TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition <Build Definition Name> rootArgumentValues

by XDK 25. June 2013 14:27

Error:

The values provided for the root activity's arguments did not satisfy the root activity's requirements: ''Build Parameter':
The following keys from the input dictionary do not map to arguments and must be removed: <Parameter Name>. 
Please note that argument names are case sensitive. Parameter name: rootArgumentValues

Explanation:

The error appears when the build parameter is removed from the template template and still avaiable in the build tables.

The table tbl_BuildDefinition contains all information for a build definition. ProcessParameters column will contains the build parameter details

Solution:

Refresh the build definition and save it. In the process tab, there is a Refresh button that will reload the build definition and the process template and synchronize them

ERROR

"Run On Agent (reserved build agent <Agent1>). There was no endpoint listening at <TFS url> that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

Solution
