To configure a Visual Studio task:
- Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
- Select the name of the desired MSBuild task, or select Add task > Visual Studio if creating a new task.
Complete the following settings:
Task description
A description of the task, which is displayed in Bamboo.Disable this task
Check, or clear, to selectively run this task.
Add condition to task
Make task run only when a certain condition is met.
You can find conditions on Atlassian Marketplace or implement your own.
ExecutableThe Visual Studio executable that is available to perform the task. The executable that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
You can add other executables, if required.
Solution
The name of the Visual Studio solution file that you want Bamboo to execute. For example:RegexDemo/RegexDemo.sln
Options
Specify any Visual Studio command-line options that you want to include (e.g./build Debug). You can also include variables (see Bamboo variables).
Platform
Select the platform toolset required to compile your solution. This is provided as an argument toVcvarsall.bat(see this MSDN article for more details).If required, specify environment variables and working directory settings:
Environment variables (Optional)
Additional system environment variables that you want to pass to your build. Note that existing environment variables are automatically available to the executable. You can also include Bamboo global or build-specific variables (see Bamboo variables).
Multiple variables should be separated with spaces. Parameters with spaces must be quoted (e.g ANT_OPTS="-Xms200m -Xmx700m").Working subdirectory (Optional)
An alternative subdirectory, relative to the job's root directory, where Bamboo will run the executable. The root directory contains everything checked out from the job's configured source repository. If you leave this field blank, Bamboo will look for build files in the root directory. This option is useful if your task has a build script in a subdirectory and the executable needs to be run from within that subdirectory.
Run as Powershell script (Optional, Windows only)
Check the Run as Powershell script checkbox to run the script with Powershell instead of cmd.exe which interprets .bat files. The inline editor supports Powershell syntax.- Select Save.
