The FlexDeploy TFVC plugin makes it easy to interact with source code stored in Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control SCM. There is no need to install TFS or a TFVC client. The plugin uses a Java based API to interact with Team Foundation Version Control. FlexDeploy allows users to configure TFVC repository connection details to be shared by various projects and other configurations at the project level. This allows for easy get
and label
operations during a build workflow execution.
FlexDeploy supports creation of SCM instances and the following properties must be configured for each TFVC Instance. These properties are available to all operations.
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
TFVC URL | FDTFVC_URL | Yes | Team Foundation Server collection URL. |
TFVC User | FDTFVC_USER | Yes | The user name for connecting to TFS/TFVC. User name does not need to be domain qualified. |
TFVC Password | FDTFVC_PASSWORD | Yes | The password for the FDTFVC_USER . |
If you are connecting to a Visual Studio Online repository, you will be required to use a personal access token instead of a password to connect your account to FlexDeploy. To create a personal access token, follow these simple steps.
