XplatGenerateReleaseNotes error in yml pipeline - Cannot find module 'azure-pipelines-task-lib/task'

[Smiffc0]

Hi Richard. I have developed some custom extensions using the test console and am now trying to run the same via a yml pipeline but I get the following error: ##[error]Error: Cannot find module 'azure-pipelines-task-lib/task'.

The extension file is in the form module.exports = {...

Below is the config set on the task:

- task: XplatGenerateReleaseNotes@3
  inputs:
    outputfile: '<path_to>/ReleaseNotes.md'
    templateLocation: 'File'
    templatefile: '<path_to>/simple-template.md'
    customHandlebarsExtensionFile: 'customHandlebars.js'
    customHandlebarsExtensionFolder: '<path_to_customHandlebarsExtensionFolder>'
    # all the other parameters required

Am i missing something? Do I have to run a task prior to this to install the azure module?

Many thanks

No that looks right to me, you can check the log to see the loading process having a variable system.debug=true will give more detail.

I have never tried writing a module that contains API calls, all mine are various forms of object manipulation, it might be you need some imports in your module.
