Environment

[ ] Office 365 / SharePoint Online [ ] SharePoint 2016 [ X] SharePoint 2013

If SharePoint on-premises, what's exact CU version: 15.0.4569.1506

Expected or Desired Behavior

I expect a new created contenttype.

Observed Behavior

I downloaded the latest sharepoint 2013 pnp powershell msi file (June 2018 Release, 2.27.1806.0 ). I created a pnp template to create a new manage metadata field. I run the pnp powershell command "Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate".

I receive this error:

Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate : Expected hex 0x in '{0}'.

Here is my pnp template:

I have the same issue and it's related to ContentTypes. Does somebody know a solution?

I was getting the same error when I tried to provision Metadata Navigation settings.

I tried this first:

  <pnp:Navigation AddNewPagesToNavigation="true" CreateFriendlyUrlsForNewPages="true">
    <pnp:GlobalNavigation NavigationType="Managed">
      <pnp:ManagedNavigation TermStoreId="{sitecollectiontermstoreid}" TermSetId="{sitecollectiontermsetid:Termset Name}" />
    </pnp:GlobalNavigation>
  </pnp:Navigation>   

When I take the spaces out of the termset name that I am using in the TermSetId attribute, it works perfectly.

<pnp:ManagedNavigation TermStoreId="{sitecollectiontermstoreid}" TermSetId="{sitecollectiontermsetid:TermsetName}" />

I got the idea from StackExchange.
