Expected or Desired Behavior
Adding multiple folders with Add-PnPFolder to a library
Observed Behavior
Runbook runs very slow and gets Suspended finally.
Max. 3 folders created
Looking at the error messages, it seems that somehow it even goes into a loop of repeating commands.
Steps to Reproduce
Code used:
$dcSharePointRootUrl = "https://XXXX.sharepoint.com/sites/"
$SiteUrl = "13Test"
$credential = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "XXX" ;
$targetSite = $dcSharePointRootUrl + $SiteUrl
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $targetSite -Credentials $credential
$targetFolder = "/sites/"+ $SiteUrl + "/Shared Documents"
Add-PnPFolder -Name "Technical proposal" -Folder $targetFolder
Add-PnPFolder -Name "Procurement" -Folder $targetFolder
Add-PnPFolder -Name "Engineering" -Folder $targetFolder
Add-PnPFolder -Name "Commercial proposal" -Folder $targetFolder
Error messages: Add-PnPFolder : A file or folder with the name https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/13Test/Shared Documents/Technical proposal already exists. At line:16 char:1 + Add-PnPFolder -Name "Technical proposal" -Folder $targetFolder +
Maybe i should have posted it @microsoft is it related to the PowerShell version online
fixed it myself .
A runbooks needs a variable for a command:
$dummy = Add-PnPFolder -Name "Technical proposal" -Folder $targetFolder
