team-build

In our project, we'd like to have our TFS build put each project into its own folder under the drop folder, instead of dropping all of the files into one flat structure. To illustrate, we'd like to see something like this: DropFolder/ Foo/ foo.exe Bar/ bar.dll Baz baz.dll This is basically the same question as was asked here , but now that we're using workflow-based builds, those solutions don't seem to work. The solution using the CustomizableOutDir property looked like it would work best for us, but I can't get that property to be recognized. I customized our workflow to pass it in to

I have 3 TFS Builds (2 Dev and 1 Cert). I would like to modularize the builds so I don't have to edit 3 files each time I make a change to the common items. The problem I have is that Only the items in the build folder (under TeamBuildTypes) are automatically retrieved by the Team Build. I can put in code in my build process to get other files, but by then it is too late. Here is the scenario that I have. I make a "Common" location for common tasks. I then went and made changes to that file. Because the file does not down load until my build process tells it to down load it is retrieved too

Similarly to How to use MsTest in Continuous Integration without VS? , I want to run mstest.exe on a TeamBuild server. My context is Trapping Error Status in MSBuild - i.e., I'm only trying to use mstest.exe /publish to upload the results in to the TFS repository. Thus the full rigmarole in http://www.shunra.com/shunrablog/index.php/2009/04/23/running-mstest-without-visual-studio/ is (you'd hope) likely to be overkill, esp as MSTEST.exe, as covered in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/e4575890-8f88-413c-a7f3-0d09d3b9cb01 suggests all I need to do is install Team
