Unable to authenticate using 'Authenticate a Salesforce Org' in Release Pipelines (Azure Pipelines)

[azlam-abdulsalam]

We are investigating Authentication failures while using sfpowerscripts Authenticate Org Task, The underlying sfdx-cli command has broken the contract, for eg: if you are using sfdx-cli to authenticate an org in release pipeline, the new version seems to have a requirement for the project directory,

We will be updating for any workarounds or any patch required for the tasks!

We have just raised the issue with cli team forcedotcom/cli#615

Here is a temporary work around for this issue

• Unzip the below zip directory
• Import the .json file contained in the zip directory into task group ( Task Groups/Import)
• Save the task group
• Add this task group into your release pipelines before authentication

Create a Dummy SFDX Project Task Directory.zip

Closing this as salesforce cli team switched core version back to 2.11.0
