Power Platform Solution Import Task v0.0.82 failing to import in the final PublishCustomizations part, even if tasks is running async

[MannyGrewal]

Hi there,
Eversince the upgrade last week from 0.0.77 to 0.0.82 our solution is not getting imported and consistently failing with this new Asynchronous import model.

We are getting this error
'Error: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:04:00. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.' ]

The settings for your import task are
-AsyncOperation: true
-MaxAsyncWaitTime: '240' # 4 hours

Below are the full logs

Usage: pac solution import [--path] [--activate-plugins] [--force-overwrite] [--skip-dependency-check] [--import-as-holding] [--publish-changes] [--convert-to-managed] [--async] [--max-async-wait-time] [--settings-file]

--path Path to solution zip file. If not specified, assumes the current folder is a cdsproj project. (alias: -p)
--activate-plugins Activate plug-ins and workflows on the solution (alias: -ap)
--force-overwrite Force an overwrite of unmanaged customizations (alias: -f)
--skip-dependency-check Skip dependency check against dependencies flagged as product update (alias: -s)
--import-as-holding Import the solution as a holding solution (alias: -h)
--publish-changes Publish your changes upon a successful import (alias: -pc)
--convert-to-managed Convert as Managed Solution (alias: -cm)
--async Imports solution asynchronously (alias: -a)
--max-async-wait-time Max asynchronous wait time in minutes. Default value is 60 minutes (alias: -wt)
--settings-file The .json file with the deployment settings for connection references and environment variables.

The same code ran like breeze on the previous version last week.

I am experiencing this issue too.

Thank you for your patience, we have identified the problematic code and are working on a solution now. The fix will ensure that when the solution import task has both "Import solution as asynchronous operation" and "Publish All Customizations" set to true the publish step will be asynchronous.

Proposed solution

• Introduce task input parameter for publish all in Power Platform Build Tools
• Correct underlying code to treat async requests in similar fashion between import and publish based on task input
