[OzTFS] Email notifications in TFS

Hi all, Can anyone point me to some good resources around expanding on the email notifications provided in TFS? My short term specific problem is that we are moving from a process of having developers/tests email their problems via a mailing list that goes to all infrastructure staff, to a

[OzTFS] A few little questions

Heyas, As usual, I am the biggest spammer of questions on this list. :) Hope you guys don't mind too much. Here's a couple of (hopefully) easy questions: 1) We don't want 'Partially Succeeded'. For us, this is a fail. I have found some resources around getting build properties out and setting

[OzTFS] Team Build Maintenance Methodology

Hi all, So I want to put out the question around how people do team build developement. We have a big project, we have 3 different CI builds and a Main build. We also have a test build that we use to 'try stuff' and come up with solutions before merging into the main build. We were about to do

[OzTFS] Custom Tasks : Unit Tests

hi all (again), For custom MSBuild tasks, I find it easy to create unit tests. Something like this: [TestMethod] public void TestCreateGuid() { Microsoft.Sdc.AU.Common.tasks.Common.CreateGuid task = new Microsoft.Sdc.AU.Common.tasks.Common.CreateGuid(); task.Format = N;

Hey gang, 4 nights ago was build x and we are currently up to x+3. We want to re-run build x such that it will be identical to the original build x. Basically it should be identical output. Is this possible? The only thing I can think of is creating a property that specifies a changeset or a

[OzTFS] Global List for builds suddenly half empty

Heyas, So we have a global list that has our builds in it. It is referenced in bugs via the Found In field. I believe this is out of the box behaviour. Suddenly half the items in the list are missing. We are currently up to main build 132. The list has items 1 to 55 in it, and then value 132.

[OzTFS] RE: So many build steps in TFS2008 build that can't scroll down to see them all

You’ll get a build step for every project in your solution. For example, we have a solution (in ‘SolutionToBuild’) with 60 projects in it. Also, check for manual BuildStep tasks. Code like below could cause a heap of useless build steps: CreateItem Include=c:\**\*.* Output

[OzTFS] Copy work items between projects

[OzTFS] RE: Team Build Issue - Incorrect Build Order

I'd be happy to help if you can send the build definition file to me (tfsbuild.proj). Otherwise, can you provide your XML in the tfsbuild.proj file around the SolultionsToBuild node? Are you just specifying the one solution, or individual projects? Regards, Steven Nagy Readify | Senior

RE: [OzTFS] RE: Team Build Issue - Incorrect Build Order

I see no issue with this at all. Can you also post the contents of your tfsbuild.rsp file please? The only thing I can think of is an MSBuild parameter in there to force parallelisation, which could cause this issue. Regards, Steven Nagy Readify | Senior Developer M: +61 404 044 513 | C: [EMAIL

[OzTFS] RE: Drop folder management

Damian, manage this through the retention policy. Edit your build definition and you will see the retention policy tab. That way you can clean up different builds in different ways. Steven Nagy | SDC - Release Team | Independent Contractor to Microsoft Australia | P +61 (2) 88179251 X9251 | M
