Unknown command error in Jenkins when running Cake script using Powershell - powershell

Our Jenkins server has been successfully building projects for years using Powershell to run a cake script. Out of the blue today, we started getting the following error on multiple projects:
12:10:46 Running build script...
12:10:46
12:10:46 Error: Unknown command 'Default'.
12:10:46
12:10:46 .\scripts\build.cake -target=Default -configuration=Release
12:10:46 -verbosity=Verbose -environment=dev -certificatePath=C:/Program Files
12:10:46 (x86)/xxxxx/Verisign Certificate -certificateName=xxxxxxxx_cert.pfx
12:10:46 -certificatePassword=xxxxxxxxxxx
12:10:46 ^^^^^^^ No such command
12:10:46
12:10:47 Build step 'Windows PowerShell' marked build as failure
The build.ps1 script has not changed. The build.cake script has not changed. Jenkins was not updated since the last successful builds nor any of the add-ins.
If I remove "-target=Default" from the argument list, I just get the same error on "-configuration=Release" indicating unknown command: "Release".
Has anyone else experienced this?

The possible root cause of this failure is the cake version update (0.38.x --> 1.0)
You have two ways to fix this issue
Change the Argument Syntex - arguments should always be called with multi-dash syntax (e.g. --target=Foo) instead of (e.g. -target=Foo)
Refer: https://cakebuild.net/docs/getting-started/upgrade
Pinning the cake version
Specified the version of Cake in the tools/packages.config file
Refer: https://cakebuild.net/docs/writing-builds/reproducible-builds/pinning-cake-version

How to solve Taskhash mismatch and metadata is not deterministic in Yocto project build?

I am facing "Taskhash mismatch" & "The metadata is not deterministic and this needs to be fixed" error in Yocto project build. This issue arises without any obvious reasons. With a perfectly good source code repo, the build is success sometime, while it fails some time. There is no change in source code/recipe or any other build parameters.
Error log:
ERROR: When reparsing /home/user/my_project/yocto/sub_project-yocto/meta-subproject/meta-base/recipes-core/sub_project-rootfs-base/sub_project-rootfs-base.bb:do_populate_lic, the basehash value changed from e0bfa2ad64f24d189d23f9d84918c74a7253e0d7e9c7fea4e3346cbc473d43da to c108c533ec82c43aa15730e4ca9c9838f87133e63417f40af0de8ca8cb43f51a.

I resolved this issue by doing two of the following action.
Clean the recipe which throws error during build using following command
bitbake -c cleansstate sub_project-rootfs-base
Update the bb file timestamp by doing empty write or by touching file.
Open the bb file using your editor - vim /home/user/my_project/yocto/sub_project-yocto/meta-subproject/meta-base/recipes-core/sub_project-rootfs-base/sub_project-rootfs-base.bb
Write the file by clicking save button or in vim writing ":w" command
Close the file using "x" button or ":q" command.
Rebuild the project as usual.
Edit : In case there are multiple bitbake recipes showing this error, you can touch all bb files and build again. Go into your yocto folder and run following command. This will take some to touch all file and significantly higher time to rebuild the project.
find . -type f -name "*.bb" -exec touch {} +

Continue after a failing command in appveyor

In appveyor I use the statement:
- initexmf --admin --force --mklinks
but due to a problem it gives the message:
initexmf --admin --force --mklinks
Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed for the following reason:
Script configuration file not found.
The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log
The system cannot find the path specified.
Command exited with code 1
due to the error code the process terminates and I cannot type the C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log anymore, so a bit hard to debug ...
questions:
How to continue after an error
How to stop after the outputting the file (exit 1 ?)
To run a script on failure use on_failure section, for example to push initexmf_admin.log to artifacts:
on_failure:
- appveyor PushArtifact C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log

Allure plugin for VSTS returns error: Unknown Test Runner

The default setting directory "allure-results" in the Allure task usually does not point to the actual path to result directory correctly since the path is different in different projects and environment. You need to update the setting to configure it to the actual path to the result directory manually.
According to the information you provided, the path to the result could be like this:
$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\SolutionFolder\ProjectFolder\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)\allure-results

error on Teamcity running command line custom script

I'm trying to run command line -custom script on Teamcity and getting this error (127):
[02:22:25][Step 1/1] /mnt/teamcity/temp/agentTmp/custom_script8657691082445726475: 1: /mnt/teamcity/temp/agentTmp/custom_script8657691082445726475: ./run.sh: not found
[02:22:25][Step 1/1] Process exited with code 127
[02:22:26][Step 1/1] Step run protractor test (Command Line) failed
any ideas?
It looks like some dependency of your script is not found where it expects it:
./run.sh: not found
Is that the actual script you are running? or is your script trying to call that script?
what solved it was adding 'Agent Requirements' (under build Configuration Settings) saying that 'system.agent.name' equals to the name of the Agent we use.

Hudson failing build w/o revealing cause

Every build has failed as of Tuesday. I'm not exactly sure what happened. The Phing targets (clean/prepare) are being executed properly. Additionally, the unit tests are passing with flying colors, with only a warning for duplicate code (not a reason for a fail). I tried removing the phpDoc target to see if that was causing the error, but the build still failed.

Finished: FAILURE
What changed since Tuesday? Try to manually run exactly the same commands that Hudson tries to run from the same directory that Hudson starts it from (usually the jobs workspace directory). Of course with the user account that Hudson is started under.
There are several possibilities. ranging from standard groups for a directory, to permission, or other things outside of Hudson. Was Hudson upgraded? Was a plugin upgraded? Was the OS or php upgraded? Was there a change in the default or user .profile or .env (or the equivalent files)? Does another process accesses the workspace? ......
Once I had the problem that all of the sudden my deployment scripts did not run anymore. The mystery was, that I could still run the script from command line with the Hudson user account. The reason was simple but took a while to uncover. There was a java upgrade from 5 to 6. Both versions were available. After comparing the environment variables, there was a difference in the path. The problem was that the new path was set in the global .profile. But Hudson does not open an interactive shell, therefore the .profile will not be executed. If you have a problem like this, you can put the initialization in the .env file (or whatever the filename is for your system), because this will be run regardless if it is a interactive shell or not. Alternatively you can configure Hudson to set it on master or node/slave level.
if you want a command to not break the 'build' as a failure you have to add #! in front of the command to prevent the flags -xe which produce this behaviour.
