Unable to find octo is causing pipeline step to fail

[jharper52 (John Harper)]

Hi all,

I have an “Octo-Pack” step that is failing even though octo is installed. How can I resolve this error? This is an azure devops/ tfs pipeline and the agent is installed on a linux VM. Thanks in advance. Output -

Hi @jharper52,

Thanks for reaching out.

In your Octopus “Package” step, can you please try using version 4 of the task if that is not currently selected?

If that doesn’t work, can you please send a screenshot of the setup of your Package step?

Please let me know.

Best,
Jeremy

I changed it to task version “4.*” but am still seeing the error. Screenshot below-

[jharper52 (John Harper)]

Thanks for your help thus far. I capitalized these filenames and the step is now working -

[root@vm x64]# cp octo.dll Octo.dll
[root@vm x64]# cp octo.runtimeconfig.json Octo.runtimeconfig.json

Hey John,

Thanks for the information.

The latest version of our plugin should have the logic to find both upper and lowercase of the files, which is why I was confused by the error.

If you have time to test at one point, would you be able to return the casing to its lowercase version and delete the pack step and recreate it and see if the issue persists? I’m worried that you will run into this again when the tool gets upgraded to a newer version.

If you don’t have time, I understand.

Once again, thank you for letting me know you’re in a good state and what got you there.

Best,
Jeremy
