Get-BcContainerAppRuntimePackage in Run-ALPipeline

[RalleSP86]

Hi,

I have allready a problem with debugging when I create runtime packages over the command Run-ALPipeline.
There ist no possibilty to set parameter IncludeSourceInPackageFile.
What can I do, to create debuggable runtime packages over the Run-ALPipeLine command?
In our app.json the parameter allowDebugging and includeSourceInSymbolFile are set to true.

The generation of a runtime package within Run-AlPipeline should never have been made, since this will only generate a runtime package for a single version of BC.
You should use Convert-BcAppsToRuntimePackages when you have an .app file - or (if you really want to stick with run-alpipeline) add -keepContainer and then manually call Get-BcContainerAppRuntimePackage with the right parameters.

Hi Freddy,

thanks for your answer.
I tried to use the command Convert-BcAppsToRuntimePackages. I used the following params:
Convert-BcAppsToRuntimePackages -artifactUrl $ArtifactUrl -licenseFile $licenseFile -apps "C:\temp\apps" -destinationFolder "C:\temp\apps\runtime" -includeSourceInPackageFile 1 -publishApps "C:\temp\apps"

I executed the command on a local maschine and get the following error.

It looks like a problem when publishing apps.

[freddydk]

I think apps parameter needs to be an app path or array of app paths - not a folder.

[RalleSP86]

I tried this with a path to a Appfile:
Convert-BcAppsToRuntimePackages -artifactUrl $ArtifactUrl -licenseFile $licenseFile -apps "C:\temp\apps\TestappXY.app" -destinationFolder "C:\temp\RuntimeOnPrem" -includeSourceInPackageFile 1

The same error occurs. I think the app file will not copied correctly in container.

The same error was already mentioned in the following issue:
#1446

Please provide the full output from your command (not as a screenshot).

Not sure what is wrong, but the command works just fine with a single app without dependencies:

I tried now the same appfile on a different maschine wich is running windows server 2019 and older version of docker (Docker Client Version 19.03.5, Docker Server Version 19.03.5)
On this maschine the runtime package was created successful.
Maybe is there any problem with current docker version 27.4.0 or a problem with docker desktop on windows 11 enterprise?
Can you check this?
On my local maschine running win 11 enterprise the the error still occurs.

[freddydk]

Windows 11 has problems with process isolation (which I can see you are running) - that might be the issue.
you could try to run this before the command:

$bcContainerHelperConfig.defaultNewContainerParameters = [PSCustomObject]@{"isolation" = "hyperv"}

[RalleSP86]

thanks for this info.
I tried the hyperV isolation on my local maschine.
This doesn't work. I get the following error:
