In my senario, I would like to make some final changes in the build process. I have written a powershell script that can increase the revision-version of the assemblyinfo, and also download and update dependencies from the dropzone. (Running local agent, not hosted). When I start a build, the first thing that happens, is that the Agent runs a (hidden) task before everything else, where it gets the source. 'Getting source'. I have a workspace on the local-buildserver, where I am changing the assemblyinfo and updating the dependencies there, and afterwards checking-in the changes. But these changes are not applied to the build (before next build), since the source is already downloaded to the build-agents workarea.

(first thing by the agent). Is there somehow I can trigger the event of getting the source (again)? Or would it be possible to merge the (hidden) 'Getting source'-task to the build-task or maybe postpone it to run after my script? I hope you understand my question.

Execute Batch File After Tfs Build Agent When you are done, log off as the Jenkins user. Jenkins, GIT plugin and Windows. Installing the plugin itself works like a.

(Keep up the good work!). If i understand the scenario correctly, the second build is already queued (same definition, same agent) before the first build finishes. If that's the case, then the problem is that the second build has been queued against a particular changeset. If you want to really get latest at the point in time when the build runs (not when it was queued), you could run a batch script as the first step of your build.

Execute Batch File Remotely

CD /d '%BuildSourcesDirectory%' 'C: Program Files (x86) Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 Common7 IDE TF.exe' get. /r Does that workaround your issue? I think I have explain my problem better like this. I have in one build definition two tasks. Powershell script task - To update version and dependencies.

Visual studio build task - To build the solution. But when I queue the build, it turns into three tasks. Getting Source (TfvcSourceProvider.PrepareRepositoryAsync). Powershell script task (Check out, changes, checkin in another workspace). Visual studio build task.

Tfs Build Agent Install

The step 'Getting Source'-task, is run before everything else. So if I make checkins in step, these are not included in the source that step is building. I hope this explains it a little better.:) Can I maybe (somehow) -reinvoke that?
