I suspect it's caused by the fact that Name = $env:BUILD_REPOSITORY_PROVIDER returns an empty string. I've had another report where this variable isn't always populated. While that would make sense, I don't understand why the variable would be left empty that would be a bug in the vsts-agent.

Quite likely related to #54.

I've asked Microsoft to look into this, as it looks like an agent thing. It would be very helpful if you could provide a few additional detail:

• [ ] Agent version
• [ ] How was the build triggered? Manual? CI? Gated? Through an API somehow?
• [ ] Do your version control mappings contain variables?
• [ ] Custom agent or Hosted agent
• [ ] Full debug logs of the initialize and get source control steps.

Is there a solution to this? I'm also running into the same issue at my work place.

[jessehouwing]

I haven't found the root cause, it seems to be something wrong with the workspace, but I have never been able to repro it.

If you can or if you can see anything special about your setup, please share.

Right now the only thing I can do is give you a less nasty error message, because if I can't get the workspace, there's precious little else the tasks can do.

I just struggled with this issue. We are running on-premise TFS. What I think caused my problem was I had imported the build definition by copying another projects build definition. On import it had dropped the "Name" value. I could see that in my get sources step it was missing and exporting out the build definition again also confirmed that this value was missing:

    "id": "$/",
    "type": "TfsVersionControl",
    "name": "MyTfsProjectName", <= THIS WAS MISSING ON AN IMPORTED DEFINITION
    "url": "https://MyTfsProjectNameUrl/",
    "defaultBranch": "$/MyTfsProjectNameBranch",
    "rootFolder": "$/MyTfsProjectNameRoot",
    "clean": "true",
    "checkoutSubmodules": false

To resolve I found recreating or cloning a build def and making sure this name parameter existed solved this issue, then I did not get this error and could use this tool again (very cool tool btw).

Maybe this could also be worked around by setting the value in powershell too..

[jessehouwing]

Thanks so much for digging this deep! I'll file a bug with the product team!

[jessehouwing]

From the Product Team:

Thanks for reporting! We will take a look. I can see why we would drop the name on export, but as the definition is imported back in, we should be setting it to the current project name. I have filed a bug for internal tracking.

You could try to set the project name in the json between export and import to workaround. I haven’t verified that yet, but it’s worth a shot.

[MireilleHanna]

what version of TFS on prem are you running?

[MireilleHanna]

I think it is behaving as expected, if a user exports a build definition from ProjectA then imports to ProjectB, we leave the team project unset since ProjectA does not exist and when the build definition is saved, it will be saved to ProjectB. Feel free to reopen the issue if this is not the behavior that you saw.
