TFS REST Api Update Build Definition Or Pass Variable While Queuing the Build C#

问题

I've ran into a problem while trying to update my existing build definition in TFS by a console application written on C#. I am queuing a build successfully but the arguments i pass in parameters are not applied in the build as I can see. I tried to update the definition before I trigger it but i receive bad requests on it also.Which approach is better and if someone did it before I will ask for assistance with it. The only thing i need is to pass some parameters. I prefer not to pass strings as well too. Thanks :)

I am following the TFS REST Api documentation -> https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/integrate/api/build/definition-templates

You can try this. Customize your build process on fly

$url = "$($env:SYSTEM_TEAMFOUNDATIONCOLLECTIONURI)$env:SYSTEM_TEAMPROJECTID/_apis/build/definitions/$($env:SYSTEM_DEFINITIONID)?api-version=2.0"

$definition = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN"} -Method Get -ContentType application/json
Write-Host "Befor json = $($definition | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100)" 

    $definition.build[1].enabled = "True"   
    $definition.build[1].inputs.msbuildArgs = "\OutPath bla-bla-bla"

    $Updatedefinition = Invoke-RestMethod -uri $url -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN"} -Method PUT -Body (Convertto-Json  $Updatedefinition  -Depth 100) -ContentType "application/json"

Write-Host "After json = $($Updatedefinition | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100)"

Bad Request means you have a bad syntax. The syntax of Update a build definition should be look like:

PUT https://{instance}/defaultcollection/{project}/_apis/build/definitions/{definitionid}?api-version={version}

You can refer to the sample request to write your own syntax:

PUT https://fabrikam.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/Fabrikam-Fiber-Git/_apis/build/definitions/29?api-version=2.0
Content-Type: application/json
