How to customize the drop location in team build?
For eaxmple in your tfsbuild.proj, the value of DropLocation is \\machine\drop1 and you want to change it to \\machine\drop2.
- Edit your build type definition (tfsbuild.proj) file and overload the BeforeEndToEndIteration
<
Target Name="BeforeEndToEndIteration">
<
CreateProperty Value="$(CustomDropLocation)" >
<
Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DropLocation"/>
</
CreateProperty>
</
Target>
- Edit the tfsbuild.rsp file to pass the custom value of drop location.
Add the following line to tfsbuild.rsp. This along with changes in step (1) will reset your DropLocation.
/p:CustomDropLocation=\\machine\drops2
