Is this workflow supported? #12

Closed patdelaney closed 1 year ago

Is this workflow possible with this tool.

I have a release base on a build. For this example I have 3 environments. Development, UAT, and Production. After a successful deploy to UAT, (the 1nd environment) I want to run a PowerShell task that creates a ServiceNow Change request ticket via REST API. When I submit the request ServiceNow returns a JSON that I can extract the CR Number. At the end of the script I try to store the CR as a variable

Save the CR# as a variable

$crnumber = $response.result.number Write-Output "CR#= " $crnumber

After that step I am running the Save Build Variables

My question is do I need to define the $crnumber in the save task?

variable

You need to save your number as a build variable. Then add the prefix that you chose for it to the config. It will save all variables with that prefix.

But the CR is not created during the build its created during a release task. How would I save it as a build variable in Powershell? (I'm new)
