Hi,
Just want to provide some feedback on the latest release.
The change to provide the ability to have offline targets as Octopus artefacts looks like a useful addition. However, in making that the default you have affected our existing processes, forcing us to have to edit all our offline drop targets.
That’s 14 lots of edits for me, and having to reset the sensitive password too at the same time.
My feedback is that the upgrade should not have changed the behaviour of existing file drop targets. We only discovered the need to do this when doing a deployment, leading to delays while we investigated the issue.
We apologize. You are absolutely correct, the upgrade should have not have changed existing offline-drop targets. This was a bug, which we have now corrected and will ship a resolution for in 2018.9.1 today.
Thank you for reporting this. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. I believe you’ve resolved it now, but if there’s anything we can do to help please don’t hesitate to ask.
