I’m facing the same issue as well (using node v12.4.0 and azure-pipelines-task-lib 2.10.0). It seems like the problem is the buffer size to sync-request.

I had to change line 25 in sync-request/index.js to include max buffer size to make it work. var res = spawnSync(process.execPath, [require.resolve('./lib/worker.js')], {input: req, maxBuffer: 50 * 1024 * 1024});

I’m using azure-pipelines-task-lib version: 2.9.5 in Azure DevOps - Node 10

The error mentioned above comes up on Ubuntu 18 as well as Windows…

When will this be fixed?
