I am trying to implement CI (Continuous Integration) using TFS for my ASP.NET website (Website Project). I am constantly getting following errors for days. Following is the full log. Its simply not getting latest version to the local directory, that's why its giving error....MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist. I have checked that TFS is not getting latest version, I am not sure why...!!!!

Any help is truly appreciated, Thank You in advance.

According to your log and description, seems TFS get command (Get Source Step)erroneously returns “All files are up to date.” and cause the followed MSBuild step failed.

First try following steps to check if it works by set clean during get source:

  1. Modify your definition : In Repository set Clean to True, Clean option to Sources (try to set Source Directory if that not work)
  2. Also enable Clean option for your build solution task

enter image description here

Another possibility is the root sources folder (D:\UAMCAgent\_work\3\s) is not mapped - i.e. workspace does not contain a root mapping.

And suggest you double check the related build account permission, also give it local admin permission on the build agent.

You could disable the default get source steps in the build definition. And use your own script to do the get source/pull files to see if you get the same situation. How to, please follow: Is it able to ignore/disable the first step Get source in vNext Build?

  • Take a look at this question about how to use own script to get source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48458701/tfs-vnext-build-getsources-task-does-not-get-files-from-folder-with-restricted/48460506#48460506 – PatrickLu-MSFT Feb 28 '18 at 07:26

  • Also, I am not sure how I can attach my build defintion here so you can have a look at it. – Devang Panchalia Feb 28 '18 at 21:36

    If I ran following command on VS command prompt, it does get the latest code... tf vc get /version:2031082 /recursive /overwrite D:\UAMCAgent_work\3\s – Devang Panchalia Feb 28 '18 at 22:17
  • @DevangPanchalia If you directly ran the same command on VS command prompt successfully pull the latest code. Which account you are using on the build agent to run the `tf.exe command`. Try to also use the build service account. You should **double check the permission** of your build service account, make sure it has enough permission to source code and local folder `D:\UAMCAgent_work\3\s`. Also give the build service account local Administrator permission and try again. – PatrickLu-MSFT Mar 01 '18 at 10:52
  • Which account you are using on the build agent to run the tf.exe command....Try to also use the build service account. : How can i find out my account on Build agent..? Or How can i use the build service account..? – Devang Panchalia Mar 05 '18 at 14:56

  • @DevangPanchalia The build service account is the account when you configure your build agent. `/WindowsServiceLogonAccount:WindowsServiceLogonAccount` Usually the default is NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. More details please refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/build-release/actions/agents/v1-windows To give build service account local admin permission, you just need to give NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (if it's the name of the user account to use for the service when you configure build agent)local admin permission. – PatrickLu-MSFT Mar 05 '18 at 15:41
