Migration Terminates after connection with no error or anything to console

[BBurnett76]

I am trying to do a very simple migration of a single work item to start. I am connecting using an access token which works but then the migration stops with no messages and nothing created. I have not created any iterations or area paths as I believe that is now wrapped into the work item migration processor. The WIQL expression that I am using seems valid as I have used it elsewhere and it works fine. Any help would be much appreciated. I have also tried just using WIQLQueryBit and WIQLOrderBit but get the same result...

Configuration.json:

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stumped!!

You would need to fork and then clone the repo and dee if you can debug in VS2022 to find the issue...

[BBurnett76]

So at a glance the config looks right? Was concerned that the level of output to console was not like any I've seen, other comments and in the tutorial video comments are a lot.more verbose...

[MrHinsh]

There are random "CollectionName": "https://dev.azure.com/.../"!

Apart from that I don't see any other obvious issues

[BBurnett76]

Thanks. I tried removing the CollectionName attribute and it made no difference.

Will look at trying to sort out the debugging.

[BBurnett76]

Just in case someone else if having the issue. The problem was that I had not provided enough access to the PAT (my org doesn't allow full access). Fixing it up to allow as much as possible got me through.

[MrHinsh]

It should give you a 401 if the PAT does not have enough access.

I wonder why it just exited.

Noticed this in the ReadMe ... so set it this way and it worked..
