Microsoft-hosted agents "failed to load due to the module X not being present"

Posted on by Anderson Joyle 25

Hi all,

First time trying to create a MS-hosted pipeline. Want to ask few questions and also recap some version control concepts that I thought was something well established. When executing the pipeline, I'm getting the following error:

The assembly 'Dynamics.AX.MODELNAME, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' failed to load due to the module 'Dynamics.AX.MODELNAME.Queries.0.netmodule' not being present. Please perform a full build of the module that produced this dll.

Some tests that I already did:

  • I was getting this same error message while compiling other model. As a test, I added all binary file (from MODEL/BIN folder) to source control and removed that particular model from AxBuild.sln solution. I'm a bit confused since at this point I never needed to add the binary files to source control.
  • I installed the DevOps in one DEV vm and use it as the agent pool. I can see the pipeline is building the models and I can see the Dynamics.AX.MODELNAME.Queries.0.netmodule file after the pipeline is done (with errors).

This is my current pipeline setup:

What am I missing? Is there any setup I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your time reading this.

    Hi Anderson,

    Could you, please, explain a bit your model structure? ModelName in your case is it a custom model or standard model? Did you use build VM before?

    Thanks for your reply, Sergei.

    The error happens when the build routines tries to build CUSTOMMODEL1 that has a dependency to CUSTOMMODEL2.

    CUSTOMMODEL2 compiles just fine.

    Yes, I did use build VM prior.

    Hi Anderson,

    So, if you check the build log, CustomModel2 is compiled before CustomModel1? There were issues with proper build sequence and some models could be compiled before references were compiled. It was fixed in a recent build (10.0.15 or 10.0.16)

    I see.

    Just to make sure we are at the same page, let me use other terms:

    I have CustomModel and CustomModelExtensions.

    CustomModelExtensions depends on CustomModel.

    From the logs, I can see CustomModel is built first, then CustomModelExtensions is build (from which I get the error about CustomModel netmodule file is missing).

    Does this still falls into the problem you mentioned?

    Will adding all CustomModel binary files to version control help?

    Hi Anderson,

    You need to add only source code files and description files to the source control if you are the owner of these models Would you mind sharing the build log?

    I uploaded a version of MsBuild step logs to the article. Hope this will some clarification.

    I had to removed the majority of the information (such as warnings and "copy file from/to lines) and kept only what is related to the two custom models (CustomModel and CustomModelExtensions).

    Hi Anderson,

    Don't you lose the reference in CustomModelExtensions description to CustomModel model in source control?

    Do you have another dev VM where you can pull the code from source control and build it manually?

    There are 2 dev environments and both build just fine.

    Hi Anderson,

    I'm running out of ideas. Maybe you should review what is stored in the source control. Do you have only descriptor, source code (folder with the same name as model name), and bin folder if you use external dlls (no dlls generated by build in dev vm were added)?
