Release Management stuck on Pending status–BUG or Feature?

I got this situation here. Deployment step as pending forever! Even after the actions were concluded.

I tried lot of things, what solved was to remove all items from Release Template and re add them.

That’s bad how it is, but for some reason Release Management gets lost sometimes with its components.
Here what was blocking me was the rollback component, once I removed the release started going until the end.

Hope it helps you, ‘cause I lost some time investigating that.

UPDATE: Final conclusion:
The Rollback Always was out of Sequence flow:

Release Management allow us to add the Rollback Always out of the sequence object, and for some mistake it was like that here.

After adding Roolback Always in the Sequence it worked well.

Got the idea to remove some components from here.

Why I’m here!?

First of all, who is writing this is my boyfriend. He forced me to create this blog to share my experiences in Canada.

As it’s my first time abroad, I will experience lot of awesome things. I can say that I can’t write well in English so hopefully I’ll improve it after some weeks in Toronto. Yes, I’m going for Toronto, for 3 months to learn English and to see how is to live in another country.

I want to post every day, at least a single picture and few words. Let’s see 🙂

Unable to copy file "SOME FILE" to "SOME FILE". Access to the path ‘SOME FILE’ is denied.

Usually when you must receive some errors like this when you are building your project within TFS, it’s due the Multi-Proc parameter:

When it’s true it may access the same file by two different processes or thread which will result in the ugly exception from the title.

Scaling out your TFS build services with more agents

Today I was asked about how we may scale out our build services. TFS allow us to have only one Build controller per collection, so we can’t create more than one controller to improve the availability, instead we may add more agents to the existing controller.

That’s what we want to have now:

In your new server, install TFS and in TFS Administration Console, you must go to the Build Configuration tab and run the wizard for Build Service Configuration:

When you reach the window above you can select the option Scale out build services and attach other agents to some existing controller.
