How to get TFS to build WSP with WSPBuilder

februari 11th, 2009

I usually use Subversion plus CruiseControl.NET and WSP Builder for automatic builds of WSP files for the Sharepoint DEV and TEST environments. Recently I have started a project for a customer that uses Team Foundation Server (TFS). Of course I wondered how to set up the same. Lo and behold it got twitted. So here is the link: http://blog.brianfarnhill.com/2008/12/30/how-to-get-tfs-to-automate-your-wsp-builds-with-wspbuilder/. Thanks @waldekm for bringing it to attention!

The thing that really shines for me is in step six: referencing if you have no MOSS installed on the build server. I have always used the first approach; dump the referenced dll in the GAC. I did not know about the possibilty of adding an extra reference path in the build project for TFS. Much more elegant than dumping it on the GAC.
