I am having an issue with TFS. When we had TFS2008, the build machine was able to clear files from the Build Agent Folders before creating a new build. However, after the migration to TFS2010, the build machine cannot clear this folder and we are getting builds with old files that have been deleted from source control.
Is there any way to get this functionality back? We are currently working with the TFS2008 build scripts and the UpgradeTemplate.xaml in TFS2010.
Thanks
The only other post I found didn’t have an answer. So instead, I reverted back to running a RMDIR command at the BeforeEndToEndIteration level of the build script.
<Target Name="BeforeEndToEndIteration">
<Exec WorkingDirectory="S:\src" Command="RMDIR /s /q "S:\src\Sandbox_awdbu\""/>
</Target>
This command will delete the build agent folder before the Get Latest command is performed by the build service.
It’s not a great solution but it works. This solution will work but I would suggest moving onto the template instead of keeping the old TFS2008 build scripts.
