Hi @undefined77,
I've been trying to replicate this issue but without success with our recent versions of Octopus.
Could you please provide the error you're seeing with this step in your deployment process? This may give us a better idea as to what is causing the issue.
Thank you, Henrik
hi Henrik, we use 2019.3.5 LTS. Unfortunately we do not store all of the previous builds and I have disabled the release notes to be included for now as it fails. Previously I have enabled all the information to be included in the webhook message, also the release notes, when the release notes include special characters like & of | it just fails and throw an exception and does not send a message
Hi @undefined77,
I've tried to replicate the issue on a local environment running Octopus 2019.3.5 but I am still unable to replicate the issue.
Can you please tell me what OS and PowerShell version your Octopus Server is running on? And also, if the step is configured to run on a deployment target, the same details for the deployment target the step runs on.
Cheers, Henrik
