We recently updated from 1.6.x version of Octopus Deploy and are now running version 2.1.3.1223.
In one on the projects we have a colon “:” in the step names like ‘Notify: Deployment started’.
In the current version it seams that colon is no longer allowed in the step name. When trying to remove it with “Step details” and “Save” it results in a long list of errors. One for each step i have with a colon. Like:
The step name ‘Notify: Deployment started’ contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, periods, commas, dashes, underscores or hashes.
The action name ‘Notify: Deployment started’ contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, periods, commas, dashes, underscores or hashes.
The step name ‘Stop: Scheduled Tasks’ contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, periods, commas, dashes, underscores or hashes.
The step name ‘Stop: IIS server’ contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, periods, commas, dashes, underscores or hashes.
The action name ‘Stop: IIS server’ contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, periods, commas, dashes, underscores or hashes.
As I cannot save I cannot see how to get around the issue.
