Goreleaser fails in AzureDevOps Pipeline with ##[error]Unhandled: Unexpected identifier

[heilingbrunner]

Hello,

i try to run a simple pipeline script, but it always fails with the error mentioned above.
I have searched for goreleaser ##[error]Unhandled: Unexpected identifier but i found no result.

My script:

# customize trigger to your needs
trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - main
      - refs/tags/*

variables:
  GO_VERSION: "1.19.2"

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

jobs:
  - job: Release
    steps:
      - task: GoTool@0
        inputs:
          version: "$(GO_VERSION)"
        displayName: Install Go
      - task: goreleaser@0
        inputs:
          version: 'latest'
          distribution: 'goreleaser'
          args: ''
          workdir: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)'

The result from the pipeline:

Hi @heilingbrunner,

I could replicate the error with the reference project on my side! I will dig into the code to find out what triggers the error message.

Sorry for the inconvenience it may caused to you :(

[heilingbrunner]

I will wait. 👍

Hi @heilingbrunner,

With the latest version of the Extension it should work! You may need to delete and reinstall the extension in the marketplace. Just take a look.

What was the issue?

Extension in Azure DevOps are only running in production with Node v10.21.0 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/extend/develop/add-build-task?view=azure-devops#prerequisites)

dependabot updated the Axios libary to > 1.x and this was not compatible anymore with node 10.

Somehow, there is some caching going on so I could not see it in my tests. Only delete extension and reinstall showed the issue!

Looking for your feedback @heilingbrunner

And @caarlos0, we can close this if everything works fine!

[heilingbrunner]

I will check it tomorrow. Thank you.

[caarlos0]

nice @dirien , thanks for looking into this!

Hi @dirien,

Super freut mich @heilingbrunner! I will take care, that this will not happen anymore, telling dependabot to ignore the Axio lib!
