You will also need to specify a drop folder, where your binaries are going to be delivered upon the build: You’ll need to specify a build controller (you should have one here since we created one in the previous article). You can choose to specify a specific TFS project if you don’t want to include all. In my case I’ll leave the Source Control Folder as the default root as seen below. In my case I want to enable CI (Continous Integration) for my project: This will give you the following new dialog where you can specify details for your build: Start by navigating to your Team Explorer and right-click on Builds and then click the " New Build Definition…": Now its time to create our first build definition so we can automate the builds and deployments.
Make sure that the project is connected to your TFS server, check in the source and we can get started: Create a new build definitionĪt this point (if you’ve followed the articles in this article series) you should have a TFS server, a connection from Team Explorer to your TFS server and also a new project hooked up in your repository. We’ll start from the beginning and create a new Visual Studio 2010 project (in my case it’ll be an Empty SharePoint Project), and remember to tick the Checkbox " Add to source control": Create a new project (or connect an existing one) and connect to TFS
Your build server is configured, your code is hosted in TFS and all you’ll need to do is connect your project to the actual TFS and then create a new build definition. The steps from this point onwards are basically the same as if it would be an on-premise TFS server in your own domain. Now we’ll take a look at how we can get our projects hooking up in a CI/Automated Build scenario with Team Foundation Services. This article obviously assumes that you’ve already followed along with the previous articles and hooked up a build configuration for your TFSpreview account. Steps to hook up a project to your new build server
