Debugging Hung Build

Hello,
Could you please try 'View thread dump' link to capture thread dumps of
all java/.NET processes of the build.
What process uses the most of CPU (if any)?
What NAnt task is used to start the VSIBUILD? What version of NAnt is it?

Could you please capture process tree from the build agent at the time
it seems hung. For doing this, you may use Sysinternals Process Explorer.

Thanks!

View Thread Dump comes up with: Error -68. Failed to get thread dump from non-java process.

None of the build processes are using the CPU (Sys Idle Process is using all).

I'm using Nant to call a python script to call VSIBuild (ie exec task).

Here's the process output:

To me it looks like this is an issue that vsibuild is spawning devenv.exe under a different login (though they do both say they are under the same account name).
Ideally I just need a way to figure out what is hanging it and it seems like the thread dump is the place, but it's not giving me any info.

Are you running your agent as windows service? Probably the user under which service is running does not have enough rights. Try to specify another user for this service or try to lauch agent via agent.bat.
