Hi @gmoulin and welcome to the community !

Are you sure that the logs comes from an MS-Hosted agent ? If yes, can you give me the image name ? Given the paths, i would rather say that it comes from a self-hosted one.

Message is pretty clear then, the JAVA_HOME is either not set or not accessible from the user that runs the pipeline. Can you check by adding a powershell script with the corresponding inline script :

Write-Host "JAVA_HOME : $env:JAVA_HOME"
& java --version

And see the result ?

Thanks.

Hi @mickaelcaro.

This had been executed directly in the cloud in an Azure DevOps pipieline, we don"t have an on-premise build server.

Which image version are you using ?

Was using win1803. It works with windows-2019.
Thanks @mickaelcaro

Perfect ! Don’t know why they didn’t set JAVA_HOME in this particular flavor, but glad that it works.

Thank you.
