TFS SourcesDirectory is null/empty when used in Expression Editor


I have a build definition which has two working folders specified. One of these has the following columns:

I am trying to access this Build Agent Folder from within the Expression editor in TFS 2012?

I've tried SourcesDirectory but when it gets evaluated it is null/empty. Is there something specific I need to do to get SourcesDiretory to work in the expression editor? Or is there a better way to reference this specific build agent folder in it's entirety?


Solution

  • The SourcesDirectory and indeed the BinariesDirectory are not set till later in the build. They are not immediately available at the start of the build.
