How to Label Source upon successful build on Visual Studio Team Services

Question

I was trying to use new Build on Visual Studio Team Services (not XAML) but couldn\'t figure out how to label the source upon successful build. Any idea?

Below is t

Answer 1

The XAML build did label sources at the start of the build, while vNext build seems to label at the end of the build. I noticed that, because I modify/checkin/label files during the build. If I let vNext label the build, it moves the label that I have applied to the files after checkin to the previous version (the version that was used in GetSources).

But I did not see the labeling of vNext in any logfile. Did I miss it? I will have to disable labeling in vnext and do it in my msbuild script...

edit: Disabled labeling in vnext build definition and created an msbuild inline task to label the sources of the workspace. Now I can label all sources at the start of the build and move the label for files that were modified during the build :)

If someone wants to do something similiar, here is my inline task:

    
        
        
        
        
    
    
        
         mappedFolders = new List();

        Log.LogMessage("Trying to parse mapped folders.", MessageImportance.High);
        foreach (string line in linesWorkfoldOutput)
        {
            //e.g. $/TPA: C:\TFS_Source\TPA
            if (line.Contains("$/"))
            {
                string[] lineSplit = line.Split(new string[] { ": " }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

                //entry lineSplit[0] now contains the server path, lineSplit[1] contains the local folder
                mappedFolders.Add(lineSplit[1]);
                Log.LogMessage("Found mapped folder: " + lineSplit[1], MessageImportance.High);
            }
        }


        //--- label all the mapped folders ---

        foreach (string mappedFolder in mappedFolders)
        {
            tfProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            tfProcess.StartInfo.FileName = TfexeFullPath;
            tfProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "label " + Label + " \"" + mappedFolder + "\" /child:replace /recursive /comment:\"Label created by task LabelWorkspaceSources\" /version:" + Version;
            tfProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            tfProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            tfProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            tfProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = mappedFolder;
            tfProcess.Start();

            output = tfProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

            tfProcess.WaitForExit();

            Log.LogMessage(tfProcess.StartInfo.Arguments, MessageImportance.High);
            Log.LogMessage(output, MessageImportance.High);
        }
        ]]>
