Pass a Team City Parameter to a PowerShell file

Question

I have the following parameter defined in Team City:

I want to pass this parameter into a powershell script I have (that will update the xml file with the version number).

But this inserts the actual text %version% into the script (No substitution is made for the actual value of the parameter.)

However, I know my script is working because if I hardcode the values like this then it works:

Is there a way to get %version% to convert to the actual value when when used as a PowerShell script argument?

Answer 1

If you put the parameter in quotes, "%version%", and change the script execution mode to Execute ps1 script with "-File" argument then this should resolve and inject correctly

e.g.

I don't see the option to execute with the -File option in version 9. And I just upgraded to version 10 and it is not there either. I am guessing this is an option for older versions? – Sleeve

Putting it in quotes was the solution. Once I did that it worked. Thanks! – Sleeve

You need Environment Variables (env.), it's work to me enter image description here

Your example demonstrates adding environment variables to scripts which are written in the Team City UI, not source control as was specified in the original question. Your answer is not relevant to this situation. – Filberte
