I have Jenkins building for me using the MSBUILD plugin. But the solution is on a SUBST drive. I always get

MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist. Switch: X:\example.sln

When Jenkins builds not using the SUBST X drive it works. Or if I manually build from the X: drive it works. Not sure why I cannot get the MSBUILD to work with the SUBST drive. Jenkins has all read/write privileges.

I appreciate y'all taking the time to help me with this. I finally found the solution. It was Jenkins that couldn't see it. I found it at /questions/24733917/jenkins-cant-see-mapped-drive on this website. Thank you again for your assistance.

  • I've done that awhile back to get shorter paths. Try restarting the Jenkins service after creating the drive. Another idea, run SUBST from MSBUILD during the job. – Tom Blodget Sep 09 '16 at 02:00
  • Try narrowing down the problem, e.g. does `dir x:` or `dir x:\example.sln` work from jenkins? – stijn Sep 09 '16 at 09:03
  • @TomBlodget Thank you for the tip. I restarted the service after creating the drive. Still nothing. Unfortunately I can't create the drive during the job because the exe that creates the drive is GUI only, no command arguments. Bit of a pain in the neck. – Vkinng Sep 09 '16 at 20:23
