Not able to Build project using MSBuild

Kushal Raj November 7, 2013

Hi ,

When i try to build my project using MSBuild in Bamboo, the .dll file is not recognised and hence i get error saying that some variables are not defined.

But when i build my project separately using MSBuild in "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt" ,Build is successfull.

Please help .

Thanks in advance :)

In case you didn't see my other post on the subject, do not expect msbuild to work the same as the IDE. The IDE does a lot of things for you that MSBuild does not. The IDE acts more like your mother and "fixes" things so everything is "nice" for you while the MSBuild executable does not. Sometimes you have to be more explicit with MSBuild. All those properties you set in the IDE by hand are not necessarily in the .csproj or .sln files by default.

Check your .csproj file and make sure that dll's are not excluded or alternately that the desired dll's are included in your build profile. We used to see this a lot with newly added image files and other things that the developers failed to include in their .csproj files. If you have them configured to pull from the local filesystem instead of from the repository file system they will fail on the bamboo build. We had a folder specified for "shared binaries" that contained all the binary files that were created by other projects for inclusion in the build.
