Failing builds due to "Exception occurred while patch applying: Failed to create directory"

Does it produce the same error on all agents (that have this problem)? Is the agent's D: drive is a regular drive (not a mapped/memory/etc. one)? Does it happen for all build configuration or just a few ones?

Also, can you please attach more log examples?

The error is the same on all agents. The drive D: is jus ta regular partition on the same physical drive as the primary partition (C:) with Windows. The issue seems to happen for all projects regardless of VCS root etc..

Here are two more examples from a different agent (Drive E: si also a regular drive here) and a different projects:

buildAgent process cannot create a folder for checkout directory. In most cases, it's a problem with permissions - please double check that.

Just checked the permissions again but that shouldn't be the problem. The permissions on the Agent's work directory and it's sub-directories is set to Read/Write for the user role "Everyone". The Agent is started via the batch file from the bin directory and thus runs with the permissions of the logged on user who is both in the Users group and the Administrators group of the machine.

Please try to replace TC/webapps/ROOT/update/buildAgent.zip with this one: ftp://ftp.intellij.net/pub/.teamcity/addDirectoryLogged/buildAgent.zip. It has some logging enabled. Agents should update automatically.

Alright thanks, the Agents are just in the process of updating. I'll post the log entries after issue has occurred again!

Got quite a number of new errors during the couple last days but I wasn't able to post a new log until today... Here's a new log entry for the error (although I don't recognize any additional log messages?):

Oh, I forgot to add that you need to restart the server to let agents grab the new file.

Hmm the server has been restarted last friday so that shouldn't be the issue. Any other idea what might have gone wrong?

This is magic. How does your buildAgent.properties file look like?

Also, do you see attempts to restart in teamcity-agent.log for upgrade?

The upgrade seems to have been completed successfully according to the agent log:

The Build Agent properties file looks like this:

#Generated properties (see buildAgent.dist.properties for description)
#Wed Jul 24 08:45:17 CEST 2013
name=Monster
ownPort=9090
serverUrl=*****
workDir=D\:\\BuildAgent\\work
tempDir=C\:\\BuildAgent\\temp
#User defined properties
#Wed Jul 24 08:45:17 CEST 2013
env.TEAMCITY_JRE=C\:\\BuildAgent\\jre

authorizationToken=*****

Hmm well ok seems that the upgrade didn't work out for this specific agent, at least the agent upgrade.log file doesn't mention any upgrade while all of the other agents seem to have upgraded successfully... Is there any way I can retrigger the upgrade for this agent?

After setting up the agent again using the zip file from the "Install Build Agent" Link the agent was now able to upgrade successfully. I'll wait until the error happens again and hope that the extended logging functionality now works.

I replaced the buildAgent.zip with another one ftp://ftp.intellij.net/pub/.teamcity/addDirectoryLogged/buildAgent.zip. Please put it to the webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/update/

Hmm, this is bad. Can you please grab all log directory from this agent and attach here. Builds shouldn't run on outdated agent.

Ok the error just happened again and this time it seems that some additional messages were logged:

Do you have multiple buildAgents on the same machine or multiple buildAgents share the same working directory?

As far as I can see, the directory was present, but then disappeared
[2014-06-04 14:57:55,188]   INFO -    jetbrains.buildServer.AGENT - Checkout directory: D:\BuildAgent\work\developNightly_32bit. Exists: true

No, there is definitly only one build agent running on those machines that have this problem. Anything else I could check?

Here's another log entry for a different project. Probably nothing new to see there though.

Also do you know why the log says: "[2014-06-07 06:45:13,733]  ERROR - .patches.FSPatcherCallbackImpl - Add directory failed. Dir created: false", while the directory is actually listed in the child dirs list printed directly after that entry?

What if this is not a directory, but a file for some reason? I updated logging and fixes at ftp://ftp.intellij.net/pub/.teamcity/addDirectoryLogged/buildAgent.zip.
