We using tfs build to perform a daily build.
The following tasks are performed in the build:
- Run all tests
- Update assembly info
The solution contains the following elements:
- Web services
- Client application
- three windows services
So the solution contains 5 applications. What I was looking for is a way to use the tfsbuild to perform a build and as output to spit the binaries to seperated directories. That helps a lot with deployment.
The core of the problem is that i want to have a single build type in tfs with multiple solutions and multiple output directories. A feature that tfsbuild not support.
And finally I found a post that solves this problem.
Manish Agarwal write a post: Redirecting the copy of output assemblies for individual solutions to specified subfolders at drop site in Team Build.
I implemented it in my build and it solves my problem...
