FB 6.2 / VS2K8 / Team Foundation Build -> Wrong FB File

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Sirs;

On a build machine, I have VS2K8 + TF 6.2 (latest) with TFS2008SP1 and integrated TFS Source Control.   Following the article posted on your site, I create a "New Build Definition with FinalBuilder".  I step through the process and it appears correctly created.  In the TFS Source tree, I see $/Temp/TeamBuildTypes/FB Test 2 containing FB Test 2.fbp6.  This SSC path is mapped to c:\company.com\project\TeamBuildTypes\FB Test 2. 

When I run the build via TFS "Queue Buid" command, all steps except the FB step. The FB Step indicates it's attempting to use the FB project from:

C:\Documents and Settings\tfssetup\Local Settings\Temp\Temp\FB Test 2\BuildType\FB Test 2\

Which it ought not use.

Any suggestions on what I should look at beyond the work space mappings?

Guidance appreciated.

Hi Paul,

Team Foundation Server retrieves your FinalBuilder project (and the rest of the necessary source files) from source control and places them in the ‘$(Temp)$(BuildDefinitionPath)’ directory on the build agent while the build is running, once it completes the files are moved to the drop directory on the server. In the TFSBuild.proj file for your team build definition you should see the ‘FBCmd’ task at the bottom with the ProjectFile set to ‘$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\FB Test 2.fbp6’.

Does the FB Step fail because it cannot find the project file?

Regards,
Paul.
