vsofttechnologies / finalbuilder-vso Goto Github PK

I use this task in Azure DevOps to run our Finalbuilder script, which workd out of the box. Brilliant!

But, I get back a warning:

##[warning]Task 'FinalBuilder' (1.0.196) is using deprecated task execution handler. The task should use the supported task-lib: https://aka.ms/tasklib

The way to install the extension for on-prem installations is different to Visual Studio Online. This needs to be documented so that its simpler for users to get started.

There must be a way that tasks and place requirements on agents. We require FinalBuilder to be installed on the agent before the task can run, we need that to be checked some how.

Look at:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/WindowsMachineFileCopy/Tests

This allows unit testing to a degree of powershell task code. This still requires accurate mocking of the passing of parameters to the powershell scripts.

First unit tests that should be implemented.

• Multiline custom arguments with n, r and nr line endings.
• Single multiline custom argument
• More than ten multiline custom arguments

The build and publish process should be automatic. These should also update the build numbers for both the task and the extension itself. These numbers need to change on publish as TFS uses them to work out if the system needs updating or not.

I tried to use the custom arguments but when I assign a variable to the argument only the first caracter is transfered.

ex:
A set this in VSTS under the Custom Arguments
This is a test

In FinalBuilder a set a variable of type string "BuildVersionSelector" and set it to the "Custom Argument 1" parameters in the Custom Arguments section of the "Get TEAM Foundation Build Parameters" Action in FinalBuilder.

I save the variable in a ini file and the result is
[FBVariables]
BuildVersionSelector=T

Hi,

I have followed your installation instructions, but when running:

tfx build tasks upload ./FinalBuilder --overwrite

from the FinalBuilder-VSO folder created, I get the following error:

Command './FinalBuilder' not found. For help, type tfx build tasks upload --help
