What does “exited with code 9009” mean during this

Question

What does this error message mean? What could I do to correct this issue?

AssemblyInfo.cs exited with code 9009

---

The problem is probably happening as part of a post-build step in a .NET solution in Visual Studio.

Answer 1

You need to make sure you have installed grunt globally

Answer 2

Error Code 9009 means error file not found. All the underlying reasons posted in the answers here are good inspiration to figure out why, but the error itself simply means a bad path.

Answer 3

Most probably you have space in your resultant path.

You can work around this by quoting the paths, thus allowing spaces. For example:

xcopy "$(SolutionDir)\Folder Name\File To Copy.ext" "$(TargetDir)" /R /Y /I

Answer 4

For me, disk space was low, and files that couldn't be written were expected to be present later. Other answers mentioned missing files (or misnamed/improperly referenced-by-name files)--but the root cause was lack of disk space.

Answer 5

Actually I noticed that for some reason the %windir% environment variable sometimes get erased. What worked for me was re-set the windir environment variable to c:\windows, restart VS, and that's it. That way you prevent having to modify the solution files.

Answer 6

If the script actually does what it needs to do and it's just Visual Studio bugging you about the error you could just add:

exit 0

to the end of you script.
