VSTS Team Builds - Project Build Order

VSTS Beta 3...

I have a single sollution with approximately 10 projects - I need certain projects to build in a particular order. Setting up my project dependencies and building the sollution locally works fine...when I look at the Project Build Order in the Solution...it looks something like this:

A

B

C

D

E

and it succeeds on build.

When I build via Team Builds, the build order ends up like this:

B

A

E

D

C

And it fails on build.

How can I correct this

thanks in advance,

dec.

VSTS Team Builds - Project Build Order

  • JacoE

    Im receiving the same problem. I dont understand why it is building out of order with Team Build.

    Here is the content of my .sln file:

    Team Build does the building at the solution level only. Hence, the local and Team Build behavior should match.

    Can you double check that you are building the same platform-configuration combination locally that you are building inside Team Build If yes, then please paste the contents of .sln file for further investigation.

    Thanks,

    Gautam

  • josorio

    Problem fixed.

    A couple of GUID keys where different in our .sln file compared to the individual .csproj files.

    If you encounter out of order behavior check your keys!!

    Open the .csproj and get the GUID keys used and verify them against the .sln file.

    They should all match. If not then, either the value in the .sln or .csproj needs to be modified.

    Thanks,
