Azure deployment pipeline: add release version to configuration

We're building our first Azure-based web application using ASP.NET core 3.1 and Azure Devops plateform.

My boss asked me is it was possible to add the "release number" (his words) to the application itself.

I was thinking of writing the build ID in a configuration setting of the application and displaying that but I'm afraid I have no idea how to get that number and write it to the app setting from a release pipeline.

Would anyone have a suggestion?

Solution

  • Here you have list of predefined variables for release pipeline.

    You may use Release.ReleaseId or Release.ReleaseName. To put this value into app settings you may use replace token task.

    For default settings you need to put #{Release.ReleaseName#} as value of setting in your file.
