I am new to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Team Services.

I am trying to run a build on of simple code using Team Services. However, I get the following error:No solution was found using search pattern 'C:\a\1\s***.sln'.

My steps were:

  1. In Team Services, create a team project, called Same New Project.
  2. Open Visual Studio, configured my workspace.
  3. In VS, created a new solution (Windows Form)
  4. Checked in code.
  5. In Team Services, selected Code from the menu and refreshed screen such that the new project.
  6. Selected Build from menu.
  7. Clicked on + sign to create a new build definition.
  8. Selected Visual Studio. Clicked Next.
  9. Checked Continuous integration (build whenever this branch is updated)
  10. Selected Hosted under Default Agent Queue. Clicked Create.
  11. See the image

  1. Clicked Save.
  2. Clicked Queue Build.
  3. Clicked Ok.
  4. After build completed, got posted error.
    Here is the console output:
    Hosted Agent successfully assigned.
    Configuring connection settings for Hosted Agent
    Starting Hosted Agent

According to the logs from "Get sources" step, solution file (.sln) isn't downloaded. Please check following things:

1: Go to "Code" tab and make sure the solution folder and file has been checked in.

2: Go to "Build" tab and make sure the "Mappings" under "Repository" setting include the solution folder in your build definition. enter image description here
