For one Team Project in Team Foundation Server, we noticed that every build definition we created failed with the following error:
“TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition \TestTeamProject\New Build Definition 1: TF214007: No build was found with the URI vstfs:///Build/Build/56720. Either the URI does not exist, or domain\tfsserviceuser does not have permission to access it.”
If you read the description, there are 2 reasons why this can happen:
- The build URI does not exists. (Every build gets a unique URI assigned.)
- The user does not have the permission to access the build definition»
We solved the issue by adding the tfs build user to the TeamProject’s [Build Services] group. Still a little bit weird because I didn’t had to do this for other projects…
