Description
We are trying to modularize our PnP Provisioning templates by using ProvisioningTemplateFile references:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pnp:Provisioning xmlns:pnp="http://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2021/03/ProvisioningSchema">
<pnp:Preferences Generator="PnP.Framework, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
<pnp:Templates ID="CockpitSiteTemplate">
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplateFile ID="CockpitTermGroups" File="cockpit_termGroups.xml" />
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplateFile ID="CockpitSiteColumns" File="cockpit_siteFields.xml" />
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplateFile ID="CockpitContentTypes" File="cockpit_contentTypes.xml" />
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplateFile ID="CockpitSiteRequests" File="cockpit_list_siteRequests.xml" />
</pnp:Templates>
</pnp:Provisioning>
Nothing happens when we apply the template via Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate. The engine is intialized and immediately quits we no error. As if the template was empty.
I already know about the possibilities to use xi:include but I would prefer ProvisioningTemplateFile to avoid manually changing the referenced templates.
Is ProvisioningTemplateFile supposed to work? Any working examples?
