I have this weird issue with a pipeline template that I am currently trying to make work for different Angular/.NET builds:

The Pipeline references 3 stages: Prework, Angular and Backend.

In the Prework stage the GitVersion is fetched:

          - task: gitversion/setup@0
            displayName: "Install GitVersion v${{parameters.gitVersion}}"
            inputs:
              versionSpec: "${{parameters.gitVersion}}"

          - task: gitversion/execute@0
            displayName: Determine Version
            name: CreateVersions
            inputs:
              targetPath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)'
              useConfigFile: true
              configFilePath: ${{parameters.gitVersionFilePath}}
            
          - powershell: |
              Write-host "Version to build: $(GitVersion.SemVer)"
              Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=version;isOutput=true]$(GitVersion.SemVer)"
            displayName: "Setup version"
            name: Versions

That works on every repository.

However the next stage the gitVersion is resolved correctly to a version number in all repositories but one.
In the one case where it doesn’t work I get this during ng build in the angular stage:

npm ERR! Invalid version: "$[stageDependencies.Prework.General.outputs[CreateVersions.GitVersion.SemVer]]"
Every occurence of the version number looks like above and it is generally not resolved in the next stage.

I use exactly the same pipeline template and main template and really don’t know where to start looking.

I checked for shallow fetch to be disabled, played around with with the Syntax, checked for Pipeline Settings being different.
