Hi
I have a TFS repository and i want to exclude a file that must not trigger a build.
We use a FinalBuilder prject to do the build and within this project we update an assembly file with the new version number
This file get checked in after the build finish and therefore sometimes trigger a new build beacuse CI sees a new checkin.
in the documentation i see a screenshot in whcih one can enter files to exclude, but is do not see them in my TFS repository.
How can i exclude such files?

Hi Peter,
The field that you are looking for is Changeset Exclude Patterns on the Filtering tab of the Edit Repository dialog. This can be used to exclude changesets which only contain modifications to the files in the list.
The Edit Repository dialog layout has changed recently and we still need to update the documentation to reflect this.
Hi
I see why i did not saw the tabs. One need to check the ‘Checkout filers to workspace’ option to get the Filtering tab visible.
I had this unchecked because we only use the repositiry to trigger the build. A finalbuilder action then does the build, and update the assembly build number and checks in the file again.
I will have a look with this option enabled

Hi Peter,
That’s a bug. The Filtering tab should still show when the “Checkout files to workspace” option is unchecked. Only the Path Filtering show be hidden in the case. We’ll get that fixed up.
Aha ok.
Will wait for the update.
