azp-task-bump
A command line utility for increasing by one the patch number
in manifest files of Azure DevOps (formerly known as Visual Studio Team System/VSTS
and Team Foundation Server/TFS) custom tasks.
Setup
Run the following from the command line:
npm i -g azp-task-bump
Usage
Run the following from the command line:
azp-task-bump c:\path-to-manifest\task.json
The one and only argument is optional. If omitted, the utility will look for task.json in the current
working directory. If provided, it should be either a path to a task.json file (absolute or relative), or
a path to a directory where task.json can be found. Wildcard paths are not supported.
On machines with case sensitive file systems, the file name task.json
is expected to be in lowercase. The encoding
of the manifest is expected to be UTF-8.
Once the utility locates the task manifest, it increases the value of the patch
under the version
object.
Like the manifest compiler in the tfx
utility, it treats the manifest JSON as case insensitive - the
casing of version
and patch
can be anything. The patch
is expected to be either a number, or a string with a decimal number in it. The datatype of patch
is preserved.
The rest of the manifest file is not touched.
Prior art
There are also NPM packages azp-bump
and gulp-azp-bump
that do the same. The former insists
on reformatting the JSON top to bottom, the latter requires gulp
.
