Workflow won't compile

I'm getting the following error when trying to execute my custom build definition (containing only 1 custom CodeActivity):

Exception Message: Expression Activity type 'CSharpReference`1' requires compilation in order to run.  Please ensure that the workflow has been compiled. (type NotSupportedException)

I've tried multiple suggested answers to this error, but none of them are applicable to my activity. My CodeActivity only has a couple of methods that search through directories for specific files, and then returns a delimited string containing the file names.

I don't use any WorkflowInvoker or any DynamicActivities. For what reason would I keep getting this error?

Thanks

Solution

  • I decided not to work in a clean xaml file, but instead to use the Default Template provided by TFS. The Default template ran my activities without errors.
