How to trigger VSTS build and release when pushing tags?
When commit with tag pushed to master
branch, build will be triggered for twice (on master branch and the tag) separately, you need to specify the Production Environment triggered after release not after Staging Environment.
And the build and release definitions settings as below:
Build definition:
In Triggers Tab -> set branch filter to include master
and refs/tags/v*
->Save.
Release definition:
Specify Artifact filter to include master
branch for Staging Environment -> select After release for Production Environment trigger -> specify Artifact filter to include refs/tags/v*
for Production Environment -> Save.
If only commits are pushed to master
branch -> a build is triggered for master
branch -> a new release is created -> only deploy Staging Environment.
If both commits and tags are pushed to master
branch -> two builds are triggered (one for master
branch, the other for refs/tags/v*
) -> two releases are created:
For the release linked with build artifacts on
master
branch -> only Staging Environment is deployed;For the release linked with build artifacts on
refs/tags/v*
-> only Product Environment is deployed.
