CloudServices21 : Cannot find directory named '.' with Azure tools 1.7

Question

Hi,

I am trying to setup Continious Delivery according to:

http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/continuous-delivery/#step3

When I test my build at the last task of step 3 I get the below error. I cannot find a lot on this especially not with the 1.7 version of tools. I did install the Azure SDK on the build server.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.7\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets (2814): CloudServices21 : Cannot find directory named '.'

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.7\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets (2814): The network name cannot be found.

Answer 1

it seems there is a problem with your setup. It is looking for a target directory which cannot be found. Check if your publish directory is accessible to the account on which you are running the build.

Hi,

If you add <PackageForComputeEmulator>true</PackageForComputeEmulator> in your Could project's default .ccproj and use msbuild to build this .ccproj you should be able to get the csx folder and contents after the build is done. Please try to run:

msbuild Replace_with_pathOftheCcprojFile

Before executing your custom scripts to see whether it works.

The work to create .csx is done by the CsPackForDevFabric target, which is defined in the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets (under C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.6), which is imported by the .ccproj:

<Import Project="$(CloudExtensionsDir)Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets" />

Hope this helps.
