DevOps pipeline: Build project with multiple PCF components

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

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?
