TFS ISubscriber plugin, how do I access the files checked in?

Question

I am writing a plugin for TFS that performs automatic branching and merging based on an xml file stored in source. I am able to perform this on the server except I am unable to get the latest of the xml file if it was changed.

public EventNotificationStatus ProcessEvent(TeamFoundationRequestContext requestContext, NotificationType notificationType, object notificationEventArgs, out int statusCode, out string statusMessage, out ExceptionPropertyCollection properties)
{
  TeamFoundationVersionControlService versionControl = requestContext.GetService<TeamFoundationVersionControlService>();

  string localTempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();          
  versionControl.DownloadFile(requestContext, serverItemPath, 0, VersionSpec.Parse("C" + versionControl.GetLatestChangeset(requestContext).ToString(), null).First(), localTempFile);

  return EventNotificationStatus.ActionApproved
}

The issue is that because I want to intercept the checkin before it becomes a changeset, the download file function gets me the version of the latest checkin, not the version that was promoted. Does anyone know how to get the version being checked in?

Answer 1

您应该尝试CheckinEvent类的工件字段。

CheckinEvent ev = notificationEventArgs as CheckinEvent;

Answer 2

I would take a different route: use a CI build that monitors just that file. It is way more robust and manageable than a server plug-in.
