MSBuild error using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools

Question

I have a solution set up consisting of multiple BizTalk btproj projects.

I also have the Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools for Visual Studio 2015 2.0 installed .

When I build the solution using Visual Studio 2015, it succeeds. If I do so using MSBuild, I run into the following errors:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\Microsoft\\Azure Integration SDK\\IntegrationCommon.targets(29,5): error MSB4018: The "MapperCompiler" task failed unexpectedly. [C:\\Users\\User01\\Documents\\visual studio 2015\\Projects\\SampleProject\\Transform\\myTransform.btproj]

The MSBuild command I'm running is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin> ./MSBuild.exe $pathToProjectSln /p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0 /target:Build /target:Clean

MapperCompiler is defined in the following file:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\Microsoft\\Azure Integration SDK\\IntegrationCommon.targets

as

<Target Name="GenerateXslt">
    <MapperCompiler MapItems="@(Map)"
                    SchemaItems="@(Schema)"
                    ProjectReferences="@(ReferencePath)"
                    WarningLevel="$(WarningLevel)"
                    RootNamespace="$(RootNamespace)"
                    EnableUnitTesting="false"
                    OutputDir ="$(OutputPath)"
                    >
    </MapperCompiler>
  </Target>

It looks like the SDK DLLs aren't being picked up. These are stored in the GAC but aren't explicitly referenced by the projects within the VS solution. Even if I add them as dependencies within each individual project, I still run into the same errors.

Would appreciate any help with this - thank you!

Answer 1

I have the same error, but I don't understand what is the problem, because with VisualStudio build, instead with command prompt doesn't work.

In my case I uses the "Integration account project", I think that Biztalk Project needs the Biztalk installation.

Answer 2

I got the same issue while building a DevOps Pipeline, using a custom self-hosted build machine. In my case the DLLs where not registered in the GAC. From a VS2015 Developer Command Prompt, I launched GACUTIL for the following 5 file, and now is working without problems with MSBUILD.

Hope this helps
