Error running conventions; running failure conventions

goncalo_oliveira · May 26, 2014, 10:36am

I’m trying to deploy to an environment with 5 machines, using a rolled deployment. The first attempt I did worked fine, however, the following did not go so well as some of the tentacles fail to deploy. I do manage to get them through, by retrying the deployment for that tentacle, but it’s not a clean deployment.

Using Octopus Deploy 2.3.6.1385

Hi Goncalo,

It looks like something very odd is happening in your deployments. Are you using the custom installation directory to copy files to the same place that Tentacle.exe is installed to? Or did you copy the Deploy.ps1 file from Tentacles?

Basically, your Deploy.ps1 file is calling the Deploy.ps1 that we bundle with Tentacle for automatic upgrades, which is then telling the Tentacle service to use a different executable.

Could you attach a raw deployment log?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick answer. This only happened when trying to deploy a
release that had been deployed before. After posting this issue, I created
a new release and everything seemed to work correctly.

I’m posting the full task log below.

Hi Goncalo,

Thanks for the update. On the Tentacle, can you use the NuGet Package Explorer tool to open this package:

C:\Frotcom\Octopus\Applications.Tentacle\Packages\Frotcom.WebAPI.1.0.38_6E71C6F72DB82E4BA44A4D222BEF2052.nupkg

Inside, there is a Deploy.ps1 file. Can you show me what the Deploy.ps1 file in that package looks like?

NuGet Package Explorer is available here:
