Workaround for now is to run my\additionalsetup.ps1 e.g. through custom my\servicesettings.ps1 because this is runned from navinstall.ps1 which is running even for filesOnly container. But there is no way how to do that when running Run-ALValidation. |

Hmm, it seems more complicated. When I resolved the problem with connection, I have problem with another code running in the get-bccontainersession failing on error: Because it is running script "prompt.ps1" |

Ok, I did new research and there are the differences when running from outside container and from within container In both cases, this script was used to try to create the container: $password = 'randompassword'
Write-Host "admin/$password"
$credential= (New-Object pscredential 'admin', (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
$Parameters = @{
"accept_eula" = $true
"accept_insiderEula" = $true
"containerName" = 'test'
"artifactUrl" = 'https://bcartifacts-exdbf9fwegejdqak.b02.azurefd.net/sandbox/24.2.20227.21047/cz'

+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WinRMOperationTimeout,PSSessionOpenFailedBased on the analysis of the output, the exact point where the script fails when running from within container, is this line: I am not sure, if there is problem that the container is not set correctly to be able to connect to it from within another container or it is set differently because it was created from within container, because e.g. content of script my\AdditionalSetup.ps1 are different for both containers. But I think this script was not triggered at all during the startup (I do not see the output of it in the output of the script). |

Ok, after few days of research, I have found the original source of the problem. This is the result: Problems:
Code to create the container inside run-alvalidation: $NewBcContainer = { Param([Hashtable]$parameters) New-BcContainer @parameters; Invoke-ScriptInBcContainer $parameters.ContainerName -scriptblock { $progressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' } }Workaround: {
Param([Hashtable]$parameters)
$parameters += @{
"MyScripts" = @(@{'start.ps1'='. c:\run\HelperFunctions.ps1;. c:\run\SetupVariables.ps1;. c:\run\my\additionalsetup.ps1;remove-item "c:\run\my\start.ps1" -force;. (Join-Path $runPath $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)'})
}
New-BcContainer @parameters
Invoke-ScriptInBcContainer $parameters.ContainerName -scriptblock { $progressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'}

We switched to using containerized Azure DevOps agents and since that, running Run-ALValidation fails on New-BCContainer step with error "Error trying to establish session, retrying in 5 seconds".
After the research, I have found, that there is one step missing when filesOnly switch is combined with running the script inside container, because it will never run configuration for winrm because this.
Bare script to run inside container which lead to the problem:
Output of the script:
Then, when you try to connect/run script on the container (or anything what is getting the container session):
will lead to this error:
I was able to track the source of the problem to this line:
navcontainerhelper/ContainerHandling/New-NavContainer.ps1
Line 1591 in b241069
Because we are inside container, when this runs, this code will be executed and will fill the code into my\additionalsetup.ps1 file. But it will be not executed because we have filesOnly switch, which will prevent running navstart.ps1 which runs inside the my\additionalsetup.ps1. This lead to error because right after the new-bccontainer there is invoke-scriptinbccontainer (which runs get-bccontianersession inside). See
navcontainerhelper/AppHandling/Run-AlValidation.ps1
Line 286 in b241069
I can do workaround but I do not know how to fix the code, because I do not know the context why the code is written like that.
I am attaching even full output of the original run of the Run-ALValidation from our pipeline:
