Retrieving path to solution(s)?

问题

We are currently setting up Team Build 2010 for our company, and I am trying to use workflow activities to retrieve the exact local path to the current solution being built. I haven't found a way to get this value, does anybody know how (without writing a custom activity)?

Either one of server or local path would suffice (i.e $/TeamProject/Branch/OurProject or C:\TeamBuild\src\path\to\branch\OurProject) since we can use the conversion activities on the server item.

The reason we need this path is for updating version info files, and that needs to be done for only the current solution being built, and the files have the same names (AssemblyInfo.cs, for example).

In this similar question, the solution is to define a parameter, but since this information is particular to the solution being built and not some external path, we were hoping that this info would retrievable.

回答1:

You can retrieve this particular info without adding anything. If you navigate within your Build Process Template to the position where MSBuild breaks out, you will see that the solution that shall be build is set as a string named localProject.
This will contain the local path where TFS has downloaded your SLN, something like C:\TeamBuild\src\path\to\branch\OurProject\OurProject.sln.

Open the XAML and navigate to:

Run On Agent
  Try Compile, Test, and Associate Changesets and Work Items
    Compile, Test, and Associate Changesets and Work Items
      Try Compile and Test
        Compile and Test
          For Each Configuration in BuildSettings.PlatformConfigurations
            Compile and Test for Configuration
              If BuildSettings.HasProjectsToBuild
                For Each Project in BuildSettings.ProjectsToBuild
                  Try to Compile the Project
                    Compile the Project
                      Run MSBuild for Project

if you select Run MSBuild for Project & hit F4 you see it.

In order to retrieve what you are after you can define another string-variable solutionPath in your Build Process Template & insert under the Run MSBuild for Project a new Assign activity with

To : solutionPath and
Value : Path.GetDirectoryName(localProject)

回答2:

1. Have you looked at the TFS Community Build Extensions, they give you a assembly versioning out of the box?

2. You can use the variable called SourcesDirectory to get the current Source Directory on the Build Server. You can also use an ConvertWorkspaceItem activity to convert between server and local paths.

There's also a blog post that cover's all of this here.
