Closed Issue: Exception when accessing Build Log [3242]

PeterBlomqvist — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:15:17 GMT

I get this exception when clicking the Build Log tab:
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:01:00'

Can you help me out?

Closed Issue: Problem authenticating against the TFS Server [3371]

Hi guys - I spent some time installing TfsBuildLab, and initially had trouble getting it to work. Every time I started the service, I was getting exceptions in the event log, with the following message: "You are not authorized to access the server <tfsserver>". I thought this may have ben to do with the event registration security permissions, so I set the events up manually and turned auto event registration to false, as per the install instructions, but I continued to get exceptions logged with this same message.

I hunted through the code, and I found that in the Callista.BuildLab.Core.Tfs class, the exception was occurring because of the following code:

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tfsUser) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(tfsPassword))
{
_tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(tfsUri);
}
else
{
_tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(tfsUri, new NetworkCredential(tfsUser, tfsPassword));
}

In my case, I have values for both tfsUser (in the format domain\userid), and tfsPassword, as I specified these in the config file. It appeared that having the domain specified as part of the userid string does not result in the domain value being applied to the NetworkCredential in the line contained within the "else" block. In other words, because the code is not explicitly setting the domain, tfsBuildLab is trying to connect to the server using credentials which have a uid specified as "domain\username" and a blank domain string.

To resolve this issue, I believe that either the above code should use the TeamFoundationServer constructor that does not take the network credentials (this results in the thread principal's identity (i.e. the service account) credentials being used, which means that the service must be running as an account which has permission to connect to the server (as an admin??)), or the code inside the else block above should also be specifying a domain. It would be possible (and probably less complicated for configuration also) to perform a string.split on tfsUser to separate the domain out from the actual userid, otherwise I'd suggest simply including a new config setting for the user's domain, and changing the tfsUser setting to accept a uid only (without the domain specifier).

Cheers
Mark

Closed Issue: Ignore changeset entries that only have a change type of Merge [4121]

I have two builds queued right now that don't need to be built, because TFSBuildLab triggered on the paths without accounting for the change type. Any file in a changeset that only has a change type of merge is a discard operation and would not affect the build. TFSBuildLab should ignore changeset entries that only have a change type of Merge.

Fantastic! We bump into these more and more often as trunk diverges from its nearest branch during longer cycles, so this change will be really helpful.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the feedback - I've added a check if the tfsUser is specified as a domain\user and if so I split and pass each part to the constructor. Hopefully this will help in your case. The strange thing is that I've used the user\domain in my environment and it has worked fine. But anyway, the fix feels more appropriate and.

The change is checked in as changeset #4579 and will be in the v1 release in the next couple of weeks.

Mark,

Thanks for an excellent post and tracking down the problem, we will fix this in v1. I hope that it works well for you otherwise.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: PeterBlomqvist **

This is a minor bug, the build engine will try to post the build in the queue at the interval specified (1 minute being default) and should not long the fact that a build is already running. This will be removed in version 1.0

This has to do with the fact that our current implementation of the list function for build events is not fully implemented and when the volumes of events gets to large it will cause problems with WCF and to large messages. Version 1,0 of the product will have addressed this problem, however this will not affect the functionality of the CI builds only the build event tab in the admin client is affected.
