We'd like to generate build notes with the following format:
1) Associated ChangeSets:
2) - ChangeSet 45241, by Joe: "Patching fix for foobar"
3) 'Foo.cs' integrated from dev v. 22 to qa v. 7
4) 'Bar.cs' integrated from dev v. 9 to qa v. 3
So far, we have a custom build step that accomplishes 1) and 2). It looks at the information produced by the 'AssociatedChangesetsAndWorkItems' TFS Build Activity. Here is the code:
protected override bool Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
{
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Path.Combine(BuildNotesPath.Get(context),"build-notes.txt"));
sw.WriteLine("Associated ChangSets:");
foreach (Changeset changeset in BuildAssociatedChangesets.Get(context))
{
sw.WriteLine(string.Format("ChangeSet {0}, by {1}: {2}", changeset.ChangesetId, changeset.Committer, changeset.Comment));
foreach (Change change in changeset.Changes)
{
foreach (MergeSource source in change.MergeSources)
sw.WriteLine(string.Format("\'t{0}': integrated from dev v. {1} to qa v. {2}", source.ServerItem, source.VersionFrom, source.VersionTo));
}
}
sw.Flush();
sw.Dispose();
return true;
}
The problem we're having is that the 'MergeSources' field is always an empty list. What do we have to do to get that field populated?
