Question

"New Build Definition" in Team Explorer doesn't allow you to force a build to run more frequently than once every 24 hours. Is this possible?

I want the tests to run every hour regardless of whether any changes have been checked in.

I think this is possible by creating a scheduled task but I'd rather keep the solution in TFS if possible.

Thanks, Chris

Solution

"I want the tests to run every hour regardless of whether any changes have been checked in." - Why? What would this achieve? If nothing has changed, then it is pointless rebuilding.

Suggest you set up to queue a build on checkin.

OTHER TIPS

Thanks for your suggestions.

I achieved what I was after by running the following command in a scheduled task:

TFSBuild start <<TeamFoundationServer>> <<TeamProject>>
 <<BuildTypeName>>
