MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified in teamcity

I am trying to run MSBuild with TeamCity.

I have a batch file and I pass into it parameters and the build works. When I try to run through TeamCity I get the error below

[13:24:46][MSBuild output] Start MSBuild...

In TeamCity my command line parameters field looks like Configuration=Debug;DeployPath=E:\websites\umbraco\mysite;Environment=Dev;

I did search on StackOverflow and people having similar issues mention ensuring no spaces in commandline parameters also my sln and proj files / pages do not have spaces.

As I said when I run a batch file with those parameters it all works, however, TeamCity fails.

Solution

  • I managed to reproduce the error in the command line: apparently the file contents for Default.msbuild.teamcity.msbuild.tcargs need to be:

    /p:Configuration=Debug;DeployPath=E:\websites\umbraco\mysite;Environment=Dev;

    instead of:

    Configuration=Debug;DeployPath=E:\websites\umbraco\mysite;Environment=Dev;
