    HOWTO: Get MSBuild/CI to update the client dependency framework

    I thought this would be useful to document but I don't have the time to blog it. If you're looking to update the client dependency framework, presumably using CI such as Jenkins or TeamCity then you can do the following:

    <Project>
    <!--The rest of the xml-->
      <Target Name="UpdateClientDependencyFrameworkVersion" AfterTargets="CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForMsdeploy">
        <PropertyGroup>
          <VersionXPath>/clientDependency/@version</VersionXPath>
          <!-- You can test by setting a value here -->
          <!--<CdfVersion>2</CdfVersion>-->
        </PropertyGroup>
        <ItemGroup>
          <CdfConfigFiles Include="Config\ClientDependency.config" />
        </ItemGroup>
        <Message Text="Updating client dependency framework to version $(CdfVersion)" Importance="high" />
        <XmlPoke  XmlInputPath="@(CdfConfigFiles ->'$(WPPAllFilesInSingleFolder)\%(RelativeDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')"
                Query="$(VersionXPath)"
                Value="$(CdfVersion)"/>
      </Target>
    </Project>
    

    This build task will insert in to /Config/ClientDependency.config a new version, which equals the same as the custom build property CdfVersion.

    Using your CI server you'll need to provide that value. In TeamCity you can use %build.counter%, and I'm sure a similar number exists in other systems.

    Also FYI: For config transforms of everything in the config folder checkout this topic.

    The question provides the solution.

    That could be useful indeed! Which CI are you using ?

    TeamCity v7 with MSDeploy currently. Quite like it but badly needs upgrading (not my call) and using Octopus deploy rather than MSDeploy.
