MS Windows Server 2008
I use SVN to checkout a project to .\proj and a dependency to .\dep. The .sln file is at .\proj\proj.sln. I us the MsBuild plugin with the setting "MsBuild Build File" = "proj\proj.sln" (or a number of variants such as .\proj\proj.sln). Msbuild fails with MSB1009: Project file does not exist. However, running a similar command manually succeeds.
[JENKINS-13863] MSBuild is unable to build projects in a different directory
I should have attached this earlier. There's no command line argument, just specify the path to the project as the project file argument. Please see "betterbuild.txt" which I just ran by hand from the command line.

I solved this by using the environment variable WORKSPACE and setting the solution path to "%WORKSPACE%\proj\proj.sln".

added a comment - Josselin Vallet , that workaround works, although I wouldn't call it a solution. Thanks for the advice!

added a comment - There we go! Just change the documentation to make the implementation correct! Although the documentation is still probably lacking a bit. Perhaps
This is the absolute path to the project file MSBuild will use. Alternatively, if the project file is in the root directory of the project's workspace, simply the name of the project file will suffice.
Can someone give me directions on compiling the MSBuild Plugin and testing it locally? I would be happy to give this a whack. It seems like it should be simple. Most frameworks can resolve relative paths.

Fix typo and fix JENKINS-13863

added a comment - That change doesn't look so great. Now, there is a (transient) boolean called continueOnBuilFailure and a final called continueOnBuildFailure. The former is never written to and only accessed on line 70. eek.

Fixed in version 1.15

Do you know a command line argument for msbuild to specify another path?
