Post Build exited with code 1

post-buildvisual-studio-2008

I have a project with a post build event:

copy $(ProjectDir)DbVerse\Lunaverse.DbVerse.*.exe  $(TargetDir)

It works fine every time on my machine. I have a new developer who always gets the "exited with code 1" error. I had her run the same command in a DOS prompt, and it worked fine. What could be causing this? Is there any way to get to the real error?

We are both using Visual Studio 2008.

She had a space in one of the folder names in her path, and no quotes around it.

If you have something in your custom build step that returns an error code, you can add:

exit 0

as the last line of your build step. This will stop the build from failing.

At a guess I would say it is missing quotes somewhere - ie folders with spaces in the name, assuming the actual path is in C:\Documents and Settings\... but would need to see the real build output and the path of your solution file to give a definative answer
