During Azure build, want to get the revision number generated by azure pipeline to update the FileVersion of my projects

Question

My Fileversion update script in AssemblyInfo.tt file is in below format.

"[assembly: AssemblyVersion("<#= this.MajorVersion #>.<#= this.MinorVersion #>.<#=DateTime.Now.Year%100#><#=DateTime.Now.DayOfYear/7+1#><#=(int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek#>.?")]"

In the place specified as "?", I want to get the rev:.r number generated by Azure Build. Or "?" should get auto-incremented for every Azure build of a day.

What is the better method I can follow to archive it.

Answer 1

You can add a PowerShell script that does it:

$buildNumber = $env:Build_BuildNumber
$split = $buildNumber.Split('.')
$revision = $split[$split.Count - 1]
$assemblyFile = path/to/assembly/file # e.g. $(build.sourcesdirectory)/project/assmeblyinfo.cs
((Get-Content -path $assemblyFile -Raw) -replace "#>.?" , "#>.$($revision)") | Set-Content -Path $assemblyFile
