Research direction

Start with the extractor pipeline's “Set Extraction Variables” stage and the locally used Windows extractor.exe on the windows-latest agent. Compare the pipeline behavior with the documented Windows-agent setup and determine which configuration change prevents the “--output was unexpected at this time” and stderr failures; done means all pipeline stages pass.

Question Details

I wanted to use the windows extractor file locally in an Azure DevOps repo rather than calling out to the internet with the Git URL. To use this, I must also set the Pool Image to windows-latest as using windows agents in Azure DevOps. But by doing this I'm constantly getting a pipeline error (extractor pipeline) ##[error]--output was unexpected at this time , ##[error]Script has output to stderr. Failing as failOnStdErr is set to true.

When using windows-latest and only using the windows extractor.exe file, are there any other amendments that need to be made?

Expected behavior

All stages pass in pipeline

Actual behavior

Failing at 'Set Extraction Variables'

Reproduction Steps

Change to windows-latest
Run windows extractor file locally rather than using git URL
