ProjectNTfs dependency is not auto-updated

[jkotas]

The last auto-update was in February. I am doing manual one as part of dotnet/corefx#36172.

@ViktorHofer Do you happen to know where to look to get this fixed?

@dagood where can we go to investigate this? When I yanked buildtools I manually plumbed versiontools back in. I tested a couple targets and confirmed they worked but it might not have been sufficient for what get's called in the maestro v1 PRs. I suspect there's a build somewhere that's failing when trying to prep a PR.

Also, may make more sense to just wait till I pick up the new versiontools from arcade. That'll be less of a hack. Was blocked on that due to arcade breaking changes up until this morning.

First, check out which action the subscription is: https://github.com/dotnet/versions/blob/fff00830cfa4d8d1fc4ec39b249999d3457a0f6f/Maestro/subscriptions.json#L448-L460

Go to the corefx-general action to find the def: https://github.com/dotnet/versions/blob/fff00830cfa4d8d1fc4ec39b249999d3457a0f6f/Maestro/subscriptions.json#L16-L20

Assemble the URL: https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_build?definitionId=1084

Yeah, it's been failing a lot, e.g. https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_build/results?buildId=2516169

MSBUILD : error MSB1001: Unknown switch.
Switch: -inittools

Thanks @dagood. I just took a quick look and seems like I don't have enough permission to see which script is executed (can't see the variable group) or if it's an inline script, what the arguments are. Can you help?

[dagood]

Interesting... do you see an option to "View queue time variables" in the ... menu at the top right?

But, the subscription has that info: https://github.com/dotnet/versions/blob/fff00830cfa4d8d1fc4ec39b249999d3457a0f6f/Maestro/subscriptions.json#L465-L476

The script is this:

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/d9dcfc5ab3c5bda9fe211699d5bde7df8c5fe6d5/eng/update-dependencies.cmd#L1-L4

Looks like the option was removed in dotnet/corefx@a619534?

[ViktorHofer]

Thanks a lot. I just fixed that directly: dotnet/corefx@9224925.

[dagood]

Nice, no problem. If you want to try running the def manually to validate (and get any other missed updates current), it looks like queueing a new build with the arg names + values from the failed build's queue time variables dialog would do it.

[ViktorHofer]

Thanks, I'll just wait :)

I queued a build manually just to verify it is fixed:

https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_build/results?buildId=2518041

It seems to be working, it opened:
dotnet/corefx#36215

[ViktorHofer]

impatient 😂
