Is source indexing for Git builds possible in TFS 2013?

According to this post from January, source indexing was "not supported in TFS Builds running against Git source control". Have any of the updates made this possible yet?

Solution

  • [disclosure - I work on the new build system]

    git source indexing is available in the new 2015 build (note this is a completely new modern build system). It's in RC now and shipping soon.

    More information available here: http://aka.ms/vsopreview

    specifically: https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/vs/alm/Build/vs/define-build

    Note that if you create a VS definition from the template in the new build system, git source indexing step is there by default.

    It will embed a command line for 'tf git view' in the pdb. That command line is available in VS 2015 tf command line.

    The task script is open sourced here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/PublishSymbols/PublishSymbols.ps1
