Hi everyone,
I am trying to use git assisted versioning but keep getting the error “Did not find any .gitversion file” when i run the “tap sdk gitversion” command.
Is this file generated automatically? If it is I can’t generate it so I manually copy and pasted the .gitversion file from the OpenTAP repo but i dont know where to put that file and still get the same error.
Also, when I add an annotated tag, it does not increment the version.
Hi @btyilmaz,
A .gitversion file is not automatically generated.
The idea is, you bump the .gitversion file when you are going to work on a new version, to get new alpha and beta versions.
When you then want to make a release you can use the git tag.
You can read all about it in the Developer Guide.
Make sure you check-in your .gitversion file into your branch, or it won’t work when “experimenting with it”.
Thanks @rolf_madsen and @alan_copeland , I missed the part where it says " To determine the first three values of the version number, Git assisted versioning reads a .gitversion file in from the root of the repository".
Also, as the @alan_copeland said, I checked-in the file and it worked.
Another thing came to my mind is that the GitVersion can be used for package versions. It may be a cool way to increment version.
