tfx extension publish - Extension package is malformed/corrupted

See original GitHub issue

Hi All,

I am using tfx 0.8.3, I am able to create .VSIX file locally and publish it. I am doing the same thing using the Azure DevOps pipeline yaml referring to Step 6 on this link

The pipeline is able to create and publish package with the name foo.VSIX. The download task is also able to download the package with the same name foo.VSIX. However, when the pipeline runs the publish stage, it tries to run the below command. The **.gen** is getting appended from somewhere an hence I think it is throwing the malformed error. I am not appending anything of this sort in my yaml publish task

tfx extension publish --json --no-color --service-url https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ --auth-type pat --token *** --vsix foo.gen.vsix --debug-log-stream stderr 0 [ '[command]/opt/hostedtoolcache/tfx/0.8.3/x64/bin/tfx extension publish --json --no-color --service-url

Also, the foo.VSIX size is 26,460 KB when generated,

I am not sure the issue is caused because of the .gen getting added or the VSIX size.

Yaml for publish task

              displayName: 'Publish ADO extension to marketplace'
              inputs:
                connectTo: 'VsTeam'

Hi Jesse,

Alright, so did a npx depcheck and I found there were couple of unused dependencies, I did remove all unused dependencies and then by using this task in my pipeline. It worked finally. I am still wondering, what caused it. But it worked.
