Hi,

Based on the error message you shared, it looks like VisualGDB is not installed on the machine you are using to build the project.

Please ensure VisualGDB is installed and activated on the user account used to run the automated builds.

Please feel free to look through the following tutorial for a detailed step-by-step example: https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/ci/tfs/

If you can confirm that VisualGDB is installed, please try building the solution using devenv.exe, not msbuild.exe (see this page).

Hi,

I already installed VisaulGDB in the machine where i am trying to build the project. Using visual studio IDE i am able to build the project.

As per your suggestion, i try to build using devenv but i am getting an error: Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Hi

I added the devenv path to system environmental variables. After that the error ” devenv is not recognized as an internal or external command” is not coming.

Now i am getting following error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>devenv C:\Jenkins\workspace\PanaFlow\Test_RS_Detection\AII_Based_FlowMeasurement\Engineering\Source\RsDetectionVgdb\BegaleTestApp.sln /build Release | VisualGDB /project C:\Jenkins\workspace\PanaFlow\Test_RS_Detection\AII_Based_FlowMeasurement\Engineering\Source\RsDetectionVgdb\BegaleTestApp.vcxproj /projectconfig Release | VisualGDB
‘VisualGDB’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 

[support]

Please try using the following syntax:

/projectconfig "Release|VisualGDB"

Note the quotes and no spaces.
