Build on a project fails with "Build failed. VSEnvBat not setup. Check your 'VisualStudioEnvBat' setting" while build spinner keeps spinning

[santagada]

After loading my solution and pressing build on the submenu of a project (or anywhere really, tried multiple build all, build file) opens the Build tab with the message: "Build failed. VSEnvBat not setup. Check your 'VisualStudioEnvBat' setting"

But that config is correct and executing the bat file (in default vs2022 professional install) works. I tried increasing the log level of 10x to get more info but this is all that seems to be produced around the pressing of the build on a single project:

here's the spinning building spinner:

Any way to debug this further? We build using nmake command.

[slynch8]

Does it show Executing command: in your log file? It should show it before EnvVars exit code: 0

23/09/2024 11:58:05: Executing command: cmd.exe /c call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" > nul && "C:/Program Files/PureDevSoftware/10x/10x.exe" -logenv "C:/Temp/10xLogEnvOutput.txt"

the log starts with:

_NO_DEBUG_HEAP=1
__DOTNET_ADD_32BIT=1
__DOTNET_PREFERRED_BITNESS=32
__VSCMD_PREINIT_PATH=<...>

then all our env vars (some are confidential)

[slynch8]

I'm guessing it doesn't like the multi-line WSLENV var. I'll try it here...

[slynch8]

That does seem to be the problem. I'm not even sure how it's possible to set environment variable to be multi-line.

Can you see if this build fixes it: https://www.10xeditor.com/upload/10xVSEnvBatFix.zip

[santagada]

oh YEAH, this fixes it. I was also impressed with it, our team has the gift for these kinds of magic. Thanks for the fix, when this is released I'll delete this build

[slynch8]

fix is in early access build (1.0.219)

[santagada]

tested on 1.0.220 and yeah still working perfectly. We also will fix the multi line env var on our side to not trip other tools.

[slynch8]

fixed (1.0.230)
