Visual Studio not recognizing "BuildStep"
- by AmbiguousX
I'm trying to add an automatic post-build trigger to run NDepend after an automated team build in TFS 2010.
NDepend's website provided code for integrating this capability, and so I have pasted their code into my .csproj file where they said for it to go, but I receive errors on the build.
The errors refer to two of the three "BuildStep" tags I have in the code snippet. The following two snippets are giving me errors:
<BuildStep
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Message="Running NDepend analysis">
<Output TaskParameter="Id" PropertyName="StepId" />
</BuildStep>
and
<BuildStep
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Id="$(StepId)"
Status="Failed" />
However, this code snippet is NOT throwing up any problems:
<BuildStep
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Id="$(StepId)"
Status="Succeeded" />
I just don't understand why one works fine and a nearly identically laid out BuildStep tag does not. Is there something simple that I'm just overlooking?
EDIT: Here is how it looks all together, if this makes a difference:
<Target Name="NDepend" >
<PropertyGroup>
<NDPath>c:\tools\NDepend\NDepend.console.exe</NDPath>
<NDProject>$(SolutionDir)MyProject.ndproj</NDProject>
<NDOut>$(TargetDir)NDepend</NDOut>
<NDIn>$(TargetDir)</NDIn>
</PropertyGroup>
<Exec
Command='"$(NDPath)" "$(NDProject)" /OutDir "$(NDOut)" /InDirs "$(NDIn)"'/>
</Target>
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<BuildStep TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Message="Running NDepend analysis">
<Output TaskParameter="Id" PropertyName="StepId" />
</BuildStep>
<PropertyGroup>
<NDPath>c:\tools\NDepend\NDepend.console.exe</NDPath>
<NDProject>$(SolutionRoot)\Main\src\MyProject.ndproj</NDProject>
<NDOut>$(BinariesRoot)\NDepend</NDOut>
<NDIn>$(BinariesRoot)\Release</NDIn>
</PropertyGroup>
<Exec
Command='$(NDPath) "$(NDProject)" /OutDir "$(NDOut)" /InDirs "$(NDIn)"'/>
<BuildStep
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Id="$(StepId)"
Status="Succeeded" />
<OnError ExecuteTargets="MarkBuildStepAsFailed" />
</Target>
<Target Name="MarkBuildStepAsFailed">
<BuildStep
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Id="$(StepId)"
Status="Failed" />
</Target>
EDIT: Added a bounty because I really need to get this going for my team.
Thank you in advance!
