I have Visual Studio 2013 Express version:12.0.21005.1REL with Team Foundation Server 2012 express installed. I need to alter a Build Process xaml file however when I download from source control and open the file this happens: The machine I am using is a 64bit system running a 64 bit windows 7 - but I am very surprised this should happen. How exactly do I go about altering this build process when the design view is not operable and the xml is horridly difficult to read / alter. Are there any resources which can help me? Or is there anyway I can fix this? Rob J Visual Studio is opening the

For some reason my build definition are not working properly if long path mappings. If I were using the path $/Project/Samples it works OK. My build has this in the repository tab: Then the logs show that there is no SLN found, and I confirmed that nothing was downloaded to the agent working folders: For me it's a bug when getting sources, as I can't see a good why it is not getting correctly the files. I already tried to add files in some folders above and it works. Some ideas? Eddie Chen - MSFT "workspace version -1" usually occurs when there is no permission to access to the source control.

The product I work on comprises 3/4 seperate (non-dependant) TFS builds. I would like to create a single TFS build which queues the other 3/4 builds from within the ProcessTemplate AND, critically, pass process parameters to them. This build would wait for them all to complete and return an overall success/failure of the build. So my questions are: Can this be achieved by any existing 'standard' Workflow activities (my manager has had bad experiences with custom workflow activities)? If not, I am able to 'shell out' to powershell. Can I achieve what I want from within Powershell (accessing the

I would like to create a Build Definition inside TFS 2012 Express which will simply copy all files within my project source tree to another folder on my drive. Just to underline - I do not want the build output to go to another directory - I want the source files themselves to. The reason for this is I have IIS pointed at a specific folder, and I want the build to copy the latest asp and aspx files to the IIS hosted folder. I am not sure of the intricacies of doing this, I did find : http://toadcode.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/copy-multiple-files-via-tfs-build.html articles like this but I simply

I can't make it work TFS build. It is nuget restore issue. Nuget is not restoring reference dll files. Here is belwo my build configuration. Please advise me how I can make this works. As per this blog post on Nuget's website you can use the command line you mentioned, but it has to be part of a custom target using a Build.proj file. You need to add a Build.proj and put this as the contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <OutDir Condition=" '$(OutDir)'=='' ">

I’m having a "build partially succeeded" issue with this error “NUnit failed to load e:\Builds\184\CSTax\706USServices_Test\bin\Calc.Tests.dll”, but all of the unit test in this project ran and passed (all green). Build environment 1) Using NUnit 2.6.4 and NUnit Test Adapter 2.0.0 2) TFS 2013 – upgraded from 2012 3) Visual studio 2012 and 2013 have been installed on the server 4) I did install the NUnit Test Adapter, using the Extensions and Updates in 2013 Visual Studio 5) Using build process templates from TFS 2012, even if I switch to the 2013 default build process templates I get the same
