TeamCity Plugin: Error Opening File

[Collins]

I've been having this issue with several AIP files when using the TeamCity plugin to build the projects. It doesn't happen with all the AIP's, but it happens pretty consistently. I have had issues with this in CCNET as well and the only way I could get around it is to run the build using a batch file and passing the attrib -r on the AIP files before building and then attrib +r afterwards.

From what I can see, it seems that the AIP has readonly set on it and when it tries to build, it fails, but what I don't understand is why it will work with one, but not for others. The AIP's are checked into TFS and pulled down locally on the Agent server. Here is the excerpt from the TeamCity log:

Hello,

More likely this has to do with the way your TFS build server is configured to handle the project file during check in /check out, etc. operations. Please try to contact your TFS server admin and ask him how to avoid the read only attribute set on the AIP file.

All the best,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel,

I will look into that, but for the time being I have added a command line build step to remove the readonly attribute before AI steps & one after to add it back.

[Daniel]

You're welcome.

I'm glad you have a workaround solution.

All the best,
Daniel
