Storing version info with FB under Team Foundation Build

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi

We're looking at using FB with our TFS 2008 infrastructure and have a build working using TFS as the build server with FB doing the actual build.  We want to increment our version numbers with each sucessive build and are currently using FB to do this.  

In this scenario, what is the best strategy for storing the version numbers after each build?

Thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

Writing the version information out to a file that’s stored within the TFS repository would be the simplest method as the file will be automatically available on any build agent, you would simply need to do a Check Out -> Update -> Check In at the end of your build to update the version numbers for the next build. The easiest way to store the version information would be to use the INI file actions.

Regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul

Sounds like that would be pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the response.
