Build

A build task creates a deployment package for your app. The following options are available:

• Proceed on Failure. If enabled, the pipeline will continue executing when this step fails.

• Which branch do you want to use? Specify the source branch for this pipeline. The choices are:

  • Mainline : When selected, the pipeline will automatically use the mainline of the app for the build.

  • Specific branch : When selected the user of the pipeline must select a specific branch to be used.

  • Branch name : When selected, provide the name of the branch to use. When the pipeline executes the system will try to find a branch with the name you provide.

• Which revision do you want to use? Specify the source revision for this pipeline. The choices are:

  • Latest : When selected, the pipeline will automatically use the latest revision of the source branch configured for the pipeline.

  • Specific revision : When this is selected the user of the pipeline must select a specific revision to be used each time the pipeline is run.

If you select a branch or revision in this task, these cannot be changed by the user of the pipeline when creating a new release. If you want the user to be able to select a specific branch or revision you must select 'specific branch' or 'specific revision'.
