I use INI files on the agent machine to make certain builds. If I want to make a special build, I have to create a file and put it on the agent.
Is it possible to just upload a text file to CI and have it use that instead?
Hi Mike,
Generally, we would advise adding your ini files to a repository and associating that with your configuration. You can then access the file in your build as $Source.RepoName$\filename.ini. You could also use the Copy Action to copy files from an external path to the workspace folder e.g \PC1\Share\filename.ini -> $Workspace$ . Alternatively, you can run FinalBuilder from Continua CI - this has several actions for copying files from different locations.
If you only want to use the ini file with specific builds, then we would either store the file in a special repository branch and select the branch in the Queue Options dialog when starting the build, or use a variable with If and Else actions to control when a Copy action is run.
