Azure DevOps task Reset Environment fails 'ApiUrl is null'

I'm setting up a build pipeline according to the lab at MBAS, but before importing unmanaged to BUILD environment I want to reset the environment so it does not contain stuff from last build.AzDO-PA-Build-pipeline.png

 

The build task reports the following error:

 

[...]

YAML for the above task:

steps:
- task: 10m-cust-mscrm.10m-powerapps-beta.powerapps-reset-environment.PowerAppsResetEnvironment@0
  displayName: 'PowerApps Reset Environment '
  inputs:
    PowerAppsEnvironment: 'xxxxxx BUILD'
  enabled: true

Importing solution works fine, so the connection to the environment is good.

The Global Admin user I have has MFA enabled (customer requirement) and I can't get that to authenticate properly even with an app-pwd.

So I'm using another user which is just a "User" in the AAD, but of course SysAdmin in D365.

 

Any ideas?

@Mikkelsen2000 perhaps? 🙂

Hi Jonas, 

 

Two points:

A: Thanks for asking - highlighted a gap in documentation. Reset is currently not supported for non D365 CE environments.

B: Is the environment you are trying to reset a Dynamics 365 CE environment or CDS only? 

 

Finally - pls. update your Azure DevOps org with the public preview version of the Build Tools. The Private preview isn't upgradable as we had to change the publisher

 

Let me know how it goes

 

Thanks

Thanks @Mikkelsen2000 !

 

It is D365CE (has Sales and Customer Service installed) and even after switching to the public preview version, I get the same error.

I can send you orgid and AzDO tenant privately, if you think that could help investigation.

 

Jonas

Thanks Jonas, I'll reach out privately

hi @Mikkelsen2000,

 

Is there a fix for this issue? I'm getting the same error with this task in AzureDevops.

 

KR,

HI, Mikkelsen:

 

Could you please provide your solution here on this thread?  This is something I'm facing as well.
