Nukeeper task fails on Azure DevOps Server

[EP01]

Nukeeper isn't able to work out which platform to use when running on a private build agent for Azure DevOps Server (On-Prem) because the path to the repo is a local one. I tried setting the repo argument in the pipeline, but that doesn't supercede the original value of repo.

• Azure DevOps Server 2019.0.1 RC
• Private Build Agent (Windows Server 2016)

I think NuKeeper is having a hard time trying to determine what platform you are using. Gitea seems to have the most tolerant ISettingsReader.CanRead() method. Because of this NuKeeper thinks it's running on a Gitea server.

Could you try to add --platform "AzureDevOps" as an argument to the NuKeeper task?

[MarcBruins]

Gitea is the last in the Settingsreaders loop and thats why you see a gitea message.

And I think this is an issue with NuKeeper itself and not the extension. What happens if you run nukeeper repo /path/to/repo {pat} - - targetbranch origin/master? Should return the same output.

Adding the platform parameter should work in your case as Max said

Hi guys, thanks for the quick responses. I didn't have time to look at the problem again until Friday. I tried both suggestions, separately and together, and got the same result (as below).

I also noticed that it strips out the quotation marks from the --targetplatform argument when actually running the command. Could this affect the result?
