Team Build – Custom build numbers
Hi,
Some of us would prefer to have build numbers that will NOT contain Date.
I discovered a great post regarding this issue by Scott Allen.
It shows how to create custom task to set an alternate build number, step by step.
But setting build number is not enough. Scott Allen shows us a simple way to manage the build version numbering: The custom task gets as a parameter a base build name and uses it to create a build version id : BaseBuildName.Counter . When activated, the task advances the counter by checking the build previous version.
