Running "build.cmd" and "build.cmd vs" always having build failure

[eriawan]

Running "build.cmd" and "build.cmd vs" always having build failure. I have tried to follow instruction in this DEVGUIDE, but the build always failed.

Repro steps

Provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

Run one of these:

1. Run build.cmd
2. Run build.cmd vs
3. Run build.cmd vs debug

Expected behavior

Build should be succesful.

Actual behavior

Build failed.
These are the errors after running build.cmd:

---------------- Done with package restore, verify buildfrom source ---------------
---------------- Done with package restore, starting proto ------------------------

FYI, running build.cmd vs debug has resulted in build failed too, and most of the error messages are about couldn't load "FSharpEmbedResXSource" task.
Is there anything I should do before running build.cmd? CMIIW, if there's anything I should do before running build.cmd, then the DEVGUIDE needs to be updated.

Known workarounds

None that I know.

@eriawan Did you do build proto or git clean -xfd before building?

[eriawan]

@dsyme
I have done git clean -xfd and still have the same errors.
Do I have to do build proto first before build or build vs debug?

[dsyme]

@eriawan No, it should just work. Could you paste a full log for a build after git clean -xfd please?

[eriawan]

ok, I'll try again now.

[eriawan]

@dsyme
it builds fine now after I ran git clean -xfd.
But I have to use Developer command prompt for Visual Studio 2017 with Administrator rights in order to build successfully.

Is running build under Administrator right necessary?

[eriawan]

@forki thanks!

IMHO, the DEVGUIDE.md needs to be clarified with these steps then.

[eriawan]

Thanks @dsyme and @forki for the feedback! I can build successfully now.

Don, could I propose an update to DEVGUIDE,md?

[abelbraaksma]

The administrator right issue is mentioned there somewhere, but could certainly be more prominent. I have recently updated the script for update-vsintegration.cmd to give a meaningful error when those rights aren't there. I'm planning to do that for the other scripts as well, but it may take a short while as I'll be on a holiday first.

[abelbraaksma]

Note that the scripts should work in a normal prompt with administrator rights. If they don't, it's a bug. I believe there may be an issue with locating the correct location for the VS tools. It's also on my to-do list.

[dsyme]

Don, could I propose an update to DEVGUIDE,md?

Yes, of course, please do
