[BUG]: MSBuild task fails after msbuild.exe exits with exit code '' (empty string) #19781

Open andersforsgren opened 5 months ago

andersforsgren commented 5 months ago

New issue checklist

Task name

MsBuild

Task version

1.231.5

Issue Description

After a successful compilation (the output assembly is produced OK and no errors or warnings are logged), the task fails and outputs the message

[error]Process 'msbuild.exe' exited with code ''.

This happens intermittently and is hard to diagnose as there is no error output. It does not reproduce on a different machine or with a simple repro. What can I do to find this? In what situation would a process not set the exit code? I have looked through the windows event log to see any messages from msbuild.exe but that shows nothing.

Task configuration:

   - task: MSBuild@1
     displayName: 'Compile ProjectName'
     inputs:
       solution: '$(Build.Repository.LocalPath)/Source/ProjectName/ProjectName.csproj'
       platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
       configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'
       msbuildArguments: '/v:m /t:Restore;Build'

This happens still, 

Current agent version: '3.239.1'
...
##[error]Process 'msbuild.exe' exited with code ''.

Assuming this happens in azure-pipelines-tasks-lib (ToolFunctions.ps1):

Tasks/MSBuildV1/msbuild.ts

        Write-Verbose "Exit code: $LASTEXITCODE"
        if ($RequireExitCodeZero -and $LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
            Write-Error (Get-LocString -Key PSLIB_Process0ExitedWithCode1 -ArgumentList ([System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($FileName)), $LASTEXITCODE)
        }

Is $LASTEXITCODE being unset really properly handled here?

When the process fails, the last project compiled looks like this with diagnostics on:

Could this be something that only happens on self-hosted agents?

I'm using self-hosted agents, and it looks to me that OP is too.

chrisfcarroll commented 1 week ago

@DenisRumyantsev , @v-schhabra : my apologies for @-ing you but it looks like this has been triaged into Azure:Artifacts by a bot, where it is receiving no attention perhaps because it is not related to artifacts ?

v-schhabra commented 1 week ago

Hi @chrisfcarroll Msbuild task is owned by ABTT team. I just tagged them here. I hope they will get notify now about this issue. image
