I'm trying to run this post build event in Visual Studio 2012 :
set n=$(ConfigurationName)
set n=%n:~0,7%
echo %n%
if "%n%" == "Release" copy "$(TargetPath)" "$(ProjectDir)..\..\DLLs\$(TargetFileName)"
And here is the output :
set n=RELEASE MYSERVER
set n=%n:~0,7%
echo %n%
if "%n%" == "Release" copy "C:\MyFolder\bin\RELEASE MYSERVER\MyDLL.dll" "C:\MyFolder\..\..\DLLs\MyDLL.dll"
RELEASE
As you can see, the "echo %n%" correctly output "RELEASE", but in the "if" statement, %n% is not evaluated.
Why this?
How can I do?
Thank you for your help.

I need to change the value of a parameter in a TOM. I am using Azure Devops with steps that include Tabular Editor CLI. I have written a one-line script that should be able to change the value of a Shared Expression. (Maybe a shared expression is read only?)
The script that will be executed
Model.Expressions["CustomerNameParameter"].Expression = "\"some value\" meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type=\"Text\", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]";
I returns an error whenever Azure Devops tries to run it:
It cannot find the CustomerNameParameter in the model.
My build looks like this:
Starting: Build Mode.bim from SourceDirectory

Your script looks good. Have you tried executing it within the Tabular Editor UI?
Perhaps the parameter is named differently in your model. You can use the following script in the CLI to output the list of parameters:
foreach(var expr in Model.Expressions) Info(expr.Name);
The result when executed in the CLI on the model shown in the screenshot above:
What I did to fix this is create a separate script (SharedExpressions.csx) and (manually) created this line for each expression:
Model.Expressions["Start Date - Sales"].Expression = "#datetime(2019, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type=\"DateTime\", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]";
In this case my Expressions are datetime, but you can change it to anything you like. Just be very aware with the quote placement.
Then in my pipeline I use the following script to execute the changes:
start /wait TabularEditor.exe "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Tabular Model/model/model.bim" -S "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Tabular Model/scripts/SharedExpressions.csx" -D -V
My tabular model uses a shared expression (parameter) to set the connection string. The following solution worked for me. I updated the command line script in the release pipeline as follows:
echo var connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SQLDWConnectionString"); >> SetConnectionStringFromEnv.cs
echo Model.Expressions["ServerName"].Expression = "\"" + connectionString +"\"" + " meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type=\"Text\", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]"; >> SetConnectionStringFromEnv.cs
TabularEditor.exe "_$(Build.DefinitionName)\drop\Model.bim" -S SetConnectionStringFromEnv.cs -D "%ASConnectionString%" "$(ASDatabaseName)" -O -C -P -R -M -W -E -V
i am wondering whether or not one can set a title or name for an execution element in a bitbucket pipeline:
pipelines:
default:
- step:
script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
- "Configure": ./configure
- "Build": make
- "Test": make test
- "Long Script": |
make whatever1
make whatever2
make whatever3
I'd expect the output to be:
Configure
Build
Test
Long Script
within the titles, and seeing the script only, if I unfolding the execution elements in the UI, just like with github:
Any ideas? :-)
The only one I found was to put everthing in bash scripts, but then I do not see the executed command, which I still want.
Thanks.
Any step of your pipeline can have its own name property, a good example can be found here.
In case you'd like to assign names to individual commands of your step's script, I reckon echo would be a good option:
echo "Test" && make test
I understand that to check for error level in Linux can be done by using $?. The thing is that the $? value is reset if one of the commands is successfully performed, even if the previous command failed. The code I use for testing as below:
cd /vobs/test2/test3
if [ $2 = "R" ]; then
mv missing ~/missing2
echo "Created"
Assuming that mv missing ~/missing2 failed the $? should be equal to 1 but due to the last command echo "Created" is performed the $? will be equal to 0. How to perform a scan for the code above so that the moment that $?=1 it will execute exit 1 command. I can perform if else for every command execute but it is not the best way to perform, is it? I need some advice on this, please.
You can exit on the first failing command using set -e. This is part of an unofficial "strict bash mode":
set -e
To exit on all errors.
set -o pipefail
To fail on the first issue in a pipeline rather than only last one.
set -u
To fail on access to undefined variables.
Visual Studio 2012 allows logging MSBuild's output to a file. But this file gets overwritten every time a new build is stated.
How to automatically backup old build logs, to troubleshoot a problematic build even if a new build has been triggered since?
Create a script to copy every build log under a new unique name. For instance, using a timestamp:
#Echo off
:: BackupVSLog.bat
:: Locale-independant date adapted from: http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-getdate.html
:: Check if WMIC is available
WMIC.EXE Alias /? >NUL 2>&1 || GOTO s_error_no_wmic

IF %1=="" GOTO s_error_no_dir
Set directory=%1

IF %2=="" GOTO s_error_no_proj
Set project=%2
:: Use WMIC to retrieve date and time

Set _mm=00%%J

SET _minute=00%%I
)

Set "dirnoquotes=%directory:"=%"
Set "projnoquotes=%project:"=%"
Echo Copying "%dirnoquotes%%projnoquotes%.log" to "%dirnoquotes%%projnoquotes%_%formatteddate%.log".

Check that build logging is enabled:
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Project Settings > Build logging > Yes
Chose the logging verbosity:
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run > MSBuild project build log verbosity
Add a Post-Build Event to the project properties for which build logs should be saved:
Project properties > Configuration Properties > Build Events > Post-Build Event
"C:\Path\To\BackupVSLog.bat" "$(IntermediateOutputPath)" "$(ProjectName)"
The problem
I have a batch file the is being called from a Pre-Build event.
When the solution is being built by Jenkins it fails.
When the solution is being built from MSBuild or visual studio in command line It works fine.
My question is, what could cause such a behaviour?
Details
In my solution (.Net 4.5 and C++ projects), I have a batch file that is called from one of the project's Pre-Build events.
It works fine, except when I am trying to build the solution via Jenkins (CI Server).
The error is :
The command ""C:\Jenkins\apps\jenkins\jenkins_home\jobs\Builld_SMW2\workspace\Autosync\CopySymAlignFiles.bat" "C:\Jenkins\apps\jenkins\jenkins_home\jobs\Builld_SMW2\workspace\" "C:\Jenkins\apps\jenkins\jenkins_home\jobs\Builld_SMW2\workspace\Autosync\" "Debug"" exited with code 1.
from the error report, I copied the command that was used for attempting to build the solution:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /p:Platform=x86 /p:configuration=Debug /t:Rebuild /verbosity:quiet /p:WarningLevel=0 /p:Platform=x86 /p:configuration=Debug /t:Rebuild /verbosity:quiet /p:WarningLevel=0 ..\SMW2_Analysis.sln
(I am aware that the arguments are being passed twice, I have no Idea why jenkins does that, but this is not the issue...)
If I run this command from command line, the batch file works fine once the build event is triggered.
The content of CopySymAlignFiles.bat is:
Echo off

Some additional Information:
I am running Jenkins as a service and I have the service logon as An Administrator.
Does Anyone have an Idea how can this happen?
At the end, it seems that the issue was that there was a duplicate workspace folder.
1 was updated, and the other 1 was built, resulting the tested workspace did not get latest updates.
according to this link this was due to the way jenkins behaves with multiple configurations.
