NCover failing due to 'Parameter "system.teamcity.build.checkoutDir" is undefined.'
Any idea why I am getting the following error in all my build logs which use NCover:
Parameter "system.teamcity.build.checkoutDir" is undefined.
I thought the paramter referenced in the error message was defined by TeamCity? Is that incorrect? The 6.5.x docs seem to imply this:
In your build script you may refer to the effective value of build checkout directory via the teamcity.build.checkoutDir property provided by TeamCity.

Hi Andrew
As stated at Predefined Build Parameters page:
Hi Michael,
I am not using the property in my configuration at all. The error occurs just after the checkout:

Please check how artifact dependencies are configured for this build configuration.
It looks like that parameter is used in artifact path rules there. Change them to relative paths.
Hi Michael,
I don't use the parameter in my artifact dependency at all:
The path rules both start with a folder name e.g. test\bin.
Cheers,
Andrew
