TFS构建失败，但0个错误，0个警告

Question

I created a CI build for one of our solutions that builds fine on our local machines, but fails all the time on TFS.

As mentioned:

• Builds fine on local machine - even after clean/rebuild. All other dev machines as well.
• I'm using the default build template. Actually this was a clone from another build that works just fine.
• Logging (even on verbosity 'diagnostic' shows no occurrences of 'error' or 'failed' other than the message about the zipping the logs.

TFS Version is 2013. The build machine was updated to VS2012v4. I'm not sure about TFS Build service version, but I'm having it updated to latest version next week. (Could that be it?)

Any ideas?

Googling resulted in:

• Upgrading VS on build server
• Upgrading TFS build service on build server (will be done monday by ops)

Answer 1

You might have compatibility problems when using TFS 2013 and VS 2012. Microsoft have changed the way build executes. I had similar problem when everything worked well on local machine but failed when I tried to build project with TFS 2013.
