How to set assembly version to Jenkins build number?

I am using \"Change Assembly Version\" plug-in in Jenkins to update all AssemblyInfo.cs files of my ASP.NET MVC project to apply version number during build process. If I se

Answer 1

The previous answer about how to use "Change Assembly Version" plugin for Jenkins doesn't work. In my AssemblyInfo.cs files I usually set them up with auto incrementing version to help local dev work.

Example

AssemblyInfo.cs contains:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.*")]

After the Jenkins build if the version is 10 then AssemblyInfo.cs will contain:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.10")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.10")]

The plugin is used like so to achieve the above:

Assembly Version: $BUILD_NUMBER
FileName: 
RegexPattern: Assembly(\w*)Version\("(\d+).(\d+).(\*)"\)
ReplacementPattern: Assembly$1Version("$2.$3.%s")

One other error I got whilst using the plugin was the file permission didn't allow write access. In order to fix this find the AssemblyInfo.cs and disable "Read Only".

Hope to helps anyone.
