Exception Message: There is no working folder mapping for

Question

I am trying to test automated builds in tfs/vs.net 2012. I have set the workpaths in the source control explorer but now I am getting an error:

Exception Message: There is no working folder mapping for $/testing/buildtest. (type ItemNotMappedException)

I had the same problem. Turned out I had forgotten to expand the Items to Build section of the Process tab. To fix you need to:

• Edit build definition
• Open Process tab on left

• Open the 1. Required section

  • open up Items to Build
  • ensure the Projects to Build is pointed to the correct .sln
