[Bug]: Error in NextMajor docker: Cannot synchronize the extension because no synchronized extension could be found to satisfy the dependency definition for Application Test Library by Microsoft 28.0.0.0.

[PeterConijn]

BCContainerhelper version

6.1.6

Describe the issue

When downloading a NextMajor docker (v28) with test libraries, I am running into the following error:

Cannot synchronize the extension because no synchronized extension could be found to satisfy the dependency definition for Application Test Library by Microsoft 28.0.0.0.

When downloading the docker without the test toolkit, it works as expected (but I don't have test libraries etc.)

Command or script used to produce the issue

$artifactUrl = Get-BcArtifactUrl -type sandbox -select NextMajor -country w1 -accept_insiderEula
$credential = New-Object pscredential 'username', (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'password' -AsPlainText -Force)
$licenseFile = "C:\Temp\BC_Development.bclicense"
New-BCContainer -accept_eula -accept_insiderEula -containerName W1NextMajor -updateHost -artifactUrl $artifactUrl -licenseFile $licenseFile -auth UserPassword -credential $credential -isolation hyperv -includeTestToolkit -includeTestLibrariesOnly

Does this happen every time?

I believe this bug was fixed with version 6.1.9 of BCContainerHelper so you'd need to upgrade to the latest released version to get this fix: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/BcContainerHelper/6.1.10

I believe we also had to push an update to the image so you once you have upgraded try using the "-alwaysPull" switch next time you run New-BCContainer. That way you're sure you get the latest generic image

Let us know if you still run into this issue afterwards. Then we'll take another look
