TFS 2015 Publish Build Artifacts with file share met error

I used tfs 2015 with update3. I have created tfs build definitions as below:

enter image description here

Artifact Type was 'file share'.

When the build started, I got the error:

how to fix it?

Solution

  • This is a known issue: Copy Files Task / Publish Build Artifacts Task copy to invalid UNC OR drive root produces RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Issue in GITHub.

    Just like jessehouwing commented you may have to update your build agent(TFS version). Another possibility may related to permission. Please make sure build agent (which was running as a Network Service) have sufficient privileges to create folders on the network share that it was trying to publish artifacts to.
