Tool exits with message "Exiting with return code: -1"

I have ran the tool and it executes perfectly like how it is. At the end of migration I get the below message "Exiting with return code: 0".

Normally, I wouldnt bother. However, I am implementing the migration using Azure DevOps release pipelines. With this message the deployment stage always fails.

Does someone has any idea about this error

Solution

  • It looks like robocopy exit codes 0-7 indicate success. I changed from command line execution to powershell command and added this to the bottom of your script:

    if ($lastexitcode -lt 8) { $lastexitcode = 0 }

    This works for me.
