Build Variables are automatically passed to all the PowerShell scripts as environment variables.
So if you have defined a variable myVar
in the Variables
section. You can access it as $env:myVar
in your script. One thing to note here is that .
is converted to a _
. For eg. if your variable is myVar.config
, you will access it in your script as $env:myVar_config
.
The available variables also include variables such as branch name, build number etc. To see all the available variables, run a dummy build/release definition and add a PowerShell task with inline type and run Get-ChildItem Env:
. This will show you all the available environment variables and you can see all your custom defined variables.
