TFS自动生成系统问题

Question

I am preparing a course for TFS 2015, and I've got almost everything, except the Automated Build part, which is giving me some problems. I'm currently having a huge issue when trying to build an example project. That project has one html file and a few JS ones, just for testing things out.

Then, I prepared an agent on-premises that connects to my Visual Studio Online account, which is properly bound to that TFS instance. My build definition is simple: the default one, with the directory set to my project's directory ($testing).

Everything should run fine, but I'm having the following error. It was with some parts in spanish, but I translated them for your understanding:

What's going on with my build definition? I should have this ready soon, but I don't find any info about these errors... Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

You're actually working with TFS nNext build (adjust from the VSBuild.ps1).

And I can reproduce your above error when I specify the Solution field in the Visual Studio Build step with a folder which has no solution or project to build. So, to resolve it, explicitly specify one .sln or .csproj file. Like:
