Hi Steve, I didn't see anyone get back to you on this?
Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you put the ItemGroup in a different file and then import it? But you mention already using multiple xml files, so presumably you're already using import statements? Why is this ItemGroup case different?

I have multiple build def tfsbuild.proj files for many environments. I have separate .xml files that comprise common targets for these build files. This stuff basically works fine. Clunky but fine. ☺ For unit tests, I do things like this in each build def: <ItemGroup> <TestContainer Include="$(OutDir)TestSuites.Test%2a.Pro.dll"/> <TestContainer Include="$(OutDir)ReportSanityTest.webtest" /> </ItemGroup> This gives some flexibility in cherry-picking the types of tests that run for each build definition (eg long running tests fit certain filename patterns, a group of functionality has a certain kind of pattern, etc). I would like to make the ItemGroup bits into separate files as well, but am not sure how. How can I externalize <ItemGroup>? Thanks. _______________________________________________ oztfs mailing list [email protected] http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/oztfs _______________________________________________ oztfs mailing list [email protected] http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/oztfs
