SQL CI

"Task could not be loaded" error when using TFS Build plugin

The following error text appears when using SQL CI TFS Build plugin:

Error message

error MSB4062: ... task could not be loaded from the assembly ...

Cause

SQL CI can't find the TFS files it needs to run. This is usually because you've upgraded to TFS 2015 and have previously used version 2.0.2.439 or earlier of the TFS Build plugin. These versions aren't compatible with TFS 2015.

Fix

Even if you've updated to the latest version of TFS Build plugin, the error will keep appearing until you delete your existing SQL CI project files and recreate your build configuration using the new plugin.

For more details, follow the instructions on Updating the TFS Build plugin
