pnpcore: Applying template with ClientSidePages in template definition fails

Describe the bug

Using the PnP.Powershell preview module, I try to apply a template with the new Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate command. Provisionning is done but fails at the end with ClientSidePages (I actually have only one quite simple Home page definition) and raises a NullReferenceException. If I comment the ClientSidePages in my xml file, no error. If I use the (soon-to-be) legacy Apply-PnPProvisionningTemplate command, template is applied without error.

Steps to reproduce

Use Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate to apply a template with ClientSidePages node.

Expected behavior

Template applied without errors.

Environment details (development & target environment)

OS Windows 10
Additional details : Using PnP.PowerShell 0.3.33-nightly

I have tested the new PnP.PowerShell 1.2.0 and it’s now working like a charm. Thanks !

Hi @jansenbe, tried again this morning and NullReferenceException still happens. If comment the pnp:ClientSidePages node, provisionning ends without error.

I checked to update PnP.PowerShell to .34-nightly but the last version available is still .33-nightly : PSGallery

I’ll give another try as soon as .34 is available.
