Azure-pipelines-tasks: Unable to use logging command in Powershell on VSTS release task

[sufyannisar]

According to Logging Commands I should be able to log details on VSTS details window.

But when I use Write-Host in Posershell, the Release fails with error:

A command that prompts the user failed because the host program or the command type does not support user interaction. Try a host program that supports user interaction, such as the Windows PowerShell Console or Windows PowerShell ISE, and remove prompt-related commands from command types that do not support user interaction, such as Windows PowerShell workflows.

I am using PowerShellOnTargetMachines Using File

We dont support Write-Host in PowerShellOnTargetMachines task. Please use Write-Verbose -Verbose "your log" for logging.

Let us know if you need anymore help.

I am assuming you are able to get unblocked by using Write-Verbose -Verbose. Please feel free to reopen the issue if you need any help on this.

@sufyannisar You can also try using Write-Output "your logs" to display your logs. That will avoid the [debug] prefix that comes with Write-Verbose

I was also getting the same issue. But below code worked for me.

Write-Output "##vso[task.logissue type=warning;] Error Message"
