DNX Build Failed - Unexpected exit code received from msbuild.exe: 1

Question

I cannot see why the below build is failing.

The project builds successfully.

What could "##[error]Unexpected exit code received from msbuild.exe: 1" result from in the below output?

 Executing the powershell script: C:\LR\MMS\Services\Mms\TaskAgentProvisioner\Tools\tasks\VSBuild\1.0.13\VSBuild.ps1

EDIT:

Removing the following arguments from msbuild.exe leads to a successful build:

/t:Build,FileSystemPublish /p:PublishConfiguration=release /p:PublishOutputPathNoTrailingSlash=C:\a\8ac4a4f6\Root\MyProject\artifacts\bin\release\Publish

There is clearly something wrong with my publish arguments.

Do you have a postbuild step that invokes msbuild? Or a reference to a wrapped project? — Victor Hurdugaci

@VictorHurdugaci: I don't believe so. I edited to included the entire build output above. You can now see how msbuild is being executed. — Dave New

Like I mentioned in you other question (stackoverflow.com/questions/31771495/…) try adding a build step that invokes a cmd file rather that using "Visual Studio Build". MsBuild is flaky with dnx projects — Victor Hurdugaci

I found the issue.

The following was throwing the exception:

dnu.cmd publish "C:\a\8ac4a4f6\Root\src\MyProject.Api" --out "C:\a\8ac4a4f6\Root\MyProject\artifacts\bin\release\Publish" --configuration release --runtime dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6 --quiet

I ran it without the --quiet argument and out comes an ArgumentNullException:

I removed the project dependency and it now works. I have no idea what the exception entails. Posted a question regarding that here.

I also faced this issue. I am posting this answer if somebody has a similar issue then try this solution. My visual studio solution has projects targeting different versions of .NET Framework (one project .NET 4.5.1 and the others .NET 4.5.2). It also has a database project with Target Platform set as Sql Server 2016.

I had to make sure all the projects in my solution are targeting .NET 4.5.2 and the database project's Target Platform set as Sql Server 2012. It's because our build server has a different version of Visual studio installed. So check the target frame works for your projects as well as if you have database projects then make sure they're targeting correct version of Sql Server.
