I updated to 3.0.2.2077 today, but I am still experiencing the following error, which causes the Process step to fail:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Everything in the Nuget Package process step completes successfully, but it does throw this error at the end and causes the deployment to fail. We are using the built-in Octopus feed.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. Could you please provide us a full deployment log so we can check what might be going on?

Hi,

This matches one of the bugs we found today for deployments with manual interventions https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/1701 . Removing the manual intervention steps seems to let the deployment finish successfully.

We’re already working on a fix for this one, which we plan to release really soon.

Sorry for the inconveniences

Dalmiro

Thank you. I’ve downloaded and installed 3.0.5 and this is no longer an issue.
