CF Push Fails Through Plugin

[sorvis]

Randomly we see this error message while doing a CF Push using the plug-in with VSTS:

If we run a custom powershell script instead the just does a custom CF Push through the CLI it works. Would this be a bug in the plugin or some other issue? Pivotal support referred me here.

Thank you very much for your help.

The VSTS plugin is running the CF CLI. Can you paste the exact command that is failing from your log? You can search for the [command] tag. If you use the command in a script does that work consistently?

Where are you running the build? On your own agents or VSTS Hosted agents?

Thanks,
Madhuri

Unfortunately, we do not have a full stash of those logs saved anymore. If we reproduce the issue we can post better logs though.

We were running the build on our own build agents.

Closing old issue since there is no update.
