MSB4023 Cannot evaluate the item metadata "%(FullPath)". The item metadata "%(FullPath)" cannot be applied to the path ""

Narendra Jangir 0

I started getting this error in the all .net6 apps build from last couple of days.

MSB4023 Cannot evaluate the item metadata "%(FullPath)". The item metadata "%(FullPath)" cannot be applied to the path "Endpoint=https://xyz.azconfig.io". The given path's format is not supported.

When I build the project I started getting 3 more errors- Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Error   MSB3030 Could not copy the file "Endpoint=https://xyz.azconfig.io" because it was not found.    ConsoleApp1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets    5215

Error   MSB3030 Could not copy the file "Id=uzRN-lo-s0:nfvf/KDPta7aI86ZLWe1" because it was not found.  ConsoleApp1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets    5215

Error   MSB3030 Could not copy the file "Secret=pjCrT0acZV8gobbW30MOtHeIK1S8Be8GNI0gKOnt0Ns=" because it was not found. ConsoleApp1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets    5215

I have tried below given ways with no luck-

Clean the solution and rebuild
Delete bin and obj folder and rebuild
Close the visual studio and reopen and build
Delete visual studio cache
Uninstall visual with all features and install back.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello @Narendra Jangir ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Did this project work before?

I see that, for the first error, there’s one message => The given path’s format is not supported. If the path was set by yourself, can you double confirm that the path’s format is correct? If it’s related to code, could you tell us what type of project and programming language you are using(with some code snippets to check further)?

If it is possible, I may suggest you try to build this project on another machine and check if the same error appears to narrow down this issue.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi @Tianyu Sun-MSFT , first error "The given path’s format is not supported" started arising with all these errors.

Project path is not an issue. Even though a startup.net console app throwing the same error (all .net builds are failing) in C drive itself.

How I started facing them error-

Project build was working fine by last Friday. I defined user-secrets for one of the project, changed its directory after that I started getting the error. Later I deleted all the user secrets from path: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UserSecrets.

Here secret value was "Endpoint=https://apcs-bmk-realtime-uks-dev-001.azconfig.io;Id=uzRN-lo-s0:nfvf/KDPta7aI86ZLWe1;Secret=pjCrT0acZV8gobbW30MOtHeIK1S8Be8GNI0gKOnt0Ns=" and all three parts of this secret value are being indicated in the errors. I am struggling why the build is failed for all the .net projects for a secret value.

On any other machine same code is working fine.

I have tried below given ways with no luck-

Clean the solution and rebuild.

Delete bin and obj folder and rebuild

Close the visual studio and reopen and build

Delete visual studio cache.

Uninstall visual with all features and install back.

Tried a new .net console app from visual studio code.

I am fine to delete folder or file which is causing the problem.

Requesting for any quick help.

Thanks,

Narendra
