How to Find Reason of Failed Build Without Any Error or Warning

How to find the reason for a failed Build without any error or warning

I just ran into a similar situation. In my case, a custom action (from the MSBuildVersioning package available on Nuget.org - http://www.nuget.org/packages/MSBuildVersioning/) which appeared in the csproj file's BeforeBuild target was failing without triggering any error message in the normal place.

I was able to determine this by setting the "MSBuild project build output verbosity" (in the latest Visual Studio's Tools tab [Path: Tools > Options > Build and Run]) to "Diagnostic" as shown below. This then showed that the custom action (in my case HgVersionFile) was what had failed.

Visual Studio build failing and not showing any error

In my case I fixed this by restarting my PC

Visual Studio 2015 project builds failed but no errors

I have had the same problem and closing and re-opening Visual Studio clears it up.

I had also tried Cleaning the solution and the Clean Failed as well.

There may be other scenarios where this does not do the trick, but in my case restarting has resolved this for me.

running Java in vscode: build failed, do you want to continue? if i choose proceed, it works fine

it's because the build will compile all the java files in the project, so, I think there are some problems of your other java files as can't pass the compile, but this one can pass the compile, so if you proceed, it will still work. you can get the details in the droplist item named 'Language Support for java' on 'OUTPUT' panel.
