Continua CI Discussion

Hi

I’ve one build script which requires some complex logic to decide what projects to be build. For this i’d like to create a C# Console Application which resolves the full path of the solution.

How could I manage to get this string value into a Continua Varibale ? Is there something i could pass to the console application which would sotre the value  and make it accessible for my buildscript?

Hi Haggy,

Yes, you can use custom log messages. Write text with the following format to the console stdout.

@@continua[setVariable name=‘solutionPath’ value=‘d:\pathToMySolution’ skipIfNotDefined=‘true’ ]
 
The variable needs to be defined in the configuration first for this to work.
