When I build my solution with 10 Projects I get Build failures for 7 projects. All 10 Projects have post-build events. Even those who build use an xcopy command. I say this because my colleague was the opinion VS 2012 and xcopy is not that good...
These 7 build failures did not happen before.
The following error happens when I try to build the project or "from time to time" when I start my Visual Studio.
I get this error:
Error 1 The command "xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\Client" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\Client\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\Content" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\Content\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\Views" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\Views\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\web.config" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\"
xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\global.asax" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\"
xcopy /y "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web\Tools" "D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest\build\web\bin\..\..\Tools\" /s /e /v
" exited with code 9009. Swan.Replaced.Mobile.Web
I have googled a lot on SO and the main cause for this problem seem to be:
1.) A whitespace in the path/folder name
2.) The command does not get full paths
3.) Maybe some environment/system variables problem?
I can not see this error in my post-build event:
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)Client" "$(TargetDir)..\Client\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)Content" "$(TargetDir)..\Content\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)Views" "$(TargetDir)..\Views\" /s /e /v
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)web.config" "$(TargetDir)..\"
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)global.asax" "$(TargetDir)..\"
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)Tools" "$(TargetDir)..\..\Tools\" /s /e /v
My TargetDir is this outputpath:
..\build\web\bin\
My ProjectDir is this:
D:\Replaced\branches\ReplacedTest
comment: When I use xcopy on the console window thats totally fine.
These are my specs:
What I have tried to fix the issue:
Nothing helped :/
Anyone can help please to spot the error? Thanks!
xcopy is usually located in C:\Windows\system32
so in order for VS to see xcopy this path should be in your PATH environment variable. You can check this by running:
echo %path%
in command line and you should see path to xcopy alongside other folders...
