Question

I’m trying to set up Team Foundation Build and so far it’s running ok with builds, tests and code analysis.

My problem is, that I can’t figure out how to build just a subset of the projects included in the solution. I know how to use the configuration manager to create custom solution configuration that will build/deploy a selection of my projects. But when I create a new build definition, I only get the default “Debug” and “Release” configurations.

How do I set up a Team Foundation Build that only includes a selection of the projects in the solution?

I know I may be on the completely wrong track here, but I ve been digging around for a while and so far it s my best guess.

Answer 1

Your custom configurations won t appear in the build definition wizard because we don t parse the solution file format. You can, however, just type it in and that will work just fine without manually editing the TFSBuild.proj file.

Answer 2

You will need to edit the TFSBuild.proj file generated by Build Definition created.

I have never used it to specify other configuration, but try using ConfigurationToBuild:

<ItemGroup>    
   <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|Any CPU">
      <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild>      
      <PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild>
   </ConfigurationToBuild>
</ItemGroup>

Answer 3

I think, you already answer your question: put the subset of the projects into the new solution and create new build definition for this solution.

What other configuration would you expect then Release and Debug?
