DevOps pipeline: Build project with multiple PCF components

Posted on by Leif_F

I have a repository with a project that contains a number of PCF components. I have created an azure-pipeline.yml to build everything.

So my .cdsproj file has references to each pcf like this:

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="..\PCF-A.pcfproj" />
    <ProjectReference Include="..\PCF-B.pcfproj" />
  </ItemGroup>

When I try and run msbuild from the command line everything works fine.

However, when I run it from my DevOps pipeline it fails with this error:

##[error]C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3088,7): 
 Error MSB4057: The target "CreateManifestResourceNames" does not exist in the project.

If I change the cdsproj to only reference one pcfproj, then it works fine. Both PCF-A and PCF-B works when listed individually.
So the problem occurs only with multiple referenced pcfprojs.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
