Unable to deploy package even with ModuleToRemove.txt

Posted on by JV13

Hi, We are trying to uninstall an ISV (Avalara isv) from a sandbox environment. We have removed the model from Dev, did a full build and sync and it succeded with out any error. Later we created a deployable package with our custom module, created the text file named ModuleToRemove.txt, added isv model name (avamodel) in the package\AOSService\Scripts folder as per MS documentation but when we try to deploy the package, we are still getting the error "The selected package is missing the following modules that are currently deployed on your environment. You must create an all-in-one deployable package that contains all your code customizations and ISV solutions. More information can be found at the following link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2118104. Missing module(s): ["avamodel"]"

Anyone has any idea on what might be the issue.

Hi JV13,

For sandboxes, you indeed need to have an all-in-one deployable package. That means that you need to prepare a deployable package with all other ISVs and customizations, excluding the Avalara model(s). Probably you have done this already. I thought it is not a blocking error. It should be possible to continue with the deployment and consider this as a warning.

Hi @André Arnaud de Calavon,

Thanks for replying, I have included the other models in the package. The error dialog also lists only the avamodel as missing. The dialog has only "Close" button and there is no proceed or ok button to proceed for deployment, hence it is an error limiting the deployment and not a warning. Any further thoughts would be really helpful

Hi JV13,

Is there another customization model having a reference to this AvaModel? I see quite often that developers just include all available models as a reference to a customization model, even when no objects from these models are used in the customization.

Hi @André Arnaud de Calavon,

We are able to resolve the issue, the issue is the moduleToRemove file has an additional .txt in its name. Its created by someone else and I am asked to look into this issue after its failing. This combined with hiding of file extensions property in the file explorer, I overlooked it and was checking what else could be missing. Once its corrected, the package is now deploying fine.

Thanks for providing your valuable suggestions.

Hi JV13,

Thanks for sharing your solution. This was a tricky one. However, when reviewing the screenshot you shared before, we should be able to see this...
