如何通过标签在TFS 2010中进行自动构建

Question

I have my automated builds working but I want to be able to go back to a specifc labeled version and build from that source. The build definition under "Process" has the item "Get Version" but this is for a specific changeset which seems fairly useless. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about doing this?

Answer 1

The Get Version accepts what TFS calls an versionspec which can be either a changeset or a label. To specify a label just prefix it with an L.

LMyLabel

Answer 2

@Dylan Smith: Is right. You can specify in the advanced Get Version parameter the label by: LmyLabel or CmyChangeset in order to queue a specific version. There are other options like date, "W" (Version last fetched to your workspace), or "T" (latest version) as well.

Answer 3

During your build process, label the code (In my case I use the build number as part of the label).

Then when you want to build a specific labeled version, pass the label to the build script, get the code from the library by label, build the code, and deploy.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fx7sdeyf.aspx for how to get a labeled version.
