发布管理服务器手动成功，但自动失败

Question

I'm trying to configure release management server to deploy to out test server when a specific build configuration on TFS succeeds. Now I have a build definition which runs fine, I use the build process template 'ReleaseTfvcTemplate.12.xaml'.

The 'Release Template' in Release Management Server (RMS) is set to trigger on build.

Now when I set the 'Release Build' property in the Release category to 'False', the build runs fine. Then when I go the Release Management Client and create a release, everything goes fine and my project (a WebAPI) is succesfully published to our testserver.

As soon as I set the 'Release build' property to true (in the build definition) and queue a new build, the build fails.

I receive the following error :

Exception Message: The directory name is invalid (type Win32Exception) Exception Stack Trace: Server stack trace: at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities.InvokeProcess.ProcessWrapper.Start() at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities.InvokeProcess.InvokeProcessInternal.RunCommand(AsyncState state) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink._PrivateProcessMessage(IntPtr md, Object[] args, Object server, Object[]& outArgs) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink.AsyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg, IMessageSink replySink)

Exception rethrown at [0]: at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.EndInvokeHelper(Message reqMsg, Boolean bProxyCase) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RemotingProxy.Invoke(Object NotUsed, MessageData& msgData) at System.Func 2.EndInvoke(IAsyncResult result) at System.Activities.AsyncCodeActivity 1.System.Activities.IAsyncCodeActivity.FinishExecution(AsyncCodeActivityContext context, IAsyncResult result) at System.Activities.AsyncCodeActivity.CompleteAsyncCodeActivityData.CompleteAsyncCodeActivityWorkItem.Execute(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)

The build template includes a xcopy step which may cause the "The directory name is invalid", but I don't understand why the process works manually, but not automated.

Any suggestions in the right direction are very welcome!

确保在构建代理计算机上安装了RM Client。

Sometimes the release template can 'lose' its connection in to the build definition. To check this open the release template and use the Properties link to re-establish the connection to the build definition. In case it helps I have a soup to nuts blog post series on configuring all this - index page here .
