CI Build Failing - Task 3 Exercise 2

[nawijesi]

I’m currently trying to do Task 3 – Exercise 2 in the DSC Workshop linked: https://github.com/dsccommunity/DscWorkshop/blob/dev/Exercises/Task3/Exercise2.md

After having followed all the steps and running the pipeline on the agent the build step is failing

This is the error I’m getting:

I’ve played around and tweaked settings but still get the same error (I am running on dev branch), here are the current settings that the build is running on (exact as tutorial):

Just wondering if this is something you are aware about and may already have a solution for.

Sorry for the inconvenience, that was my fault. Can you give it another try? I have fixed that issue in d3f0e69.

BTW, you can run the build also locally without the pipeline for better troubleshooting.
