Extension package is malformed/corrupted

[yahavi]

I'm using tfx extension publish to publish my extension to Azure DevOps marketplace.
Publishing with tfx-cli 0.6.4 works fine.
With 0.7.4 and above I'm getting an unclear error message:
error: Extension package is malformed/corrupted:

I couldn't find any problems in my extension. Without any logs information I can't even know where to start looking.
How can I get more information about this error?

I'm using MacOS.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue, I noticed the package created is able to be published through the UI. Any updates?

How big is the vsix file? I've had this problem when my package grew beyond 19MB. tfx-cli saw this same error, but website would still accept the extension. This link led me to reproduce and prove the 19MB limit: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/668297/size-limit-to-publish-azure-devops-pipelines-custo.html

@jflinchbaugh yes, I can approve that TFS CLI cannot publish my extension if it above 19MB.
However, In the documentation under Check package size, it is mentioned explicitly that:

Check the size of the vsix after it is packaged. If greater than 50 MB then it needs to be optimized.

For me it looks like an issue with TFS CLI or Azure DevOps REST API.
Can someone from the TFS CLI team take a look at this issue?
Thanks!

Facing the same issue. Is there a workaround, other than reducing size?

I am facing the same issue as well. With the documentation clearly stating that we are allowed to be 50MB or less and marketplace web UI accepting the package with no issues, I think this should be fixed. This might be needed by various release pipelines as well.

I also think this is strange. The ticket says it was fixed with an update and I am pretty sure that I have the latest tfx-cli version, and this github issue is still open.

Same here....

I just faced this issue trying to publish to marketplace with tfx-cli 0.9.0.

Also took a lot of searching to find this thread. It would be great if at least the error message was more specific and indicated the issue is package size at least.

This issue is really limiting our development and release process.
Any intention to fix it?

The problem with uploading large vsix files has been fixed. The problem was server-side so there is no need to update tfx.

@dwilsonactual Are you sure this has been resolved?

Uploads fine in the UI.

[dwilsonactual]

@wjdavis5 how large is your vsix file?

[wjdavis5]

38MB
