I've been working on a project for some time now and now I want to use Visual Studio Team Services for it. Locally, the building in Visual Studio doesn't give an error and the application works as intended.
I've checked in this working code to VSTS so it's in the repo and good to go.
Now I want to build it. I created a new Build definition with nothing changed. When I run the build it fails. I tried editing the build definition but with my 0 experience with this I only screw up more and create more errors.
My problem: Apparently, it wants to find C:\a\1\s But I have no idea why and how it came up with that path.
What do I have to change in the build definition? I'm new to this so I don't know what all the settings do and where the files are that it needs.
I tried adding the .sln file from the project folder to the build definition (as shown in the 2nd image) but it still want to find that weird path.
So here are the build definitions, steps that go wrong and the errors in the logs.

Edit
The build definition's repository tab:
The repository structure:
According to the logs you provided:
2016-03-07T15:00:44.4590685Z Done syncing repository Test project to version 3 (workspace version -1)
This issue may caused by the access permission of your build account. Please check and make sure the account that the build agent use has the permission to access to your code repository.
Same issues for your reference:
When you queued a new build, did you enter a Source Version to get? I see a Version 3 coming by in the logs, but no files are actually transferred. If you want to fetch a specific changeset, you need to enter C3 instead of 3. But I'd recommend to just leave the box empty.
