In TFS 2015 we have a build, that will automatically trigger a new release. It is realized with the new script based build definitions . Now I want to pass a user variable from build to release. I have created a variable "Branch" in the build. In the automatically triggered release I try to access it. But it is always empty/not set. I tried it with $(Branch) and $(Build.Branch) . I also tried to create a variable in release with these names, without success. Is there any chance, to access a user variable from the build definition in the release? I do it now with some custom powershell scripts.

If I am creating a build definition, I can’t choose a Default agent queue. Not so long ago, I can create build definition which includes the default queue. I don’t know what the change was, that it doesn’t work anymore. If I go to edit a correct created build definition and then I try again to create a definition, I can choose the default queue. What is the reason for that? Editing an existing build definition before creating isn’t the solution, because I have many projects and some have a correct build definition and some have no build Definition. If you are meaning the Default agent queue

The REST API Reference for VS Team Services and TFS page separates the "Build 1.0" and "Build 2.0" APIs. It seems like such a difference also exists in the .NET API because running the following code only lists the "old" XAML build definitions and not the new ones. var tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://tfsurl")); var buildServer = tpc.GetService<IBuildServer>(); var def = buildServer.QueryBuildDefinitions("Project Name"); // Finds only XAML definitions Is there a new DLL I can reference to write equivalent code that will work with the new TFS or is the web API all there is?

I'm trying to write a JavaScript client for Visual Studio Team Services REST API which send AJAX requests to our self hosted Team Foundation Server 2015 but I'm facing to a cross domain issue. The API requires credentials to authenticate but due to security reasons, the browser blocks my requests because the parameter Access-Control-Allow-Origin is set with the wildcard * . I tried to add this parameter in HTTP Response Headers in IIS Manager and also in the TFS web.config file (which is actually the same) but I got an error telling me that this parameter has two different value (eg: * and

Been trying all I can think of for days to get this to work. Baseless merges, reparenting, branching and then reparenting. I would like to reparent a branch to be the child of one of it's children and break the relationship between that branch and its parent. In the image below, I would like to move Cassidy-Main and Bohem-Main to be a child of Cassidy-QA and Bohem-QA respectively. Then reparent Cassidy-QA and Bohem-QA to be children of Acme-QA. Thanks in advance for any help/advice/solutions! Once you have completed a baseless merge between where it was and where you want tit to be you will be

I need to create around 6000 work items via my TFS extension. I use typescript and REST API in my extension. below is the code I use to create work item var ops = [ { path: "/fields/System.Title", op: "add", value: "Hello world" } ]; var options = { url: 'http://localhost:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/Agile Git/_apis/wit/workItems/$Bug?api-version=2.2', username: 'username', password: 'password', domain: 'domain', method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json' }, body: JSON.stringify(ops) }; httpntlm.patch(options, function(err,res) { console.log("patch complete");
