Build automation that uses Microsoft-hosted agents and Azure Pipelines - How to get it working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by steen.rabol 134

Hi


I'm trying to get a new Azure pipeline working - Based on the doc page: docs.microsoft.com/.../hosted-build-automation

It took me a little while to get the Nuget thing working, so if that is an issue for anyone, let me know and I will be happy to share.

on this doc page, there is a reference to a sample, but importing that sample doe not work - the following tasks have errors after import

'Get Sources', 'Update Model version', 'Create Deployable Package','Add licenses to Deployable Package'

Fixing the errors is seems straight forward but the reality is slightly different Slight smile
'Get sources', not and issue

'Update Model version'.... one have to delete the task, and add a new, but what is the correct parameters then?
Looking at the .json file, "$(MetadataPath)" is use, but the new task say $(Build.SourcesDirectory) - which is correct ?
'Create Deployable Package' - again one have to delete the task and create a new, using the parameters form the .json seems ok

'Add licenses to Deployable Package' - again one have to delete the task and create a new, using the parameters form the .json seems ok

Now.... when executing the pipeline I get the following error:

##[error]Projects\FinanceOperations1\FinanceOperations1\FinanceOperations1.rnrproj(46,3):

Error MSB4019: The imported project "D:\a\8\NuGets\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage\DevAlm\Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Tools.BuildTasks.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Any hints ?

Thanks

    Hi Steen,

    Have you checked if you have correct version numbers for NuGet packages in packages.config file?

    Hi Sergei,

    I'm using the latest packages from LCS

    here is my packages.config

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <packages>
    <package id="Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.DevALM.BuildXpp" version="7.0.5778.35626" targetFramework="net40" />
    <package id="Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Application.DevALM.BuildXpp" version="10.0.605.10014" targetFramework="net40" />
    <package id="Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage" version="7.0.5778.35626" targetFramework="net40" />
    </packages>

    Do I miss anything here ?

    the 3 packages is in my 'Artifacts' in the DevOps project

    Here is the complete log for the build step:

    Hi Steen,

    Where did you find these versions? At least for 10.0.14 in PEAP project, there are only next versions

    looks like the Nuget path is incorrect. If you copy value from sample Json file, please make sure you replace "\\" with "\".

    From LCS: on the main page, 'Shared asset Library'->Nuget packages - first 3

    after download:

    Screenshot-2020_2D00_11_2D00_11-at-07.32.54.png

    The project is running v10.0.14, so I assumed that I needed the latest versions

    Not really sure what you mean - sorry.

    in the Build task I have this:

    /p:BuildTasksDirectory="$(NugetsPath)\$(ToolsPackage)\DevAlm" /p:MetadataDirectory="$(MetadataPath)" /p:FrameworkDirectory="$(NuGetsPath)\$(ToolsPackage)" /p:ReferenceFolder="$(NuGetsPath)\$(PlatPackage)\ref\net40;$(NuGetsPath)\$(AppPackage)\ref\net40;$(MetadataPath);$(Build.BinariesDirectory)" /p:ReferencePath="$(NuGetsPath)\$(ToolsPackage)" /p:OutputDirectory="$(Build.BinariesDirectory)"

    There was a \\ in the 'Create deployable package' task, but that task does not 'fail' - does not generate any output as the build task fail so there is nothing to create

    Hi Steen,

    Could you, please, share who your install NuGet step is set up? I now remember that I have a similar issue when I missed the argument "-ExcludeVersion" for NuGet install step.

  • steen.rabol Profile Picture

    Nuget install looks like this:
