Gitversion: Wrong variable names in documentation

Created on 6 Jul 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: GitTools/GitVersion

The description in the Visual Studio Marketplace suggests using variables formatted as $(GitVersion_NuGetVersion) and $(GitVersion_SemVer). However, when using VSTS, one should format the variables as $(GitVersion.NuGetVersion) and $(GitVersion.SemVer) (period instead of an underscore). I'm not sure where the text is hosted, so I can't make a PR to fix that.

Marketplace is still version 3.6.5. This was already fixed in https://github.com/GitTools/GitVersion/commit/d9248c35284fd0b3afc443262aca5ea2369f0bce but there was no new version released since then to the marketplace. This will be updated once 4.0 is published to the marketplace.

Perhaps @pascalberger has an idea where this text is entered? Manually by someone with admin access to the Marketplace, I presume?

No this is the overview.md file. Which also has issues with images not being rendered correctly I just saw.

Hm, that file definitely looks similar to the description in the Marketplace, but the variables are correct in the file, while appearing incorrect in the Marketplace. If the Marketplace is pulling it automatically from the overview file, any chance it undergoes some pre-processing (to avoid XSS and such), which generates a wrong output?
