I'm trying to build this, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-xamarin-android-get-started/, project with VSTS. Code is checked in, default build configuration used. But for unknown reason, it fails. It seems that all code and assemblies is downloaded:

To me it seems that the everything is downloaded to c:\a\1\s. But later, the error is thrown on
ERROR (login): C:/a/1/s/FirstXamarinApp does not exist.
'\' has been replaced by '/'. Can this be the reason?
I haven't done anything special with the build steps. Just referenced the solution file, project file, added username and password for Xamarin and set Java to version 8 instead of custom.
In Visual Studio, the project builds just fine.
