PAC CLI Now Queues Solution Imports Instead of Failing

I recently noticed a quiet improvement to the Power Platform CLI that makes a real difference to deployment workflows.

The Old Behaviour

Previously, when you tried to import a solution while another import was already in progress, you’d get a generic error telling you to check solution history. This was frustrating during batch deployments or when multiple team members were deploying simultaneously.

The New Behaviour

Now the CLI queues up the system jobs with a “Waiting for event” status and processes each solution sequentially as each one completes. No more failed imports, no more manual retries.

Why This Matters

These small, unannounced improvements add up. Fewer failed deployments means less time troubleshooting and more time building. If you’re running CI/CD pipelines or batch importing solutions, this change removes a common point of failure.
