Created Issue: Using with TFS Team Build - Problem with CreateCabDDF.vbs

rfennell — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:52:14 GMT

If you build this WSP project locally on a development PC all is fine. However (depending upon you project) it may fail on Team Build, well actually not fail just pause forever. This due to the way that Team Build checks out folders. The WSP project has a folder structure you drop files in that the VBScript files scan to create the manifest and then the WSP. If one of these directories is empty then it is not created on the build box and the VBScript stalls.

The solution is simply just add an extra folder exists check in the CreateCabDDF.vbs file’s EnumFolder method

sub EnumFolder(sFolder, sRelativePath)
dim oFolder, oFolders, oSub, oFile

rem this is the extra line
If oFS.FolderExists(sFolder) Then

set oFolder = oFS.GetFolder(sFolder)

if (sRelativePath = "TEMPLATE") then sRelativePath = ""
if (sRelativePath = "FEATURES") then sRelativePath = ""

if (sRelativePath <> "") then sRelativePath = sRelativePath + "\"

for each oFile in oFolder.Files
oDDF.WriteLine """" + oFile.Path + """" + vbTab + """" + sRelativePath + oFile.Name + """"
next

if (sRelativePath <> "" and InStr(1, sFolder, "FEATURES") > 0) then
sRelativePath = "FEATURES\" + sRelativePath
end if

for each oSub in oFolder.SubFolders
EnumFolder oSub.Path, sRelativePath + oSub.Name
next

end if

end sub

Created Issue: Using with TFS Team Build - problem with macro expansion

rfennell — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:50:51 GMT

You have to be careful in the pre/post build build events if you are trying to build this template on a TFS Team Build box due to differences in Macro expansion. It might be worth adding some guidance to the project on this matter

I ended up with pre build script in the form (for mre detail see http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/rfennell/archive/2008/12/19/tfs-teambuild-and-sharepoint-wsp-deployment-and-any-post-build-events-for-that-matter.aspx)

echo PREBUILD STARTED

rem Check if we running in VS or Teambuild
if not exist "..\..\..\CLIENTLIBRARY\SharedLibProject\bin\$(ConfigurationName)\SharedLibProject.dll" goto tfsbuild

echo Copy from VS locations, in this sample we assume a shared library, a webpart and some javascript

Created Issue: Error: Cannot find this file specified in the manifest file

fdobon — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:41:37 GMT

Hi,

I have this error when adding the solution to my server ("%STSADM% -o addsolution -filename %PackageFile%")

What is special in my project? A subfolder in the directory "Template/Features/MyFeature". This is my tree files :

"Template/Features/MyFeature/feature.xml"
"Template/Features/MyFeature/Columns/MyColumns.xml"
"Template/Features/MyFeature/ContentTypes/MyContentTypes.xml"

The error message is "Error: Cannot find this file specified in the manifest file : Template/Features/MyFeature/Columns/MyColumns.xml"
MySolution.wsp: The Solution installation failed.

Anyone can help me?

CREATED ISSUE: copy of dlls

I suggest that the following code are added in post-built event before manifest and dff are build.

copy "$(ProjectDir)\bin\debug\$(ProjectName).dll" "$(ProjectDir)\DLLS\GAC\$(ProjectName).dll" /y

CREATED ISSUE: Source control items

frien — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:51:18 GMT

I suggest that source save items are excluded in the CreateCabDDF and CreateManifest files.

That is all .scc files and what the files are called in TFS
