TeamCity compile fails while local compile works

I'm not exactly a master of TeamCity (yet!) so please accept my apologies if this question is poorly formulated.

In my local IDE I can rebuild the solution. In TeamCity, I can do that too. Then, I add a new project, which has a reference to an external DLL (Oracle.DataAccess). While the local version builds without problems, I now get an error when running the build from TeamCity.

It claims that the problem is as follows.

error CS0012:
The type 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.
You must add a reference to assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess,
Version=2.112.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342'.

  1. Why does it complain about it when the local rebuild works?
  2. What can be done about it?

I've checked that I'm targeting the correct repository to avoid this mistake. The only thing that changes is that I'm adding the project to the solution. I also noticed that removing the reference from the project fails the local build with the same message as the TC's. However, readding the reference to it (followed by a check-in) doesn't reciprocate the success of rebuild...

Suggestions?!

Solution

  • Make sure that reference to Oracle.DataAccess has attribute CopyLocal = true.

    Also, take a look at the other properties as well. The path might be set to a locally available drive pointing to a file that isn't checked in to the VCS.
