Installing fonts into the container build action.

[FMDSimon]

We are depending on a 3rd party app from Yaveon. Currently the workflow fails on app "Yaveon 365 Process Base", however we are not certain that the other apps would succeed, as they are not attempted.

The error we encounter is "Invalid font family: the font 'Segoe UI' is not installed"

Yaveon support has provided us with the attached code (See "Yaveon install fonts.txt") to resolve the issue, but we have not been able to implement the fix in the workflow.

We have tried to incorporate installing fonts into several different points in the build step as we assume the BC container must be created and running before installing the fonts.

We have not been able to add this code without running into other errors.

Can you assist in adding these fonts to the BC container?

Unexpected error when running action. Error Message: Could not install the extension 'Yaveon 365 Process Base' by 'YAVEON GMBH' (version '11.4.99.0') on tenant 'default' and company 'CRONUS Danmark A/S' due to the following error:

If you haven't tried this already I would try adding a NewBcContainer.ps1 override in your build (See docs here:
https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go/blob/main/Scenarios/settings.md#run-alpipeline-script-override)

That way you can add the fonts during the build just after the container has been created. If this doesn't work you might need to get further help from Yaveon support

Hi again
We have now tried to add the changes you suggested in sepreate ps1 files, and we added it to AL-Go/Settings.json file. However, we continue to get the same error as before. Do you have a suggestion for ensuring that these fonts are installed in the container?

[aholstrup1]

It looks like you've created a setting called NewBcContainer and set it to .AL-Go/New-BcContainerOverride.ps1. This is not the way to use script overrides in AL-Go.

Try renaming the New-BcContainerOverride.ps1 file to NewBcContainer.ps1 - AL-Go will look for a file with this particular name.

Hi
We have now tried to add the changes you suggested by rename the ps1 file and add updateing the Settings.json file. However i still have the same error. I have tried with and without the Settings.json update?

You don't need a NewBCContainer setting in your settings file so that shouldn't matter :) The file just needs to exist and it needs to be in the right location

How is the repository structured? What do you have under the .AL/Go folder?

This is the al-go folder on the repo.
