Team Foundation Server 2018 API Build Definition Error

I am trying to create a new build definition through REST API using Powershell 5.1.

My script consist of some files. In my script I have this:

File 1:

 $newDefinitionUrl = "http://tfs:8080/tfs/collection/project/_apis/build/definitions?api-version={2}" -f $CollectionUrl,$TeamProjectName,$BuildApiVersion
        $method = "POST"
        $headers = @{"Content-Type"="application/json"} 
        $body=ConvertTo-Json $template -Depth 20 -Compress  

    #[ERROR 1 - line 80] 
    Invoke-RestMethod -Credential $credentials -Uri $newDefinitionUrl -Method $method -Headers $headers -Body ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($body))

File 2:

$templateName = "$bdType $systemTecnology"
$buildDefinitionName = Get-GloboBuildDefinitionName -System $System -BranchName $BranchName -Type $Type

 #[Error 2 - Line 115]
$newDef = New-BuildDefinition -CollectionUrl $Tfs.Uri.AbsoluteUri -TeamProjectName $TeamProjectName -TemplateName $templateName  -BuildDefinitionName $buildDefinitionName -TemplateTeamProjectName $TeamProjectBuildTemplate -OverwriteParameters $parameters

File 3:

Write-Output "`t-> Criando branch para o $workitemTitle no SourceControl apartir do Release..." -OutVariable +MSGS
        New-TFVCBrach -Tfs $Tfs -SourcePath "$/$TeamProjectName/$System/$branchOrigin" -DestinationPath "$/$TeamProjectName/$System/$branchFolder/$workitemTitle" -ErrorVariable +MSGS | Out-String | Write-Verbose

        Write-Output "`t-> Concedendo permissão ao time ""[$TeamProjectName]\$System"" no branch..." -OutVariable +MSGS
        Get-Content $GloboTFSSetupTemplateFolderPath"\PermissionsFolders.txt" | Set-BranchPermisisons -CollectionUrl $CollectionUrl -TeamProjectName $TeamProjectName -System $System -BranchRelativePath "$branchFolder/$workitemTitle" -Group "[$TeamProjectName]\$System" -ErrorVariable +MSGS | Out-String | Write-Verbose

        Write-Output "`t-> Criando build definition de ""$buildType"" para o ""$WorkItemType""..." -OutVariable +MSGS

#[Error 3 - Line 99]            
New-GloboBuildDefinition -Tfs $Tfs -TeamProjectName $TeamProjectName -System $System -Type $buildType -BranchName $workitemTitle -ErrorVariable +MSGS | Out-String | Write-Verbose

When I try to run the script I get 3 errors which I have marked with #[Error 1/2/3 - Line x] for easy identification here.

This are the errors:

In my TFS 2015 this scripts worked. But now in TFS 2018 I am getting this errors.

Can anyone help me with this?

In addition I also get some more errors:

EDIT1: I've been trying to figure this out and I've found this: TFS2015 REST API Build definition update

However I don't know how to fix my errors. I've tried changing my code -Depth but still I am getting errors. Please Help.

I have never had to do the Text encoding to get this to work. I usually just pass the json to the Invoke-RestMethod request. I tried editing one of my known good functions to add the encoding and it seems to give similar errors. I'd try adjusting your code to this:

$newDefinitionUrl = "http://tfs:8080/tfs/collection/project/_apis/build/definitions?api-version={2}" -f $CollectionUrl,$TeamProjectName,$BuildApiVersion
    $method = "POST"
    $headers = @{"Content-Type"="application/json"} 
    $body=ConvertTo-Json $template -Depth 20 -Compress  

#[ERROR 1 - line 80] 
Invoke-RestMethod -Credential $credentials -Uri $newDefinitionUrl -Method $method -Headers $headers -Body $body
