Visual Studio Team Services build step failure about flexbutton

[robinmanuelthiel]

Mh, but locally it works? Can you show me your build steps and the Build Task in Detail? If I had to point to something, I would say NuGet issues...

[IeuanWalker]

@robinmanuelthiel Sure, ill be back in the office monday :)

[IeuanWalker]

@robinmanuelthiel This is the build process in VSTS -

And this is the build step -

[robinmanuelthiel]

Tried to reproduce it but for me it works. Can you please export your build definition shown in the screenshot below, so I can import it into my VSTS account?

[robinmanuelthiel]

A customer of mine had a similar issue. Turned out, that he updated the NuGet package from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0 but his Project.Android.csproj file still referenced the old version.

We changed

<Reference Include="Flex, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\Forms.Controls.FlexButton.0.4.0\lib\monoandroid10\Flex.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Flex.Android, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\Forms.Controls.FlexButton.0.4.0\lib\monoandroid10\Flex.Android.dll</HintPath>
</Reference> 

to

<Reference Include="Flex, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\Forms.Controls.FlexButton.0.5.0\lib\monoandroid10\Flex.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Flex.Android, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\Forms.Controls.FlexButton.0.5.0\lib\monoandroid10\Flex.Android.dll</HintPath>
</Reference> 

and the build worked again. Can you check, if that works for you aswell?

[robinmanuelthiel]

Build looks good. This should be fixed with #20 (comment)

[IeuanWalker]

@robinmanuelthiel ahh thanks for that I'll give it a go.
