How to build a non active branch with a build definition?

My project : One dev branch, multiple version branch.

I have : One build definition to build the main branch with test and one for create the production without test.

What I tried to do : I cloned my second Build definition, renamed it, changed the sln path on the process property and executed it manually to build a production version. The branch was created after passing all the test on the main (dev) branch

What's the result : "Exception Message: There is no working folder mapping for $/autocompletion/path_to/non_dev_branche/project.sln. (type ItemNotMappedException)"

I searched how to make the branch as a working folder (and if it's possible) without any result. The path was created by VS 2012, I just selected the file.

Solution

  • You have to update the build definition's workspace mappings. It should be on the tab named Parametres de la source. If it's not there, it'll be on one of the other tabs.
