Error: Provided files folder path is not valid #5

Issue: I am facing issue with Report Files Path. Error is - ##[error]Provided files folder path.

Overview: I am using VSTS with On-premise build agent and OAuthToken has been set. I have provided Report Files Paths as "*/.rdl " assuming it will pick up all the .rdl files in my $(build.sourcesDirectory) path. There are .rdl files in the subfolder of $(build.sourcesDirectory).However, I am still facing the issue.

Hi,

the documentation is a bit of a mess. It is expected from the task to receive a folder where all of the rdl's are located. Something like $(build.sourcesDirectory)\your\rdl\folder

Can you try that and I'll soon update the documentation?

Cheers

Thank you for the quick response.

Based on your feedback and relooking into the issue, it seems Report Files Paths should be a folder name where the report exists(ex:$(build.sourcesDirectory)\your\rdl\folder).

It is not working if Report Files Paths is provided as below 1) Complete Report file name(ex: $(build.sourcesDirectory)\your\rdl\folder\myreport.rdl) or 2) Wild cards ($(build.sourcesDirectory)\your\rdl\folder*/.rdl or */.rdl) as specified in documentation / VSTS help text message(attached screenshot). So , please fix it/change documentation.

I am able to fix this Report File Path issue by specifying with Report Folder name. I am facing issues with ReportConfiguration.xml.

You can close this ticket. Will raise a new ticket, if I find any issues with ReportConfiguration.xml.

Indeed the docs are misleading. I need to improve on that and somewhere in September, I'll do so.

Also, SSRS task is quite similar to SSIS task. You may read more about it here http://blog.majcica.com/2018/04/25/deploy-ssis-packages-from-tfs-vsts-build-release/

Hopefully, it will answer your questions regarding the configuration
