TFS remains out of sync after Get Sources step

Question

We migrated to TFS 2015 RTM recently and were successful in creating build pools, configuring build agents and build definitions.

During the build process, TFS performs Get Sources task and successfully completes the same and marks itself in green.

The problem begins here wherein the build process does not download the entire set of files and folders, picks few folders and downloads them completely and ignores the rest. We have set Clean option to True in the Repository tab of our build definition. Also have marked the files as mapped.

Any help or suggestions in resolving this issue would be great. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the repository tab on the build definition and under Mappings - make sure all the files you need are mapped (and not cloaked). That is what is going to determine what gets pulled down to the build agent. — rerwinX
@rerwinRR We have marked the the files as mapped and not as cloaked. — Santhosh
Can you post the logs of the first build step (Get Sources)? — ds19

According to the log:

2015-12-17T11:53:49.4179203Z Done syncing repository Platform toversion C8496 (workspace version -1)

This seems to be a security related issue.

Please make sure "Project Collection Build Service" has the permission to access to your code folder. Refer to this article for details.
