Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate : The file is not checked out. You must first check out this document..

MVP

I'm trying to get a template using the latest PnP PowerShell release with Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate.

 

I'm getting the following error:

 

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate : The file is not checked out. You must first check out this document before making changes.
At C:\PVSource\ZephyrDemoIntranet\updateAll.ps1:12 char:1
+ Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out C:\PVSource\templ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (:) [Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate], ServerException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : EXCEPTION,SharePointPnP.PowerShell.Commands.Provisioning.GetProvisioningTemplate

 

After I enabled debug I can see that the problem is something to do with the page contents of the page that I'm trying to export.

 

So even though it doesn't make any sense, I checked out my welcome page and now the Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate works as expected. 

 

I haven't exported a publishing site for a while. Has anyone else seen the same issue?
