Visual Studio Team System Trigger

Top  Previous  Next

The Visual Studio Team System Trigger allows you to monitor a Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server source control repository for changes, and trigger builds whenever new changes are checked in.

 

General information on creating triggers can be found under the Triggers Reference topic.

 

The Team System Trigger supports the following options:

 

 

VersionControl_TeamSystem_Project

 

Specify the Team Foundation Server to monitor, and the project path to monitor. You can obtain the Location Path by looking at the status bar in Visual Studio Source Explorer.

 

Both of these parameters are required.

 

 

VersionControl_TeamSystem_Credentials

 

Specify the username and password for the Team Foundation connection. These parameters are required.

 

Changes to the password will not be saved unless the "Update password" checkbox is checked.

 

 

 

VersionControl_TeamSystem_Options

 

Enable "Recursively monitor child directories" to monitor project directories underneath the target path.

 

 

Enable "Get Latest" when triggering to get the latest version of the source to the working directory of a specified Workspace. You will need to specify the name of a Workspace.

 

You do not need to specify a Workspace name if you are not using "Get Latest."

 

Note that if you want to create a temporary Workspace for the build, get the source to the new Workspace, and then remove the workspace, then you can do so from inside the FinalBuilder project, by using the Team Foundation Create/Delete Workspace actions and the Team Foundation Get action.
