I currently get an error when I try to run "pac install latest". But I am able download the latest installer and update without any issue.
Based on my download history it is powerapps-cli-0.1.51.
EDIT: It is happening in the latest version (powerapps-cli-0.2.67.msi) as well.
Hi rajyraman,
Can you try to uninstall the "Microsoft PowerApps CLI" msi? Then try to re-install it again. Upon successful install please to to re-run the "pac install latest".
Thanks,
Alex
Uninstalled, reinstalled and then ran the pac install latest command. No change in behaviour.
Found the issue. The commandline to update the package is missing double quotes for OutputDirectory, as the output directory contains space.
Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention. I'll file a bug against this.
Uses-feature looks great... any documentation regarding the usage?

Just finished giving mock data a test run, and honestly guys, you did an amazing job on the implementation.
It's so easy to use, literally takes 1 minutes to export data from my D365 instance and run it within a dataset project.
Here's a quick tutorial for the rest of the community:

Well done, real happy with this latest update!
The only enhancement i would add to this is potentially have XLSX as an import format as well as CSV, as it's an extra step removed not having to convert to CSV after exporting to D365. But that's just being picky, it only takes a couple of clicks in excel.
