The same TFS Build Definition is different for different developers


We're moving our projects to visualstudio.com and it works fine.

I've created some build definitions and changed some default settings. I used Visual Studio 2015 to create and edit the build definitions.

My colleagues can not see all the changes I've made when they view the build definitions on their machines in Visual Studio 2015 and vice versa. Some settings are not updated.

What can cause this issue?


Solution

  • The problem started when we migrated from TFS2010 to VSO.

    We're using the legacy xaml build definitions where we eventually found the problem:

    Some setting values were enclosed in sharp brackets [] in the xaml.

    Removing the sharp brackets solved it. I have no idea why.
