Unable to find Octo.exe, but its just been installed

Hi,

We’re seeing this error very occasionally on VSTS build. Only occurs when octo needs to be installed. Which seems to succeed, but then it can’t find it. This doesn’t happen if octo is already installed, and usually doesn’t happen, even if it is.

Hi Mark, thanks for reaching out.

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. I’ve created an issue at https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctoTFS/issues/115 for this problem.

As a workaround you can manually define the Octo capability, which will mean the plugin will not attempt to download and install the octo cli. The documentation at https://octopus.com/docs/api-and-integration/tfs-vsts/using-octopus-extension/install-octo-capability has more information on defining the Octo capability.

Regards
Matt C
