tfsbuild

In the project I've inherited, the original developer used a number of post-build events in his Visual Studio projects to copy around DLL's and stuff when building inside VS. This is causing some grief now that I'm trying to move these things to the TFS 2010 Build system. I was hoping to be able to create a new "Continuous" project configuration, and exclude those post-build events from Visual Studio in that configuration - but it seems those calls aren't configurable based on your project configuration.... Any ideas? Is there something I could check for to know I'm running under TFS Build and

I am developing an Angular2 application in VS2015 and have a webpack bundling and minification environment set up for the same. This is my webpack.conf.js switch (process.env.NODE_ENV) { case 'prod': case 'production': module.exports = require('./config/webpack.prod'); break; case 'test': case 'testing': //module.exports = require('./config/webpack.test'); break; case 'dev': case 'development': default: module.exports = require('./config/webpack.dev'); } I have also installed a webpack task runner which invokes this with the following commands cmd /c SET NODE_ENV=development&& webpack -d -

We have just installed TFS 2015 (Update 1) on-premise and are trying to create a Continuous Integration/Build system using the new TFS Build system. The build works fine, and gives me a green light, but when I look at the default build it has only built the binaries from the bin directory, and there seems to be no easy way to deploy the app on-premise to a local server. There are two deploy options for a filesystem copy, and a powershell script, and it would certainly be easy enough to use them to copy files to a new server, but since the build only built the binaries, I don't see a tool to

We are currently testing whether we can replace our current build server (TeamCity) with TFS 2015 Build. Does anyone know of TFS 2015 has built-in Nuget Server like TeamCity. Thx Harshil Lodhi Package Management (NuGet with npm and maven coming soon) is currently only available for VSTS. The on-premises support for Package Management will come in the next version of TFS. Source - TFS Feature Timeline for 2016 VSTS and TFS now provide built-in support for Maven Package Management to compliment its support of NuGet and npm. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2017/05/22/visual

In short, the requirement is to verify that our latest released software can be built and then installed after the latest Windows updates and/or other patches were applied. So the build server VM(s) will be configured just for this purpose and the build only needs to run after an update. Since such updates usually are followed with a restart, I am thinking of a server restart event triggering a build and deployment. Does such option exist in TFS 2017? If there is no way to do it through TFS then, I guess, a PowerShell script that runs on startup should work? No such a build-in function to

How to step up TFS 2015 Update 2 to delete artifacts when build is deleted? Is this possible? EDIT: Add retention screen shot I am using the default retention policy but it is NOT deleting artifacts from the drive. EDIT: Add Copy and Publish Build Artifacts EDIT: Add Working Folder I added a powershell to display all environment variables and it said my workingFolder = E:TfsBuilds\Agent1_WorkPlace\5\s Do you a powershell to set workingFolder to default? Here is the file structure i have: PatrickLu-MSFT If you specify build retention policies , retention policies will delete the items below:
