    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy
    We use the TFS Alerts system to signal to our teams what state project build are at. So when a developer changes a build quality to ‘ready for test’ an email is sent to everyone in the team and we make sure the build retention policy is set to keep. Now this is not the standard behaviour of the TFS build alerts system, …

    I was at Jodrell Bank to see Sigur Ros last Friday. I could have really done with the low light features of Nokia 925 as opposed to my 820. The shots I took of the projected light show onto the radio telescope disk were not as good as I hoped.

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy
    I have been using a Nokia 800 (Windows Phone 7.8) for a year or so and been happy with it. It does what I needed i.e. phone, email, media player mainly for podcasts. So given all the  reported issues with WP8 and podcasts (no Zune client to manage the subscription/sync and you can only subscribe through the store if …

  • Why is my TFS Lab build picking a really old build to deploy?

    author Richard Fennell calendar Aug 1, 2013 · 1 min read · Uncategorised  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy
    I was working on a TFS lab deployment today and to speed up testing I set it to pick the build of the TFS build that actually builds the code, as opposed to queuing a new one each time. It took me ages to remember/realise why it kept trying to deploy some ancient build that had long since been deleted from my test …

  • Making the drops location for a TFS build match the assembly version number

    author Richard Fennell calendar Jul 27, 2013 · 4 min read · Uncategorised  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy
    A couple of years ago I wrote about using the TFSVersion build activity to try to sync the assembly and build number. I did not want to see build names/drop location in the format 'BuildCustomisation_20110927.17’, I wanted to see the version number in the build something like  'BuildCustomisation 4.5.269.17'. The …

  • I can never remember the command line to add use to the TFS Service Accounts group

    author Richard Fennell calendar Jul 26, 2013 · 2 min read · Uncategorised  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy
    I keep forgetting when you use TFS Integration Platform that the user who the tool (or service account is running as a service) is running as has to be in the “Team Foundation Service Accounts” group on the TFS servers involved. If they are not you get a runtime conflict something like …
