Wassup Jose Weblog nonsense at its best!

Being Responsible for Builds

Every time MSBuild fails to successfully complete a build a work item is created. Since I'm the self-appointed build fixer(monger), I wanted to make sure that I'm notified every time a build fails, so I can take corrective action. This article points out a super easy way to make this happen. Just added the "Assigned To=" attribute and list the name of the person to assign it to.

<WorkItemFieldValues>
Assigned To=St. Jean, Steven;
Symptom=build break;
Steps To Reproduce=Start the build using Team Build
</WorkItemFieldValues>
