Hi @louagej

Can you please share the full log (in a zip file)?

@mazhelez ,

I copied the log from the script in a txt fil (see attachment).

1767_cloudDevEnv_Log.txt

I see the created container is filesOnly, so no wonder there is failure. However, the apps only need to be built when creating an online dev environment.

As a mitigation, you can set doNotPublishApps to true in the settings for cloudDevEnv (.github/cloudDevEnv.settings.json)

Hi @mazhelez ,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by filesOnly. Could you please clarify that a bit more?
