Unable to publish solution from Visual Studio Code Power Platform Tools?

Question

When use the CLI to publish the solution, e.g. pac pcf push -pp <lab>, the solution temporary imported in the environment, but followed by an "automatic" uninstall, hence the solution couldn't never been stored. Any ideas why the uninstall is triggered? Thank you.

Hi Chen, Ken,

Thanks for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

It seems that the solution is being automatically uninstalled after using the pac pcf push command. This behavior may be caused by the CLI treating it as a temporary import. Here are a few steps to resolve this:

1. Use the --no-uninstall Flag: Run the command with this flag: pac pcf push --no-uninstall This prevents the CLI from uninstalling the solution automatically.
2. Verify Solution State: Make sure the solution is in an unmanaged state. Managed solutions can trigger uninstall behavior after updates.
3. Manual Import: If the issue persists, try manually importing the solution through the Maker Portal. This can serve as a workaround to ensure the solution is stored properly.
4. Check for CLI Updates: Ensure that your Power Platform Tools and CLI (pac) are up to date, as this may be a bug resolved in newer versions.
