    Hi 

    I have set up VSTS project and selected hosted agent to build the project, the first-time build failed, I updated few settings in the build definition. After this failure every time I build the project, task "Get Sources" fails with error "Unable to get because a directory already exists". Can you anyone please help me resolve this issue?

    Regards,

    RK

    Hi RK Naik,

    Thanks for posting here.

    >>>VSTS hosted agent Unable to get because a directory already existsa

    Have you try to set the option Clean to true and Clean options to Source directory on the get source task? With this settings, VSTS will clean the source directory before get the source files:

    Since this forum is about MSBuild, as you question is more related to VSTS, if above answer not help you, I suggest that you can open a new thread on the stackoverflow with VSTS tag. 

    Hope this helps.
