Hello,
I have a .sln file, that references a few .csproj files. I am using VSBuild@1 for my pipeline task.
One of the projects has a prebuild command. It runs fine if I build from Visual Studio, but the Azure DevOps VSBuild@1 task fails.
It is one commandline, with 4 seperate commands.
What would I need to do to get this working in Azure DevOps?
Any help would be much appreciated.
This is what is defined in my .csproj file
``
Here is the error log from Azure pipeline
