Azure hosted pipelines and DLLs

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TimWhalen 45

Hey guys,

I've setup an Azure Pipeline hosted build process and am running into an issue with an external DLL.  I have the DLL checked into source control in the bin folder and the corresponding reference XML checked into thee AxReference folder.  When the Copy binary dependencies step is run, I see the dll being copied...

but when the Build solution step runs, it errors out saying that it can't find that DLL.

Any idea what I might be missing here?

Thanks!

Tim

    Hello Tim

    Did you check if you created Descriptor folder and file in source control ?

    I found the following posts that discussed build error like your post in this community although error code is “1” but is not “4”.

    This post might be help for your issue.

    Hi Tim Whalen,

    This seems to be a common issue because of that the dlls in your project have a local filename, and the MSbuild can't find them.

    Please try to changed the DLL reference path in your X++ project.

    Have a look at the same thread and focus on Otavio's solution :community.dynamics.com/.../class-library-dlls-aren-t-beeing-found-in-azure-devops-hosted-agent-pipeline-execution

    Hey guys, I found out the issue to my problem late yesterday.  I had everything setup correctly with the dll and the AxReference but my issue was that in the Get sources section of my pipeline, the mapping to my code had a path in the "Local path under $(build.sourcesDirectory)" field.  After removing that path, it worked correctly.

    Thanks for the replies!
