Update AssemblyInfo const variable

Question

I have a single file where I specify my version:

I try to update it with the 'Update AssemblyInfo' task on build pipeline:

when executing the task do logs the update:

Searching for files...


============================================================

D:\BuildAgent01\_work\21\s\AutomationGeneral\Properties\SharedAssemblyInfo.cs

Updating attributes
-------------------
Skipped 'AssemblyProduct' (no value defined)
Updating 'AssemblyVersion'...
Updating 'AssemblyFileVersion'...
Updating 'AssemblyInformationalVersion'...
Saving changes...

But the content of the file is not updated: it stills remains:

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(SolutionItem.Version)]

Do I need to remove the const string and put the string content inside of the parameter of the method?

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.1.1.1")]

so the replacement will be really done?

is not the Task messing here? or is it me?

please never add images of your code, add the code in reproducible way in textual form (paste and use formatting). — Ruli, Nov 20 '20 at 09:55

yes it seems that once there is no more variable inside the parenthesis it works: it manages to update only if there is string content in the parenthesis.

and when it succeeds it prints the version number too:

Configuration: 

Version: 1.20.1120.05

File version: 1.20.1120.05

InformationalVersion: 1.20.1120.05
