Unable to Publish 3rd Party App File to Docker with "Publish-BcContainerApp"

[matthewhill-ocean]

I am trying to Publish a 3rd Party App file to my local docker. However, I am getting an obscure error that I do not understand, or know how to deal with. I am using the same procedure that I have for many other app files.

Publish-BcContainerApp -containerName “MyContainer" -appFile "3rdPartyPackage.app"

BcContainerHelper is version 6.0.19
BcContainerHelper is running as administrator
Host is Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - 22H2
Docker Client Version is 27.0.3
Docker Server Version is 27.0.3

This does not happen all the time (I have published others, not least from other vendors). It has worked in the past for older versions of the same app.

I have managed to Publsih the .app to one environment, but I need to Publish it to two others. It is these two that are the problem.

If you run

Extract-AppFileToFolder -appFilename $appfile -generateAppJson -openfolder

What error do you get?

Hi Freddy, Thanks for your prompt response. I receive the following when running the extract command: Extract-AppFileToFolder Telemetry Correlation Id: de839941-6f76-43eb-9eae-56b1873fdec9 ForEach-Object : Exception calling "ExtractToFile" with "2" argument(s): "The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Matthew.Hill\AppData\Local\Temp\57c0a2e6-a750-4b27-9e53-583dfe1aff28\src\src\BasicSetup.Table.al' because it is being used by another process."

I would probably need a copy of that .app file to find out why this is happening - it looks like this .app file contains something, which makes the Extract-AppFileToFolder fail.
If possible, you can email a link to a download location where I can download the app to freddyk at microsoft dot com.
If you are unable to do this, you would have to debug the Extract-AppFileToFolder yourself and find out why and how this fails, the source is here: https://github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/blob/master/AppHandling/Extract-AppFileToFolder.ps1

Hi Freddy, thansk for the update. I have provided the file in question via a OneDrive share, thanks.

I haven't seen any email with a link?

[matthewhill-ocean]

I have just shared it again. I used freddyk and changed the words to symbols in the address above.

Strange - nothing in my inbox - nothing in any of my folders, nothing in SPAM.
Could you try just to send me a normal email to see whether something is blocked?

[matthewhill-ocean]

Hi Freddy, I sent a "plain" email the other day. I don't know if you recieved that?

[freddydk]

didn't get anything

You can also try my private email address [email protected] - I don't use that normally, but you can try to email that.
