I want MSBUILD show a POPup to enter password during/before execution of build definition.I want to pass this password to powershell script I will be running as part of MSBuild definition. I already implemented a scenario where password is encrypted in a file checked-in on TFS and is read by powershell(MSBUILD) while executing a build definition.But for security purposes I want password to be entered by a build definition invoker during runtime .

Can we achieve this ?

I am using TFS 2013,MSBUILD 12.0 and VS 2013 for this purpose.And can use only these tools and nothing else.

  • You cannot get any "prompt" in the build process neither in xaml or powershell. The build server is running as a service. But like Martin suggested below, you can modify you xaml or pass a parameter to your pre-build script to pass in the info you need. – Etienne Feb 24 '15 at 15:12

You can customise the xaml file to take a password as part of queuing the build from VS or Web Access.

You can add a custom property and pass it in...
