how to reference a parent folder from azure devops pipe?

I am getting the following error from my build:

'$/CCC/AAA/AAASchemas' cannot be cloaked because it does not have a mapped parent.

##[error]Exit code 100 returned from process: file name 'tf', arguments 'vc workfold /cloak /workspace:ws_26_26 $/CCC/AAA/AAASchemas /collection:https://usap-dev.visualstudio.com/ /loginType:OAuth /login:.,*** /noprompt'.

Here's how I've configured it:

How do I correctly add this folder?

Solution

  • The error message is very clear: You can't cloak that because you're not mapping anything in the hierarchy above it.

    You're mapping $/CCC/AAA/FromHHHMethodist/DEV. The path $/CCC/AAA/AAASchemas isn't in that path. Thus, there's nothing to cloak, because it's not going to get downloaded in the first place. You'd only need to cloak it if you were mapping $/, $/CCC, or $/CCC/AAA.
