I am trying to build a Visual Studio Package project via Hudson CI. This is a Visual Studio 2010 project. The project builds fine in my dev box, but for some reason, I keep getting the following error only when building in Hudson:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(378,5): error : Error trying to read the VSIX manifest file “obj\Release\extension.vsixmanifest”. The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) [C:\hudson\workspace\MyProject_Daily_Compilation\Source\MyProject.VisualStudio\MyProject.VisualStudio.csproj]
I have verified that the file exists on disk in the following location:
C:\Hudson\workspace\MyProject_Daily_Compilation\Source\MyProject.VisualStudio\obj\Release\extension.vsixmanifest
What could be causing this issue?
I am guessing you running hudson as a service. If so the “0x80070002 – The system cannot find specified file” could well be due to the user being used to run hudson does not have access.
The quick solution to this is change the “Log on” user for the Hudson service to be your normal account.
