'TFVC - Check-in changes' not finding changed files

[smoeller-liveid]

Hello, during my build, I update a few files with current version number, and store e.g. WiX file ID's. These files I'd like to check in after build. This means I know exactly the files to check in (full path) But I cannot get the check-in task to work. I always receive the error from the script "System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "GetPendingChanges" with "2" argument(s): "Illegal characters in path." ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path." I think this is because the script does not properly split what I have entered into 'Files to check in' Some example: If I put below into 'Files to check in': $(Build.SourceBranch)/foo/bar.wxi $(Build.SourceBranch)/bar/version.xml The debug log shows: 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z $/source/V1.6/foo/bar.wxi 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z $/source/V1.6/bar/version.xml See the two empty lines? I think this is where the "Illegal characters in path" error comes from. And when I input not in separate lines, but with ";", I still get 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z $/source/V1.6/foo/bar.wxi 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z ; 2017-09-20T08:03:44.4893416Z $/source/V1.6/bar/version.xml So, the separator gets into the list.

What am I doing wrong here?

B.t.w., I also one input just $(Build.SourceBranch)/. but then I see in the log that no files for checkin are found. But if I start the next build, the new log shows that pending changes on exactly my files have been undone, so the files have been checked out. Edit The wildcard version above does work, I just forgot to select the correct "Recursion" mode.

I think I missed something, but what?

Any help appreciated, Sebastian

Have you tried Build.SourcesDirectory instead of Build.SourceBranch?
