I am experiencing a DevOps pipeline problem after upgrading to D365FO version 10.0.44. If I switch back to 10.0.43 files, the pipeline build successfully.
My cloud-hosted pipeline is using (the latest) NuGet files from 8/18/2025, version 10.0.2263.109
Docentric AX version is 3.4.9.2
##[error]D:\a_tasks\CEPMSBuildMicrosoftHostedAgent_799c55d7-54d3-49e5-911b-c31877a3bb63\0.0.32\HostedAgentBuild\Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Tools.BuildTasks.targets(85,5): Error : Compiling Compiling DocentricAX failed. Log could not be found or read.
The DevOps pipeline problem that occurred after upgrading NuGet files from 10.0.43 to version 10.0.44 was caused by a cocktail of ingredients.
a) NuGet packages
I uploaded first the newest âApplicationsâ files, even âApplication 1â and âApplication 2â. I did not notice that âPlatformâ NuGet also had hotfixes:
âPlat Update68 - HOTFIX - Platform Build Referenceâ
âPlat Update68 - HOTFIX - Compiler Toolsâ
These hotfixes do not contain â10.0.44â, so I did never consider them, until yesterday.
b) packages.config
During upgrade I had followed what I thought was the Microsoft recommendation, to use the two âMicrosoft.Dynamics.AX.Application1+2.DevALM.BuildXppâ files.
Somehow it worked better for me using the larger file: âMicrosoft.Dynamics.AX.Application.DevALM.BuildXppâ
c) YAML files
I had to examine my YAML files and change to the latest âtask versionâ for most.
Example:
task: CEPMSBuildMicrosoftHostedAgent@0 â change to âŚHostedAgent@1
task: XppCreatePackage@0 â change to XppCreatePackage@2
We have Azure DevOps Pipeline Build issue with Docentric.AX 3.4.9.2 version with NuGet packages PU68/10.0.44 - Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.DevALM.BuildXpp - base version: 7.0.7606.56 and PU68/10.0.44 - Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage - base version: 7.0.7606.56.
An error message is:
##[error]D:\a\8\NuGets\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage\DevAlm\Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Tools.BuildTasks.17.0.targets(85,5):

As mentioned, this is not a Docentric issue but a NuGets version issue. The specific file is missing in your environment. If you upgrade your NuGets, as described in the forum post, this issue should be resolved. This has already been confirmed by a couple of other customers who faced the same error.
Could you please provide a screenshot showing your NuGets version in your environment? This will help us better understand the situation.
Here I will paste the screenshot of Azure DevOps packges.config file change due to upgrade to 10.0.44 App/Platform version. Let me know which other info you would need.
