--------------------------------------
"Jenkins mustn't kill mspdbsrv.exe to be able to build more than one Visual
Studio project at the same time."
Although i will try the indicated workaround, i think this would be good to
have it as a feature somewhere, maybe in the node configuration?
> Visual studio builds started by Jenkins fail with "Fatal error C1090" because

> Key: JENKINS-9104
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-9104
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Windows XP, using MSBuild or devenv.exe to build MS
> Visual Studio Projects
> Reporter: Christoph VogtlÃĪnder
> Priority: Minor
>
> I run into errors when using a customized build system which uses Visual
> Studio's devenv.exe under the hood to compile VisualStudio 2005 projects
> (with VC++ compiler). When starting two parallel builds with Jenkins (on
> different code base) the second job will always fail with "Fatal error C1090:
> PDB API call failed, error code '23' : '(" in exactly the same second the
> first job finishes processing. Running both jobs outside Jenkins does not
> produce the error.
> This has also been reported for builds executed by MSBuild on the Jenkins
> user mailing list [1].
> I analysed this issue thoroughly and can track the problem down to the usage
> of mspdbsrv.exe. This program is automatically spawned when building a
> VisualStudio project. All Visual Studio instances normally share one common
> pdb-server which shutdown itself after a idle period (standard is 10
> minutes). "It ensures access to .pdb files is properly serialized in parallel
> builds when multiple instances of the compiler try to access the same .pdb
> file" [2].
> I assume that Jenkins does a clean up of its build environment when a
> automatically started job finishes (like as described at
> http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Aborting+a+build). I checked
> mspbsrv.exe with ProcessExplorer and the process indeed has a variable
> JENKINS_COOKIE/HUDSON_COOKIE set in its environment if started through
> Jenkins. Killing mspdbsrv.exe while projects are still connected will break
> compilation.
> Jenkins mustn't kill mspdbsrv.exe to be able to build more than one Visual
> Studio project at the same time.
