workspace mismatch in nightly build

Question

Hi
Using tfs 2008 sp1 I have a strange issue:
I have two buildjobs, that share some code in two workspaces. The common code include a versionnumber that needs to be incrementet.
The buildjobs are trigged to start at a specific time. The first build completes without errors, but the second fails saying it can't update the files because the server holds a newer version.
If I start the job manually in the same order, it won't fail....

In both buildjobs I have:
In BuildNumberOverrideTarget:

<Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SJcommonPath)\include" Command="%22$(TeamBuildRefPath)\..\tf.exe%22 get version.txt /force /overwrite" />
returns this in the log file:
 Replacing version.txt

And in AfterGet:
<Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SJcommonPath)\include" Command="%22$(TeamBuildRefPath)\..\tf.exe%22 checkout version.txt" />
returns this in the log file:

  version.txt
 
$/.../Include/version.txt:
   newer version exists in source control

What am I doing wrong?

Regards
Kim

Hi Kim,

Sorry that I did not understand you well.

What is the function of "version.txt"? just store the version num? why not use a custom task to get/create the version num?

Could you post the 2 TFSBuild.proj ?

Best Regards,
Ruiz

Hi

Thanks.
I've solved the problem by putting an ekstra get into afterget target.
