如何在TFS 2017 Build之后通过TFS Build Job中的Shell脚本自动递增asp.net核心应用程序版本并将其显示在index.html页脚中

Question

i'm using TFS 2017 for CI, Version defined in csproj file as below should be auto-incremented after every TFS build,

<PropertyGroup>
    <Major Condition=" '$(Major)' == '' ">1</Major>
    <Minor Condition=" '$(Minor)' == '' ">0</Minor>
    <Patch Condition=" '$(Patch)' == '' ">0</Patch>
    <VersionPrefix>$(Major).$(Minor).$(Patch)</VersionPrefix>
</PropertyGroup>

I added Major, Minor and Patch varibles on TFS Job, my question is how to increment these variables in TFS BUILD.

Answer 1

I solve the problem by using Bump to increment version in package.json file,

var gulp = require('gulp');
var bump = require('gulp-bump');

// Basic usage:
// Will patch the version
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src('./component.json')
  .pipe(bump())
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

// Defined method of updating:
// Semantic
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src('./*.json')
  .pipe(bump({type:'minor'}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

// Defined method of updating:
// Semantic major
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src('./package.yml')
  .pipe(bump({type:'major'}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

// Defined method of updating:
// Set a specific version
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src('./*.json')
  .pipe(bump({version: '1.2.3'}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

// Update bower, component, npm at once:
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src(['./bower.json', './component.json', './package.json'])
  .pipe(bump({type:'major'}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

// Define the key for versioning off
gulp.task('bump', function(){
  gulp.src('./package.json')
  .pipe(bump({key: "appversion"}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
}); 

icreated 3 Jobs in TSF, evry job is responsable for incrementing one of Major, Minor and Patch, so while commiting developer will choose to excute one of these jobs, wich will excute the concrete gulp Task.

If your code is stored in TFS server there is one way to update your project. I recommend update your project to .net core 2 downloading dependencies of version. Then update your project file. here is good article of updating your version.

You can try to set the build number format as $(Major).$(Minor)-rev$(Rev:.rr) , then update the application version with the variable $(Build.BuildNumber)

What is $(Rev:.rr)?

To ensure that every completed build has a unique name. When a build is completed, if nothing else in the build number has changed, the Rev integer value is incremented by one.

You can use the .NET Core CLI tool to update the version information in .NET Core *.csproj files.
