Mystery solved. I needed to:
1. Add BuildUri="$(BuildURI)" to the label task
2. Appended $(LabelQueryScope) to the Name value in the label task
3. Override GetChangeSetsAndUpdateWorkItems
<Target Name="GetChangeSetsAndUpdateWorkItems" Condition="
'$(IsDesktopBuild)'!='true' ">
<GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildURI)"
BuildNumber="$(BuildNumber)"
CurrentLabel="$(BuildNumber)$(LabelQueryScope)"
LastLabel="$(LastGoodBuildNumber)$(LabelQueryScope)"
UpdateWorkItems="$(UpdateAssociatedWorkItems)"
ContinueOnError="true" />
</Target>

Does anyone know if there's a new way to limit the label scope in TFS 2008?

Subject: [OzTFS] Build Upgrade from TFS 2005 to 2008 issues
Hi guys,
I've hit some snags upgrading our builds from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008.
I am having problems picking up the change sets and work items associated with
a build, it is not picking up the previous build label correctly.
Problem #1
The first snag I hit was that the "label" task had been changed (infact the
help online still doesn't seem to be up to date
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa721747.aspx)
Originally I had the following to limit the label to the correct files in my
project:
<Target Name="CoreLabel" Condition=" '$(IsDesktopBuild)'!='true' "
DependsOnTargets="$(CoreLabelDependsOn)">
<Label
Condition=" '$(SkipLabel)'!='true' "
Workspace="$(WorkspaceName)"
Name="$(BuildNumber)@$/$(TeamProject)/$(GetChangesetForFolder)"
Version="W$(WorkspaceName)"
Files="$/$(TeamProject)/$(GetChangesetForFolder)"
Child="$(ChildLabel)"
Comments="$(LabelTaskComment)"
Recursive="true" />
</Target>
I had to change it to this, to get it to work:
<Target Name="CoreLabel" Condition=" '$(IsDesktopBuild)'!='true' "
DependsOnTargets="$(CoreLabelDependsOn)">
<Label
Condition=" '$(SkipLabel)'!='true' "
TeamFoundationServerURL="$(TeamFoundationServerURL)"
Name="$(BuildNumber)"
Version="W$(WorkspaceName)"
Files="$/$(TeamProject)/$(GetChangesetForFolder)"
Child="$(ChildLabel)"
Comments="$(LabelTaskComment)"
Recursive="true" />
</Target>
The changes made were to remove the "Workspace" element, add the
TeamFoundationServerURL and change the Name element.
Removing the "@$/$(TeamProject)/$(GetChangesetForFolder)" from the Name element
was necessary, because it was complaining with:
The label name '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/WorldOriginate/Source' is not supported. It
must be less than 64 characters, cannot end with a space or period, and cannot
contain any of the following characters: "/:<>\|*?@
This seems to work fine, and the label is applied correctly when the build
succeeds.
Problem #2
The next thing to happen was the build worked successfully the first time
picking up all associated files/work items changes since the last build, but
the second and subsequent times I have run the build, not work items are picked
up. Of course, out put from the build is coming out correctly, but the it's
just these associations that are missing that is really annoying me.
This is probably because I am overriding the CoreLabel task, but I'm not sure
why it's happening exactly.
The message I am getting in the build log says:
Task "GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems"
GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems
TeamFoundationServerUrl="http://colorado:8080/";
BuildUri="vstfs:///Build/Build/2203" CurrentLabel="[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/WorldOriginate" UpdateWorkItems=True
BuildNumber="WebSite_20080411.3" BuildUri="vstfs:///Build/Build/2203"
Warning: Cannot find the last label '': no changesets will be associated with
the build.
In the only successful build after the upgrade to TFS 2008, it managed to find
this information, and the build log showed the following:
Task "GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems"
GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems
TeamFoundationServerUrl="http://colorado:8080/";
BuildUri="vstfs:///Build/Build/2151" CurrentLabel="[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/WorldOriginate" LastLabel="WebSite_20080311.1" UpdateWorkItems=True
BuildNumber="WebSite_20080404.7" BuildUri="vstfs:///Build/Build/2151"
Analyzing labels WebSite_20080311.1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED]/WorldOriginate.
Querying item history.
Of course, I've had a look at "GenCheckinNotesUpdateWorkItems" task
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa721749.aspx), but I'm not sure
where it gets the LastLabel from?
I suspect removing the Removing the
"@$/$(TeamProject)/$(GetChangesetForFolder)" from the Name element is the
problem - but I can't figure out where this information should go ...
Also, anyone know where I can get the updated "label task" documentation for
TFS 2008?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Matthew Hunter
