Tfs Build Definition Experts

Hi,

Here's my scenario -

I have a common project "My.DataContracts", this project is used by 2 solutions ("Student.Service" and "Emp.Service").

I have added the project to these solutions using add existing project. So i will see this common project in both the solutions.

Now i have created 2 separate build definitions for "Student.Service" and "Emp.Service".

I have created the builds to be triggered when there is any change on either of the solutions.

On build server the source code is dropped on 2 separate folders.

My problem is first build gets success and the second one is failing for the below reason:

CSC: Unexpected error creating debug information file 'f:\WORKINGDIR\DevCIEmplSvc\src\Services\TFS-EmplSvc\MyDataContracts\obj\Dev\MyDataContracts.PDB' -- 'f:\WORKINGDIR\DevCIEmplSvc\src\Services\TFS-EmplSvc\MyDataContracts\obj\Dev\MyDataContracts.PDB: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

 

I tried several things:

1. I tried to give some time and triggered manually the second build, but still the same error.
2. After giving lot of hits, i got it success. But cant use this option always.

Could you please help me in resolving the issue.

the builds will get triggered one after the other....

Are u following any build template? What about excluding debug symols, etc? It's clear that the first build is locking that pdb debug file (which is not really needed for publishing) while the 2nd build is waiting for it.

Found the solution for my qs:

I had to change the configuration setting to Release and it did the magic.
