TFS 2013 Template: error in Agent Settings

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hello,

I have tried both TfvxFBTemplate.12.xaml and TfvxFBOnlyTemplate.12.xaml and get the same error in the Agent Settings field (error attached).

Please advise on how to resolve this.

Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave,

The error seems to be that the agent argument type could not be loaded. Out of interest what version of Visual Studio is the script being loaded into? My understanding is that Visual Studio 2013 is required to edit and create TFS 2013 scripts. Also to help in editing/creating TFS scripts I use a separate project which includes the TFS template/script and references all the dll’s which is requires.

By loading the xaml script and then clicking the “imports” tab you will be able to see what references the script requires. I add all these references to the container project so that all the types required can be located. Note that I don’t do this in the project the script is designed to be built as I don’t want the TeamFoundation binaries in that project.

Hi Jason,

I am using VS2013 against TFS2013.

I just tried creating a completely new Build Definition and I am not getting the error. Previously I had just tried changing the Template on an existing Defintion.

In fact, the new Build Definition looks very different. Let me play around with this a bit.

Thanks,
Dave
