Has anyone been able to get the Add-PnPSiteScriptPackage command to work? Documentation is very scarce. I attempted to combine a simple .json site script file with 1 excel file. I package them together into a package.zip and attempt to call the command using pnpOnline PowerShell:

Add-PnPSiteScriptPackage -Title "MP Projects Package" -Description "Major Projects" -ContentPath "c:\provision\package.zip"

and I receive the same error every time - what am I missing here? thanks, Wes.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available in all environments yet.

I was getting the same error as you when working with PnP PowerShell and while not in the official SharePoint Online PowerShell schema there is an Add-SPOSiteScriptPackage command available, which while it still doesn't work gives a more detailed error that the functionality is not supported.

Thank you for the response. It is interesting that your error message is different than mine. Also, the official site script schema (https://github.com/microsoft/json-schemas/blob/main/sp/site-design-script-actions.schema.json) does display the option for the addFile source parameter which is to get the file from a package you compile with the Add-PnPSiteScriptPackage powershell command:

"addFile": { "type": "object", "properties": { "verb": { "type": "string", "pattern": "^addFile$" }, "destination": { "type": "string", "description": "The location in the library to copy the file to, including the filename, relative to the root of the library.", "examples": ["Training Documents/Accounting/First Day.pdf"] }, "source": { "type": "string", "description": "Optional parameter. **The location in the site script package to copy the file from**, relative to the root directory. Provide either this or sourceUrl." }, "sourceUrl": { "type": "string", "description": "Optional parameter. The location in the tenant to copy the file from, as an absolute url. Provide either this or source." } }, "required": ["verb", "destination"], "additionalProperties": false },
