Azure DevOps Power Platform pipeline Error

[dibeau]

Hi all

I am having trouble with getting a pipeline run without errors. I'm trying to run a job wich uses the Power Platform Build Tools to export, unpack and push the code of a solution to an Azure DevOps repo. 

I'm following the example of Suparna Banerjee in Quick Wins I Set up Azure DevOps Pipelines for Power Platform - YouTube

While trying I keep getting the following errors executing the last step (CMD Line Script);

error: pathspec 'main' did not match any file(s) known to git

error: src refspec main does not match any

error: failed to push some refs to '**'

##[error]Cmd.exe exited with code '1'. 

The script (** = made unreadable):

echo commit all changes
git config user.email "**"
git config user.name "**"
git checkout main
git add --all
git commit -m "solution init"
echo push code to new repo
git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: bearer $(System.AccessToken)" push origin main

Some help would be appreciated a lot. Thanks in advance!

Following post, getting the same error. 

For me I just removed the last line for temporary purposes. Because of which it did not create any folder in the repository. Though I was able to transfer solution from one environment to another after removing the last line. 

But definitely I will adding the last line to create the repository in the future. But I hope till then I will get the permanent solution for it. 

Tagging person who might be able to help.

Try this, not sure it would work or not

In the 4th line of the code do this:

git checkout -b main

It worked for me. Do come back if it works. 🙂

Hi Sundeep

Thanks for helping out! Looks like 'git checkout -b main' worked. I've run the pipeline succesfully now and am seeing the solution files in my repo.

I'll try and do the other pipelines now. I'll let you know how that went.

Everything worked as intended with the solution Sundeep suggested. 

Thanks a lot @Sundeep_Malik!

I think Azure DevOps Power Platform pipeline errors can occur when there is incorrect input data, or the pipeline is running too slowly.
