Upgraded to 1.4.4 and now build fails

[Dustin Norman]

I upgraded this morning to 1.4.4 from 1.4.3 and now my builds are
failing with the following error:

MSBUILD : error MSB1021: Cannot create an instance of the logger.
Could not load file or assembly 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\build\
\Local Settings\\Application Data\\assembly\\dl3\\L4LPPRCO.WLA\
\A45BEZVR.NAV\\0f2e8763\\bcf52c7d_28e2c901\
\ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.MsBuild.dll' or one of its dependencies.
The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80131047)
Switch: C:\Documents and Settings\build\Local Settings\Application Data
\assembly\dl3\L4LPPRCO.WLA\A45BEZVR.NAV
\0f2e8763\bcf52c7d_28e2c901\ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.MsBuild.dll;D:
\Builds\Classic\Logs\Ontake\msbuild-results.xml

I have ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.msBuild.dll in my CruiseControl.NET
\server directory but it definitely is not at the path listed in the
error message. What do I have to do to fix this?

Thanks,
Dustin

Can you send us your ccnet.config that is using this? Or at least the
relevant part of the config.

Here are the tasks for the build:

The weird part is that it looks like the last task is actually
executing. Here is the log output:

But it doesn't look like any of the other tasks ran. Very, very
weird.

Hi Dustin,

I think you've found a bug in CC.NET. We do have one thing that you can try
as a work-around. Can you try adding a logger element to the msbuild tasks,
like follows:

<msbuild>
<executable>$(msbuildPath)</executable>
<workingDirectory>$(classicOntakeBuildPath)</workingDirectory>
<projectFile>SetupBuild.proj</projectFile>
<targets>Build</targets>
<buildArgs>/nologo /noconsolelogger /p:SvnPath=&quot;$(svnPath)
&quot;;SvnCertsReposUrl=$(svnCertsOntakeReposUrl)</buildArgs>
<timeout>600</timeout>
<description>Preparing build environment</description>

<logger>C:\Program
Files\CruiseControl.NET\Server\ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.MsBuild.dll</logge
r>
</msbuild>

You'll need to make sure the directory is the directory you installed CC.NET
to.

I'll also raise this as an issue so it gets fixed.

I've temporarily rolled back to 1.4.3 as I've got an important build
coming up. Once it's done I'll give 1.4.4 a try again with your
workaround.

Thanks,
Dustin

I ran into this same problem when upgrading from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4. When
I added the logger node as described above, my build worked just fine.

[Michael Schall]

I also had the issue and it was fixed by adding logger node.

Maybe this needs to be put in the release notes?
