How to commit build version to TFS
Answered
I am currently trying to setup TeamCity on our server to replace our old CCNET setup.
I am using "File content replacer" to update the build number and it works fine.
My issue is that I need to commit those change into TFS.
Is there any way to easily achieve that behavior, it seems that "File content replacer" cannot handle it?
Thanks,

Hello Eric,
Yes indeed, the File content replacer would not check-in the changes; however, you could do so via a custom command line script, for example:
Would this approach work for you?
OK,
Thanks I will try.

Hello,
It took me a while but I was able to commit the changes, unfortunately the build fails as teamcity wants to revert the file...

Could it be because the file is in read only state ?
Hello Eric,
Please accept my apologies for the delayed response here.
It appears the issue happens because File content replacer will try to revert the changes done before publishing artifacts stage. If the file is read-only, yes, it could fail the build trying to do so.
Would it maybe be feasible for you to amend the VersionInfo.cs with a command-line script instead of File content replacer?
Yes I think it might be easier, would be nice to have an option in the File content replacer to commit the changes in the future.
Hello Eric,
While committing the changes is a separate logic, I agree that at least having option to not revert the changes in the build feature configuration would be useful. There is a related request regarding this matter: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-43173, and I have just added an internal reference on this thread there. Please feel free to vote/comment on the link above as you see fit.
Thanks a lot for your time :)
