I need to get a list of changed files from chageset only and exclude all other junk.
I can get this information from the command tf changeset /i $(changesetnumber) but besides of List of files i have a lot of other information which I dont need for my purposes.
Or maybe someone can tell how to get this list of files from ccnet so I can send it to my msbuild.proj file via property.
You could use the TFS API to get the information you want. Here's some example C# code that will select the file names of all edited, added and deleted files
Uri serverUri = new Uri("http://mytfsserver:8080/");
TfsTeamProjectCollection tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(serverUri);
tpc.EnsureAuthenticated();
VersionControlServer vcs = tpc.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
var changeset = vcs.GetChangeset(changesetId);
var changedFiles = from change in changeset.Changes where
( (change.ChangeType & ChangeType.Edit) == ChangeType.Edit
|| (change.ChangeType & ChangeType.Add) == ChangeType.Add
|| (change.ChangeType & ChangeType.Delete) == ChangeType.Delete)
select change.Item.ServerItem;
I'm afraid I haven't used cc.net so can't advise on the best way to integrate this into ccnet, but you could compile it into a small utility or rewrite it in a scripting language (e.g. Powershell, IronPython)
You could use CCNET's Modification Writer Task. Put it to your CCNET configuration's <prebuild>
section and process the generated file in your <msbuild>
task:
<Project DefaultTargets="Go" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Target Name="Go">
<XmlPeek
XmlInputPath="$(CCNetArtifactDirectory)\modifications.xml"
Query="/ArrayOfModification/Modification">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" ItemName="Modifications" />
</XmlPeek>
<MSBuild
Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)"
Properties="Modification=%(Modifications.Identity)"
Targets="MessageModificationPath">
</MSBuild>
</Target>
<Target Name="MessageModificationPath">
<XmlPeek
XmlContent="$(Modification)"
Query="/Modification/FolderName/text()">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="FolderName" />
</XmlPeek>
<XmlPeek
XmlContent="$(Modification)"
Query="/Modification/FileName/text()">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="FileName" />
</XmlPeek>
<Message Text="$(FolderName)$(FileName)" />
</Target>
</Project>
Note: I'm not really experienced in MSBuild so any advice on how to parse the XML output in a more elegant way is highly appreciated.
Hint: <XmlPeek>
task requires .NET 4.0 MSBuild.
