Tokenizer: Predefined variables about extension-utilitiespack HOT 3 CLOSED

Any update on this? I am also looking to replace using pre-defined variables instead of having to define values in the Configuration Json.

from extension-utilitiespack.

Try replacing the underscores inside the variable name with periods.

    <add key="BuildDefinition" value="__Build.DefinitionName__"/>
    <add key="FinishTime" value="__Build.BuildNumber__"/>

This is how we use it, and it works fine.

Sorry for the delay.

That did the trick! I still haven’t found documentation that clearly highlights this exact format, so thank you @devingoble for taking your time to help.

It seems the “Azure App Service Deploy” v3 task has similar functionality that I may explore. It would be nice to see a build only task, like this extension, that is baked in to VSTS. Extensions require a VSTS admin to install and getting approval slowdowns the process of creating a build definition in a new VSTS environment.
