I have few scripts example (xcode.sh) which is in the mac agent. I would like to execute the script with 2 input Arguments. The user does not know the path to this script. How can i achieve this from VSTS Task
Say the script has to be executed like \usr\local\xcode "aaa" "bbb"
In Bamboo i do this with Executable and choose the executable in the Task
There is a Shell Script task that can specify Script path.
If the script file is in the current repository of build (Get source), you can click … button to select file, otherwise you need to specify the path manually.
Regarding arguments, you can specify it in Argument input box.
Update:
You can custom build task to define an input with picklist type, simple sample:
"inputs": [
{
"name": "ConnectedServiceName",
"type": "connectedService:AzureRM",
"label": "Azure subscription",
"defaultValue": "",
"required": true,
"helpMarkDown": "Select the Azure Resource Manager subscription"
},
{
"name": "Action",
"type": "pickList",
"label": "Action",
"required": false,
"helpMarkDown": "Action to be performed on the App Service. You can Start, Stop, Restart, Slot swap or Install site extensions for an Azure App Service",
"defaultValue": "Swap Slots",
"options": {
"Swap Slots": "Swap Slots",
"Start Azure App Service": "Start App Service",
"Stop Azure App Service": "Stop App Service",
"Restart Azure App Service": "Restart App Service",
"Install Extensions": "Install Extensions"
}
}
}
Regarding custom build task, you can refer to Add a build task
You can retrieve the data from server (e.g. web api) and populate to that input box.
Some threads to bind source.
