Octopus step templates throws always warning about <>f__AnonymousType0`1

ybhole

Hello,

I am using SQL Change Automation 3.0.5.2759 together with Octopus deploy v 2018.3.6 and  Redgate - Create Database Release and Redgate - Deploy from Database Release step templates always throw warning because of which we never have clean green Octopus build. Octopus build is marked as success with warning which is

Telemetry: Cannot add type. The type name '<>f__AnonymousType0`1' already exists.

Check the attached complete log from the step template.

Best Regards !

This won't cause any issues with you deployment using SQL Change Automation.

This should be addressed by installing PowerShell Get 2 on the tentacle.
You can do this by running the following as an admin in PowerShell on the tentacle

Update-Module -Name PowerShellGet



More info:
The problem occurs because you have PowerShell Get 1.0.0.1 on the machine, and we require at least 1.6. So we install that but due to an issue in PowerShell Get, you get the warning when we install version 2 of the module.

Thanks for the support. After installing PowerShellGet I get no more warnings in Octopus Deploy.

By the way I have to execute following command (with -Force option) on Octopus tentacle server

Install-Module –Name PowerShellGet –Force

as mentioned at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/gallery/installing-psget
Without -Force option gave following errors
