Hey everyone,<\/p>\n
I was recently working on my build & release flows for my project at work, trying to optimise it as much as possible.
\nI had the requirement that I only wanted 1 build definition, and 1 release definition per component.
\nThe project consisted out of several components (e.g. an API, angularjs front-end, …) and I only wanted to release components which had changed.<\/p>\n
I put together a powershell script which, when called as follows <\/p>\n
.\\TagBuild.ps1 -Tag Api -PathFilters sources\/My.WebApi,sources\/My.DAL,sources\/My.Common<\/code><\/pre>\n would tag my VSTS build with the tag Api<\/strong> when any files were changed in the paths sources\/My.WebApi\/*, sources\/My.DAL\/* or sources\/My.Common\/<\/strong>*<\/p>\nThen I could update my release definition for my API to only trigger an automated release if the build was tagged with Api<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The script:<\/p>\n
