Running during yaml BUILd pipeline and v5 results in 'You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression'

[fredrik-hellmangroup]

During our swap over from classic pipelines we want to do post-deployment tasks for updating apim. This has previously been done in classic releasepipeline so configuration should work and we have used the 'export yaml' part.

Also tested doing adjuments to configuration but i cannot get it to work.

As others have said here I've tested downgrading TLS to 1.0 from 1.2 but this didn't solve anything.
