incremental patch fails [server-side checkout, Perforce ticket-based authentication]
Hi,
my builds are failing when
- building incremental patches, AND
- using Perforce ticket-based authentication, AND
- using server-side checkout, AND
The failure is as follows:

1. This only happens for incremental patches.
If I delete the cached patch on the server (.buildServer/system/caches/sources/*.cache), thus forcing a "clean patch", it works:

...
It also works if the last run was successful and I rerun with no pending code changes. This is probably because no incremental patch is necessary:

2. This only happens with ticket-based authentication
When I change the VCS settings to use username+password, it works. (For some reason, switching from ticket-based authentication to user+pass seems to lead to building a clean patch.)
3. This only happens with server-side checkout
I have not checked this point thoroughly, but I'm using server-side checkout, and the problem does not occur in other projects which use client-side.
Please advise.

Hello Sam,
I'd appreciate if you collect VCS debug logs on the TeamCity server side when you see the problem and send them to us (using teamcity-feedback email address).
Or you may create an issue in our issue tracker, and attach logs there.
A possible workaround for the problem is not to use ticket-based authentication.
Thanks!

Hi Kirill,
Thanks. I have entered an issue and will add the logs shortly.
