks.
