hi @6ithu8u53r sorry for the delayed response, have you tried using the force:package:beta commands? It might be fixed in there

hi @6ithu8u53r sorry for the delayed response, have you tried using the force:package:beta commands? It might be fixed in there

Yes, but it doesn't work due to issue #1750. We are also running the commands in an automated pipeline and it's easier for us to use 7.1.70.0 until it's fixed so we don't need to make modifications to our codebase.

[WillieRuemmele]

yes, I'll close this to keep #1750 as the original

[6ithu8u53r]

yes, I'll close this to keep #1750 as the original

1750 is a different issue with the beta version that prevents me from answering the question if this error also occurs the beta version. Please keep this issue open.

Hi @6ithu8u53r what is the exact command you're executing?

Hi @6ithu8u53r what is the exact command you're executing?

I did obfuscate a few values, but this the the command with all the switches that is failing.
sfdx force:package:version:create --json -c -v [email protected] -x -b refs/pull/28/merge -d source/sfdx/force-app -f ./config/project-scratch-def.json -t example/sfdx-project__20221109.1 -w 320

When I was changing cli versions I noticed this warning...

 »   Warning: You still have the deprecated salesforcedx plugin installed in Salesforce CLI. If you continue using this plugin, you'll be running old and out-of-date versions of
 »   sfdx commands.
 »       Uninstall the plugin with this command: 'sfdx plugins:uninstall salesforcedx'.
 »       See https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/blob/main/releasenotes/sfdx/README.md#71063-june-17-2021 for more information about this change.

After uninstalling the plugin, the package version create process now fails on my Windows based system. I've removed references to linux in the issue title and description.

This appears to be fixed in the latest (7.179.0) release.
