TFS | VSTS - Custom Build Task execution cannot find VstsTaskSdk.psd1

My team is working on a TFS/VSTS custom build task that utilizes the vsts-task-lib.

We followed the instructions on this github page to include it with your custom task.

I have the vsts-task-lib installed locally for interactive testing, and that is executing ok. I am able to get the extension uploaded and installed into my VSTS account/project.

However, when I line everything up and execute a Release on VSTS, I get the following:

I'm using vsts-task-lib v0.8.0 and my task root file directory looks like this:

|-- apprendaDeploy <task root>
  |----- ps_modules
     |----- VstsTaskSDK
        |----- 0.8.0
            |------ <corresponding sdk files, including VstsTaskSdk.psd1>
  |----- common.ps1
  |----- deploy.ps1
  |----- icon.png
  |----- task.json

Any ideas?

You need to move the SDK files to ...\VstsTaskSdk\* rather than them being in a version specific folder. I ran into the same issue and resolved it this way.
