Azure DevOps Build Pipeline for D365 FO (X++)

Hello,

I am working on Azure DevOps build pipeline based on the standard template available from MS. On pipeline execution getting below error such as

##[error]D:\a\1\NuGets\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage\DevAlm\Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Tools.BuildTasks.targets(55,5): Error MSB4181: The "FindModuleFromDescriptor" task returned false but did not log an error.  

 

Is there a workaround/solution to progress further?

Thanks

Rama

    Try to fix by the following:

     

    1. Verify Descriptor Files

    Ensure that each package you're building has a valid Descriptor.xml file in the correct location:

    • Path should be:
    <RepoRoot>\Build\<PackageName>\<PackageName>.Descriptor.xml

     

    1. Check Package Naming

    Make sure the folder and project names match the expected package names exactly. 

    1. Update NuGet Packages

    Ensure you're using the correct and latest versions of the required NuGet packages:

    • Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Platform.CompilerPackage
    • Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.DevALM.BuildXpp
    • Others depending on your packages

     

    1. Check Pipeline Configuration

    Make sure your pipeline YAML or classic pipeline JSON is referencing the correct paths and variables:

    • BuildModules should list the correct package names
    • ModuleToBuild should match the descriptor file names
