TFS Build failing

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I've started to play with using FinalBuilder 7 for my TFS builds and I have followed the article [dead link removed]. But I am having lots of trouble getting it to work. When I queue my build I alwasy get the following error:

FinalBuilder project failed with error code 99. Please see the build log for details.

Exception encountered when running FinalBuilder: Input string was not in a correct format.

at System.Number.ParseDouble(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt)

at VSoftTechnologies.FinalBuilder.FBCmd.FindLatestVersion()

at VSoftTechnologies.FinalBuilder.FBCmd.Execute()

at VSoftTechnologies.FinalBuilder.TFS.Workflow.RunFinalBuilder.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)

I've tried to disable everything in the FinalBuilder project, but I get the same error message. Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks,

 Good. I was pulling my hair, thinking I was doing something wrong.

Hi Magnus

this build has the fix : https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700_639.exe

 I've installed the latest build but I still get the error.

Hi Magnus,

Is it the exact same error? If it is, could you check and make sure that the machine which the build is running on has been correctly updated with that build?

Regards,
Paul.

 I've double checked, and the version of fbcmd.exe is 7.0.0.639. And when I try to run the build I get the exact same error as before. I have not tried to restart the TFS machine yet. I'll try that and see if there's a difference.

 After a restart of the TFS server, the build runs ok. So the problem seems to be solved.

Thanks,

Magnus
