  Hey Tod, Sorry about the confusion, the error was indeed different. I think we got a bit cross eyed while trying to figure all this out. The setup that we had to use in the end was rather awkward. Buildmaster seems to add quotations around the arguments section. We had the following setup: Command: delete http://<path_to_repo> Argument: -m "ReExecution by Buildmaster" When looking at the logs, it was converting that to: delete http://<path_to_repo> " -m "ReExecution by Buildmaster"" --non-inteactive etc... Notice the double quotations. So we ended up having to jimmy it a bit and it is now working with: Command: delete http://<path_to_repo> -m Argument: ReExecution by Buildmaster So I guess we can scratch this one of the list. Hopefully can present to the boss soon and get some budget for this.

  Unlike most BuildMaster custom editors, the VariableSetters do not have a Context object; we'll consider adding this in future SDK versions. In the meantime, you'll have to "hack" it by looking at the HttpContext.Current.Request.Querystring for the release number, or perhaps locating the Release Number control on the page.

  Thanks for your reply, advice and for pointing us in the right direction. I think we need to rethink our web.config procedures.

  At the moment, build and promotion-level variables cannot be modified by an action during an execution. This is mainly because of the way default values are cascaded and inherited. We've talked about adding another variable scope (execution) that then is created and persisted only at execution time, which would then allow for this - but at the moment build/promotion variables are immutable once the build is created. You should still however be able to add variables during execution time - they just won't appear in the build summary. In a quick test I ran setting a variable that wasn't specified as a build variable worked later on in the execution with the code you have written, so I couldn't repro part 2. Make sure both the BuildMaster service and web app are restarted whenever the extension changes, otherwise changes might not actually be loaded by the extension loader.

  Hi Andrew, We don't do anything special, just standard Process.Start stuff. I believe Processes inherit environments from the parent process, so perhaps you need to stop/start the service, so it can capture new machine variables? FYI - we do have an option (AddBuildMasterVariablesAsEnvironmentVariables) on CommandLineActionBase, but this is not exposed as a checkbox in the Command Line Action. We will likely add that as a checkbox in the future. Alex

  Issue tracking would require a custom extension. It's a pretty simple web api, and if you'd be interested at taking a crack at it, we could help you build the extension (and support it going forward).

  That half worked, the environment variable has been set (I can log on to the server and echo the value) but if I try to use the environment variable from a script called by buildmaster then the no value is returned. Why can't I use this value from a script called by buildmaster?

  Pulling in a variable value from an external source would require a custom action using the BuildMaster SDK. These are relatively easy to write, but we can of course help with that through professional services (http://inedo.com/company/professional-services). In the action's overridden Execute() method, all you'd need to do is: this.Context.Variables["VERSION_NUMBER"] = GetVariableValue(); where GetVariableValue() is a method you create to pull the value from whatever source you want (could be from Artifactory, or something like File.ReadAllText())

  Variables have been expanded quite a bit in BuildMaster 3.6... so this might be accomplished through a Promotion, Environment,etc. variable

  The logging isn't disabled; build execution log entries with a debug level are simply not displayed to users who don't have that privilege. By default the "View Only" role does not include the ability to view execution log entries. We have a few tutorials for making a custom action here: http://inedo.com/support/tutorials Alternatively you could store the password on the machine as an environment variable, and have the shell script retrieve it that way.

  Thanks for the info. In regard to switching the exe.. should I be able to save the change from using the built in exe to a standard one without hitting the "Test Connection" button? When I try switching to an external git.exe and click the "Save" button, I can open the provider properties back up and the "Use Standard Git Client" option is unchecked again. Any other changes I make seem to save, just not changes to that option. The same thing happens when I create a totally new provider / source as well. I set it up to "Use Standard Git Client" and hit save then open the new connection up and it shows as unselected.

  You can use your account credentials for testing purposes; but for long term-usage, an systems administrator should set up a service account for BuildMaster and its agents to use. To change service credentials, go to "View Local Services" and then edit the BuildMaster Service. You can just set it to your account. If using IIS, go to App Pools, BuildMaster App Pool, Advanced settings, and change Application Pool Identity to your account.
