Is there any way to get useful errors out of the PowerPlatform build tools

[dreashovlain]

I'm using ADO and the PowerPlatform build tools to deploy solutions between environments. Howevever the errors are horrible. 99.9% of the time, the only error I can find in my output is:

2024-11-21T16:48:40.1445515Z [ 'The reason given was: An unexpected error occurred.' ]
...
2024-11-21T16:48:40.4642910Z ##[error]error: 1
2024-11-21T16:48:40.4655663Z ##[error]failed: Connected as ***

Is there a setting or flag I can set to get more detailed errors? the debug option on the pipelines doesn't provide anything better.

[petrochuk]

yes, set "enable system diagnostics" when you run your pipeline to get more detailed logging

[dreashovlain]

I don't get that option on a release pipeline

From Use predefined variables:

For more detailed logs to debug pipeline problems, define System.Debug and set it to true.
1. Edit your pipeline.
2. Select Variables.
3. Add a new variable with the name System.Debug and value true.
