Is it possible to Rename or give a custom name to a Build in VSTS?
You can update the build number for current build through Logging Command (e.g. Write-Host "##vso[build.updatebuildnumber]buildnumber").
Simple workflow of your code:
- Include
$(rev:.r)in default build number format (Options), for example:$(date:yyyyMMdd)-$(rev:.r) - Get current build number from pre-defined variable (
Build.BuildNumber/BUILD_BUILDNUMBER) - Get the rev value from this build number in your code
- Read version number from
.versionfile - Update build number through Logging Command
Under your build definition you can customize the build name (Build number format):
For example, I added the date variable $(Date:dd.MM.yyyy) with a specific format to the field Build number format:
