Hi, everyone.

We recently upgraded from 2.6.5 to 3.0.5 version
And we get error (it seems. that it appear since 3.0.5 version) when deployin.

After deployment one of the Project the next error appeared (Raw log below)

Hi Niki,

Thanks so much for the report. I have created an issue which you can track here: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/1783
Hopefully it is something we can fix quickly. Please keep an eye on the issue or the downloads page for a fix.

Sorry for the troubles.
Vanessa

Hi Vanessa.

That’s cool )
Thank you

Hi Nik,

I am looking into this issue for you and have a few questions.

Is this error happening for only one project in particular? Are you able to deploy any other projects?

Did you import from a 2.6 backup when you upgraded to 3.0.5? Have you ever been able to deploy that project after upgrading?

Thanks for the extra information.

Cheers,
Shane

Hi, Shane,

Yes, this error is happening only for one particular project. All others projects are deploying OK.

Upgrade was executed from 2.6.5 backup to 3.0.4 version first.
And , as I remember, all the project were deployed fine (on 3.0.4) (we deployed a few projects on Prod at once, so if something was failed, we could report bug early - on 3.0.4 version). But I can’t prove it , because we have very short log retention, and those logs are deleted by Octopus.

Hi Nik,

In your logs the project is called CurrencyParsing.Console CLONED. Is this only happening for a project that has been cloned? Does the original project work ok?

Thanks
Shane

Hi, Shane,

Both of the projects CurrencyParsing.Console CLONED and CurrencyParsing.Console are have the same issues (they fails when deploying and impossible delete either the project or the release of the project).
It’s seems to be the format of the date<StartBoundary>2015-07-27T14:14:44</StartBoundary> isn’t parsed correctly.

10

Hi Nik,

I’m having a hard time replicating the issue. Would you mind sending an export of that project?

You can export via Octopus Manager and the project should be in the /Projects/CurrencyParsing.Console folder. Send to support@octopusdeploy.com.

Thanks,
Shane

11

Shane,

We sent exported project to support@octopusdeploy.com

Thanks

12

Thanks Nik,

This is causing the issue:

# This variables will be used in variable substitution
$Task_Start_Time = ([System.DateTime]::Now.AddMinutes(30).ToString("s"))

# This variables will be used in variable substitution
Set-OctopusVariable -name "Task_Start_Time" -value $Task_Start_Time

I’ll get a fix out for you ASAP. Keep an eye on the GitHub issue for updates.

Cheers,
Shne

Hi Nik,

I just wanted to let you know that this issue will be fixed in the next release. That will be tomorrow (build servers permitting).

Thanks for reporting it and all the information.

Cheers,
Shane

Hi Shane,

That’s cool ), we are waiting for it.
Thank you
