I have a TeamCity. I have setup build for my web project (csproj) with msbuild,
command line parameter is looks like
/p:Configuration=%env.Configuration% /p:outputpath=bin2
/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:IsDesktopBuild=false
/p:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish
/p:MsDeployServiceUrl=httppath
/p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True /p:MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC
/p:UserName=xxx /p:Password=xxx
but build faild all the time with error:
Step 1/1: MSBuild (7s)

make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration
and Platform for this project. Configuration='TestEnv' Platform='Any
CPU'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build
a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default
Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project.
I am using xml transformation and I have make shure that TestEnv is exist in all project inside solution.
What it could be ? and how to fix it ?
Thanks.
have you added a configuration testenv to all your projects? as its missing the OutputPath property.Alternatively you could just add the property to your initial command e.g. /p:OutputPath=..\output .

I created an Azure Devops build pipeline and I am trying to build my ASP.NET MVC and Angular hybrid site project on Bitbucket (git).
The project first gets checked out, and Nuget restores the necessary packages, however, I cannot get the .NET to build!
I've stumbled on this post here that basically advises against using the dotnet build task and recommended just using Visual Studio build or MSBuild tasks instead.
Nether are working for me though!
I tried VS2017-win2016 hosted agent, didn't work.
I tried Windows 2019 hosted agent, didn't work.
I am getting this error:

Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.100\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Since Ubuntu is faster, I also tried that, however, as expected Visual Studio build task fails with that since VS is not installed on the machine.
So I tried with MSBuild and that worked fine with Ubuntu, however, still getting same error that the project file was not found.

