Azure Build Pipeline Failed

Question

Need help figuring why we are getting the below error when trying to perform a build:

    stderr:

##[error]Error: Archive creation failed for archive file: /home/vsts/work/1/a/release/53059.zip 

The above is from the ArchiveFiles@2 task within our Azure DevOps build pipeline. Here's the task:

- task: ArchiveFiles@2
  condition: eq(variables.IS_AFFECTED, 'true')
  inputs:
    rootFolderOrFile: $(Pipeline.Workspace)/dist/${{ folder }}
    includeRootFolder: false
    archiveType: zip
    archiveFile: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/release/$(Build.BuildId).zip
    replaceExistingArchive: true

Answer 1

I had the same issue with both ArchiveFiles@2 and ExtractFiles@1 tasks.

In my case it appeared to be the volume of files being archived and extracted. As a temp fix for the ArchiveFiles I set the properties "quiet: true" and "verbose: false" and it was fine. Unfortunately for the ExtractFiles I had to look at why I had so many files in the archive and trimmed it down to get that working.
