Are you connecting to TFS or AzD? If TFS or AzD Server what version?

[DarqueWarrior]

Need a little more details. I just tested version 6.2.1 with TFS 2017, TFS 2018 and AzD. All worked.

I've encountered this as well running over hundreds of build definitions in our Azure DevOps projects. The workaround is simply to wrap the line in a quick check at line 35:

  if ( $obj.PSObject.Properties.name -match 'Variables' ) {
     $this.Variables = $obj.variables
  }

I was running against Azure DevOps.
