If you read my last article about the builds (here: http://www.mynavblog.com/2020/06/05/automated-builds-part-9-using-azure-vm/) you know that current one will be a continuation. But since the beginning of June, a lot changed in the builds area, so I needed to rethink the scenario. First, Freddy...
It is quite a while since I posted a series about the automated builds. Those blogs focused on the not complicated pipeline when the agent is self-hosted. If you did not read them, I recommended that you will look at them...

I almost get to the end with the series. Today last point related to building pipelines. Sometimes it is needed to store the solution in different repositories – one for each extension. For example, this can happen when the solution is...
I get to the point in the series where I have an app published to the build container. However, I am missing a very important step – testing of the application. Let’s change that and add to the pipeline the automated...
In the series related to the automated builds, I get to the point when I can compile and publish the extension in the docker container. In this article, I will show how to do that. Additionally, in the end, I will...

This is the 3rd article in the series how to prepare the automated builds. In previous one I wrote how to set agent on self-hosted server. In this part I will show how to create the build pipeline with few steps:...
This is the second article in the series how to prepare automated builds. In the first part I described what are the goals will be achieved. Now I will guide you thru first step of the process: connecting Azure DevOps and...
