Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\V\01-Au04\_work\36\s\target\site\serenity'
    Archive files

ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\V\01-Au04\_work\36\s\target\site\serenity'

At the moment of running an Azure manual job I'm getting the same issues after the 40 seconds. I have done many changes, but always get the same errors. Does anybody can help me with this?

Answer 1

You can add the following CmdLine@2 task after your Maven@4 task. It will print out the file structure of the $(Agent.BuildDirectory) folder. Then you can check and find the right file path.

  - task: CmdLine@2
    condition: succeededOrFailed()
    inputs:
      script: |
        cd $(Agent.BuildDirectory)
        tree

Answer 2

The error message is mentioning the exact problem, the path provided is invalid. I suggest one of the following:

1. If the build machine isn't MS hosted, connect to the server during the build run and see the exact path you should send
2. Add a CMD / PowerShell step to show the tree of where your code is running to get full context of what needs to be sent.
