How to update the version in azure devops pipeline

Question

I am having the below task in my azure pipeline

- task: UniversalPackages@0
  displayName: 'Publish to Azure Artifact feed'
  inputs:
    command: 'publish'
    publishDirectory: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/abc'
    feedsToUsePublish: 'internal'
    vstsFeedPublish: 'xyz'
    vstsFeedPackagePublish: 'bundle'
    versionOption: 'custom'
    **versionPublish: '1.0.0'**
    publishedPackageVar: 'ReleaseBundle#1'

my question is

when the pipeline is automatically triggered, how can I update the value of versionPublish so that the artifact is stored in the feed with a new version

Answer 1

According to the UniversalPackages@0 task documentation, versionOption is used to specify a version increment strategy.

Allowed values are the following:

• major (Next major): the first version will be 1.0.0
• minor (Next minor): the first version will be 0.1.0
• patch (Next patch): the first version will be 0.0.1
• custom: value to input your package version manually

Values will be incremented automatically when using versionOption: major, versionOption: minor or versionOption: patch.

You should only use versionOption: custom if you want to have full control over the way the version is generated, for example using the counter expression to construct an incremental version number.
