[Enhancement] Pass the version number in the command line

[erichexter]

It looks like I have to create some sort of artifact (file) in order to version my db globally. Why cant I just pass this a parameter of the rh.exe ?

[k4gdw]

From what I can tell by just a cursory glance through the documentation RH.exe does not have a command line argument for version.. If you want that capability, it should be relatively simple, compared to some other customization's, to add it. However, it would be much easier to just edit _BuildInfo.xml.

I agree with it being easier to just create a file, I was going to go with
the txt version. I have found that by using octopus deoy I already have the
version number as a variable in the deploy.ps1. So it would be one less
piece of friction

I'm using custom MSBuild scripts on a couple of projects at my day job. We
have a custom target that reads the version from _BuildInfo.xml, increments
the build number, and writes it back out. Then it shoves the version number
into a shared AssemblyInfo file prior to building the solution. Then it
fires off RH which gets it's version info from the compiled dll before
finally running any unit tests.

We use a 4 digit semver http://semver.org/ version number of
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.BUILD. The only time we need to manually edit
_BuildInfo.xml is when we bump major, minor, or patch to set the lower
digits to 0.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good

Has this been resolved? I see this in the documentation as --version but in the latest stable version v0.8.6.0 it does not work

[kunalbuxani]

I've been setting up a new project wondering why I the --version switch wasn't working. Turns out upgrading to this week's 0.8.7 release fixes the problem.

[BiggerNoise]

I'll take that as confirmation that the issue is resolved!
