When trying to publish an ADF from master to adf_publish I am getting an error:
Error while publishing: Cannot read property 'linkedService' of undefined
There are no other details shown. I tried looking through the master branch and do not see anything that might be causing it, but also I am not sure what I need to be looking for.
Any ideas where to look?
Thanks!

Hello @John Aherne and thank you for your question.
It sounds to me like something is missing a dataset reference.
Since "linkedService" is a property, and the entity itself is undefined, I am reasonable confident it is a missing Dataset. This dataset can be missing either by deletion of the dataset, or by creation of something which reference datasets, not being configured correctly.
If no datasets were deleted, then perhaps a pipeline was copied to your repo, but it referenced a dataset which was not copied in.
In the UI, clicking "Validate All" should find the problem, and clicking on the result should move focus to the problem item.
Please let me know if this helps or not.
Thank you.
"Validate All" didn't return any issues which was why I was asking. We could even run the pipeline without issue. The error only popped up when we tried to publish. We ended up fixing by accident when we deleted and recreated a dataset.
Thank you for letting me know you resolved the issue @John Aherne . I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you better. These issues can be trickier than they should be. Is there anything else I can do to assist you?
Thanks for following up @MartinJaffer-MSFT .
All good now, but if you can prod the app team to include a file name or object name in errors like this that would be brilliant! :)

I am also getting the exact same error. I did the same thing which John has mentioned above, deleted the dataset and recreated but the issue still persists. We are able to execute the pipeline without issues but only while publishing we are getting an error saying 'Error while publishing: Cannot read property 'linkedService' of undefined' .
Would love to know any inputs on troubleshooting.
Thank you for sharing @Pradeep Patil . It is helpful to me when multiple people cite the same problem.
You mentioned you deleted and recreated the dataset. How were you able to determine which dataset it was? Was it the only thing to be published?
@Pradeep Patil , @John Aherne , I will make an internal request for troubleshooting guidance, especially on how to find which item is missing.
@Pradeep Patil , @John Aherne the product team would actually like to take a closer look and engage on a deeper level.
Could you please email me at AzCommunity@microsoft.com with the following information:
Export ARM template and attach the download Download support files and attach the download. If you add my name in thte subject like ATTN: MartinJaffer-MSFT , I will be able to find it easier.
Please let me know once you have sent the email.
Thank you for your patience.
Martin Jaffer
@Pradeep Patil , @John Aherne We have reproduced the issue, and it is a bug. The product team is now actively working on a fix.
@Pradeep Patil , @John Aherne I have more news. Please check any Get Metadata activities in your pipeline. This can be caused by a Get Metadata with an empty dataset reference. We hope to have a remedy with better messaging soon.
I have confirmation the fix has been deployed. Please refresh to recieve.
If you are still experiencing it , please let me know. I will monitor this thread for a few more days.

Hi @MartinJaffer-MSFT , i've sent an email with a bunch of details regarding a similar error to above. The key difference are that i'm seeing the error when using the Azure Data Factor utilities NPM package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities)
I've used the subject ATTN: MartinJaffer-MSFT.
Incase anyone else searches for the error, this is what i'm getting in the CI pipeline:

Hi @MartinJaffer-MSFT , I was searching for the above error QuentinMiller has raised above and seen this. We too are having the same issue it just started happening today only when using the npm utilities to build and validate the arm templates. It is failling with the below error, of note we can publish in the ADF portal fine and it generates the arm templates fine.

@Nathan Land-admin , @MartinJaffer-MSFT , through our support channel we have provided enough information that the issue has been identified and the team hope to have it resolved shortly (with a day ~12-24 hrs or so)
Thank you for letting us know the status @Quinten Miller !