I pretty much exhausted my searches and not sure how to solve this.
Here are some screenshots that show my pipeline tasks:
I also thought maybe x64 architecture would have something to do with it, but that didn't resolve the issue.
I've stumbled on some other interesting posts like this one, but I'm not sure what adding the project to source control means in the answer given, considering my csproj files are already hosted in the repo and being checked out before any tasks run.
My project structure and .sln path (project):
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio Version 16
VisualStudioVersion = 16.0.29806.167
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "Bobby.ProjectA", "Bobby.ProjectA\Bobby.ProjectA.csproj", "{12345FE4-4CB9-3245-9A45-DB9A4AF1DFEB}"
Based on my test, I could reproduce the similar issue when the wrong csproj file path is mapped in the .sln file.
You could check your .sln file -> project field.
For example:
File structure
The .csproj file is under the WebApplication2 folder, so the project relative path is WebApplication2\WebApplication2.csproj.
.sln file
VisualStudioVersion = 16.0.30611.23
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "WebApplication2", "WebApplication2\WebApplication2.csproj", "{497AD76F-222C-4BEB-BDCB-401B0E80B5CE}"
EndProject
Update:
After discussion with Cataster, the import Project issue can be resolved by specifying **/*.csproj in Msbuild task.
For example:
I have some cloud service projects , which i am trying to get it into CI/CD. When i right click on the project from Visual Studio and click Package it does what i want. I can see the ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and ServiceDefinition.csdef in the bin\Release folder after the package command is completed.
How can i achieve the same from an MSBuild command line ? I have tried
msbuild.exe
/p:DeployTarget=Package
/p:DeployOnBuild=true
/p:AutomatedBuild=True
/p:configuration=release
/p:outdir="D:\Pub"
/p:targetprofile="Cloud"
/target:Publish
/p:SolutionDir=$/src/mysln/ WorkerRole.ccproj
What i get is the command completes and i can see around 241 dll and the required files in the folder. Am i missing something in the command argument ? Please advice
Edit : Also refered the official docs , could'nt find anything
Edit 2 : Looks like i can get the packages generated. Now the problem is doing this in VSTS. The build is failing with " projectfile="*Undefined*Obfuscator\Maps\
Basically the solution path is becoming as undefined
Edit 3 : Here's the error message when i try to build only the CloudServiceProj
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(5165,5): Error MSB3073: The command "if "Release" == "Debug" goto :exit
"*Undefined*Obfuscator\Tool\CO" projectfile="*Undefined*Obfuscator\Maps
The undefined is working fine locally , since it has the $(SolutionDir) variable in VS. Not sure how do i handle it here
Update
Here's the msbuild that am using
Update 4
I tried building the solution directly as suggested, but it has some .NET CORE as well as .NET Framework projects and i am getting this error
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.105\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish\build\netstandard1.0\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish.targets(163,11): Error MSB4006: There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "Publish"..
What i get is the command completes and i can see around 241 dll and the required files in the folder. Am i missing something in the command argument ?
For this question, you can try to change the argument /p:outdir="D:\Pub" to /p:PublishDir="D:\Pub". That because the argument outdir is used to stored the output files not the publish files, it contains the build output of the projects (including the reference project). That the reason why there are around 241 dll and the required files in the folder.
As I test, if I change the argument to PublishDir, it works fine:
For the second question, I am not familiar with Azure Cloud Service, as I know about MSBuild/Visual Studio, we should build the "main" project instead of the reference project, so you can try to build the AzureCloudService.ccproj or build the solution file .sln.
Besides, when we build the project/solution, we do not need specify the solution folder, just specify the project file or solution directly:
msbuild.exe "TheRelativePathForYourSolutionInRepos.sln" /t:Publish /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:AutomatedBuild=True /p:configuration=release /p:TargetProfile=Cloud /p:PublishDir="D:\Pub"
If above not resolve your questions, please share your build error log in your question.
Update:
For the second part, I have a post build event which does some
obfuscation .
If you have use any Macros, like $(SolutionDir) in your build event, but build the project file, you will got that error. Because the project reference information exists in the solution information, we can't access it when we only build one project.
Try to replace all $(SolutionDir) with $(ProjectDir)..\
Update2:
Since you can build the .sln file on your local without any issue, you could also build the .sln file with Azure pipeline. As test, I could build the .sln file in the Azure pipeline:
Besides, if you have replace $(SolutionDir) with $(ProjectDir)..\, how do you still get the error Undefined? Try to double check you build event, or you can share it in the question.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to build a deploy package from a Publish Profile using msbuild. I use the command from https://stackoverflow.com/a/15079260/492336:
msbuild.exe MyProject.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=true;PublishProfile=MyProfile
But I am getting this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(3683,5): error MSB4044: The "CheckPathAttributes" task was not given a value for the required parameter "Path". [c:\Workspace\MyProject\MyProject.csproj]
How should I go about fixing it?
The reason seems to be related to this line inside my *.pubxml file:
<DesktopBuildPackageLocation>$(SolutionDir)/WebSite1.zip</DesktopBuildPackageLocation>
It works from VisualStudio because $(SolutionDir) is defined there, but it obviously is not defined when I execute msbuild from the command line (maybe it would be defined if I used the solution instead of the csproj file).
Edit: Changing it to $(ProjectDir)/WebSite1.zip works as well.
i am using teamCity to build my .jsproj file, and at the end i getting this error.
[_CreateMainPackage] SignAppxPackage
[SignAppxPackage] C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild \Microsoft\VisualStudio \v12.0\AppxPackage\Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets(1970, 9):

[Step 7/7] Step build (1) (MSBuild) failed
below is the my configuration in teamCity
It is working if i run it by cmd, can everyone help me to solve this?
You can disable code signing by adding: /p:AppxPackageSigningEnabled=false into the command line parameters section.
It is an MSBuild parameter, which will allow you to produce an unsigned package (assuming you don't require one). Note that you will not be able to publish such a package.
I am trying to Publish a .sqlproj from command line with MSBuild with the command:
msbuild /t:Publish [MySqlProjPath] but i get the following error:
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
What i find weird is that from Visual Studio 2012 i can Publish the same project successfully. Does Visual Studio set any magical msbuild property before publishing to get the .targets file from another directory?
You should pass the following argument to MSBuild:
/p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 /t:Rebuild;Publish
This tells msbuild to use VS2012 targets.
Passing VisualStudioVersion is required hence VS2010 and Vs2012 can share the same project file: i.e. project file does not store target VS version inside itself
