[ALM Accelerator - BUG]: exportAndDeleteUnmanaged pipeline fails if delete takes more than 4 minutes

[sefa-phaag]

Describe the issue

If deleting the managed solution takes longer than 4 minutes, the pipeline fails even if the delete ultimately succeeds. This is because the default timeout for pac solution delete is 4 minutes and it doesn't appear to have a timeout or async option like other pac solution methods, although perhaps there is a workaround similar to the one outlined here.

Expected Behavior

The pipeline should only fail if the solution truly fails to delete.

What component are you experiencing the issue with?

ALM Accelerator Pipelines

What solution version are you using?

May 2023

Steps To Reproduce

1. In the canvas app, attempt to delete a moderately complex solution

Anything else?

@sefa-phaag The error was thrown by the pac CLI. I have logged an issue to address this error.

[RajeevPentyala]

@sefa-phaag n the latest pac version, the default timeout has been increased from 4 minutes to 30. For more details, refer microsoft/powerplatform-vscode#608 .Please feel free to reopen the issue if any further questions.

@sefa-phaag This has been fixed in the latest release. Please install the latest version of the toolkit following the instructions for installing updates. Note that if you do not remove the unmanaged layers as described there you will not receive updates from us.
