Removing a task that is breaking the build without updating the project

If a task is breaking the build, you can remove the task to complete a successful build.

Procedure

  1. Right-click a project grouping.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. In the Project Grouping Properties window, click the Properties tab.
  4. Clear the Auto Update check box.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. On the Tasks tab, right-click a task in the "Tasks on top of the baseline" table.
  7. Click Remove from Project Grouping. If the task to remove is in the Manually Added Tasks table, select the task and then click the minus sign (-) next to the table.
    Note: Remove the task from the project grouping; do not exclude the task. Removing a task from the project grouping prevents the task from being a part of your build, but the task is still available to others. For example, the developer who must fix the task requires access to it. Excluding a task makes it unavailable to the developer.
  8. See Updating a project.
  9. Rebuild the project.
