    Hi Richie,

     

    Thanks for your reply. The project runs fine in ReadyAPI. Project properties indicate that it is a composite project. 

     

    After digging a bit further I am actually leaning more towards an issue with the agent set up in Azure DevOps. 

     

    The agent I've set up creates a \_work folder followed by numbered subfolders. I've noticed if I set up the wrong \_work folder the build returns the composite error. I assumed the build would just clone the project from GitLab that is set in the connection being used by the pipeline and then overwrite the project in the \_work subfolder. But the composite error also appears when the \_work subfolder is empty.

    In the folder structure there is also a folder \SourceRootMapping and I think this does the check if I'm using the correct \_work subfolder. After some digging I found the correct subfolder and corrected the pipeline settings for this and now the pipeline is running as expected.
