This fails unreliably on different machines (build agents) every once in a while.

Hi @timokopf,

Would you like to share the full analysis logs so that we can understand better the issue?

Best regards,
Fan

Also @timokopf, could you provide a bit more info about your setup:

  • are you using self-hosted build agents?
  • are you do you have multiple agents installed on the same physical box?

@Fan_Yang ,
what do you mean by “full analysis log”? Do you mean the build log?

@duncanp,
we use self-hosted agents. No, every agent is a separate machine.

Hi @timokopf,

The full build log will be fine.

BR,
Fan

Hello @Fan_Yang

buildlog_part1.txt (3.3 MB)
buildlog_part2.txt (3.5 MB)

I have attached the full build log separated into two files because of the file size limit.

Best Regards,
Timo

Hi @timokopf ,

I would like to ask for full sonarqube analysis logs as well.

@timokopf the errors in the logs relate to processing Razor files. However, there isn’t enough information in the logs to be more specific than that.

Could you supply verbose logs for the MSBuild step please? (pass /v:diag as an additional argument to MSBuild). Thanks.
