[Bug]: Build fails when a dependency is added

[AlexCeg]

AL-Go version

7.2

Describe the issue

I added a dependency on this app:

{
      "id": "<guid>",
      "name": "gevis ERP VEO",
      "publisher": "GWS mbH",
      "version": "26.2.129.0"
    }

But then I get an error when I run CI/CD action:

When I add a dependency on another app, it works.

Additional Information: I think the problem is, that the App "gevis ERP VEO" has a dependency on an app which also has the name "System"

Expected behavior

There is no error because of a missing System App.

Steps to reproduce

Add the dependency as above to an empty app and run the CI/CD action

Additional context (logs, screenshots, etc.)

No response

@AlexCeg can you please attach full log (feel free to redact any information, related to your repo or BC instance).

It's quite a peculiar error. I noticed you use a custom template (AlexCeg/PTETest), is there anything you do there that might affect this process?

Can you also include the app.json of the app?

[AlexCeg]

I think the same. I created the repository from the Template. This is my app.json, when it fails:

@AlexCeg There was a fix for https://github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/issues/3943 a couple of weeks ago. Have you tried to repro with the latest BCContainerHelper version?

[AlexCeg]

@mazhelez Thank you. Compiling works now. But I get the next error and I cannot explain it:

I added you to the repository so that you may have a closer look onto it.

@mazhelez i think i might be experiencing the same problem. My app.json has a single dependency:

{ "id": "{guid}", "name": "TemperPack Customizations", "publisher": "TemperPack IT", "version": "1.0.26.22", "runtime": "14.0", "target": "Cloud", "platform": "1.0.0.0", "application": "25.0.0.0", "resourceExposurePolicy": { "allowDebugging": true, "allowDownloadingSource": true, "includeSourceInSymbolFile": true }, "dependencies": [ { "id": "a4c02dc2-a5a1-4fa1-bddd-f47a26b048ca", "name": "Temper Pack Inventory", "version": "23.0.0.2", "publisher": "Wipfli, LLP." }], "idRanges": [ { "from": 52511, "to": 53511 } ] }

and when it attempts to build it fails to find the package related to the dependency:

I see you mention a newer version of BCContainerHelper...how do i force that new version to see if that helps the issue?

[mazhelez]

@m-scipione there's a setting you can use to control the BCContainerHelper version: http://aka.ms/algosettings#BcContainerHelperVersion

[mazhelez]

@AlexCeg Thanks! I'll take a look these days and try to figure out the reason of the failure.

[m-scipione]

@mazhelez thanks! i did try with both latest and preview for the BcContainerHelperVersion setting and it still yields the same result (failure to compile because the dependent app isnt found in the package cache folder).

AL-Go Settings:

Error Messge:

I did a little digging on this comment and was able to manually download the .app from the dependency:

Since I'm able to download the .app manually, I wonder why the pipeline can't do the same. Should I open a new Issue for this or is it similar enough to this issue?

[mazhelez]

@m-scipione Please open a new issue and provide the logs (please obfuscate all sensitive data, if needed).

[AlexCeg]

@mazhelez Could the error be fixed?
