'invoke-pnpsitetemplate : object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Question

Hi all,

We are trying to apply pnp-template by following this article. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/applying-pnp-templates

I have downloaded the 'theperspectivepnp' from the site and created a 'Mysite' in my tenant. After that I tried the below command

Connect-PnPOnline https://testonlinesite-admin.sharepoint.com/
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path c:\temp\theperspective.pnp -Parameters @{"SiteUrl"="/sites/Mysite"}

I am getting a below error

'invoke-pnpsitetemplate : object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Please advise on this.

Hi @Abhijit Swami ,

As the document mentioned, you could specify {parameter:ListTitle} in your template will translate to 'Projects' when applying the template. These tokens can be used in most string values in a template.

Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path c:\temp\theperspective.pnp -Parameters @{"SiteTitle"="Mysite";"SiteUrl"="/sites/Mysite"}

Here is the document for reference

HI @RaytheonXie_MSFT

Thank you for response but,

I already have tried using two parameters i,e SiteTitle and SiteUrl, below is the command for the same;

Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path "D:\n\eclass.pnp" -Parameters @{"SiteTitle"";"SiteUrl"="/sites/"}

Still getting same issue: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
