Arguments

Argument	Description
Application Package	The location of the Service Fabric application package to be deployed to the cluster.
	Example: `$(system.defaultworkingdirectory)/**/drop/applicationpackage`
	Can include wildcards and variables.
Version Value	The value appended to the versions in the manifest files. Default is `.$(Build.BuildNumber)`.
	Tip: You can modify the build number format directly or use a logging command to dynamically set a variable in any format. For example, you can use `$(VersionSuffix)` defined in a PowerShell task:
	`$versionSuffix = ".$([DateTimeOffset]::UtcNow.ToString('yyyyMMdd.HHmmss'))"`
	`Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=VersionSuffix;]$versionSuffix"`
Version Behavior	Specify whether to append the version value to existing values in the manifest files, or replace them.
Update only if changed	Select this check box if you want to append the new version suffix to only the packages that have changed from a previous build. If no changes are found, the version suffix from the previous build will be appended.
	Note: By default, the compiler will create different outputs even if you made no changes. Use the deterministic compiler flag to ensure builds with the same inputs produce the same outputs.
Package Artifact Name	The name of the artifact containing the application package from the previous build.
Log all changes	Select this check box to compare all files in every package and log if the file was added, removed, or if its content changed. Otherwise, compare files in a package only until the first change is found for potentially faster performance.
Compare against	Specify whether to compare against the last completed, successful build or against a specific build.
Build Number	If comparing against a specific build, the build number to use.

This task can only be used in a build pipeline to automatically update the versions of a packaged Service Fabric app.

This task support two types of update:

Manifest version: It will update Service and Application versions specified in manifest files in Service fabric application package. It specified, it compares current files against a previous build and updates version only for those services which have been changed.
Docker image settings: It will update docker container image settings specified in manifest files in Service fabric application package. The image settings to be placed are picked from two files:

a. Image names file: This file is generated by build task

b. Image digests file: This file is generated by docker task when it pushes images to registry

Task Inputs

Parameter	Name	Description
`updateType`	Update Type	(Required) Specify the type of update that should be made to the manifest files. In order to use both update types, add an instance of this task to the build pipeline for each type of update to be executed. Default value: Manifest versions
`applicationPackagePath`	Application Package	(Required) Path to the application package. Variables and wildcards can be used in the path
`versionSuffix`	Version Value	(Required) The value used to specify the version in the manifest files. Default is .$(Build.BuildNumber). Default value: .$(Build.BuildNumber)
`versionBehavior`	Version Behavior	Specify whether to append the version value to existing values in the manifest files or replace them. Default value: Append
`updateOnlyChanged`	Update only if changed	(Required) Incrementally update only the packages that have changed. Use the deterministic compiler flag to ensure builds with the same inputs produce the same outputs. Default value: false
`pkgArtifactName`	Package Artifact Name	The name of the artifact containing the application package for comparison
`logAllChanges`	Log all changes	Compare all files in every package and log if the file was added, removed, or if its content changed. Otherwise, compare files in a package only until the first change is found for faster performance. Default value: true
`compareType`	Compare against	The build for comparison. Default value: LastSuccessful
`buildNumber`	Build Number	The build number for comparison
`overwriteExistingPkgArtifact`	Overwrite Existing Package Artifact	Always download a new copy of the artifact. Otherwise use an existing copy, if present. Default value: true
`imageNamesPath`	Image Names Path	Path to a text file that contains the names of the Docker images associated with the Service Fabric application that should be updated with digests. Each image name must be on its own line and must be in the same order as the digests in Image Digests file. If the images are created by the Service Fabric project, this file is generated as part of the Package target and its output location is controlled by the property BuiltDockerImagesFilePath
`imageDigestsPath`	Image Digests Path	(Required) Path to a text file that contains the digest values of the Docker images associated with the Service Fabric application. This file can be output by the Docker task when using the push action. The file should contain lines of text in the format of 'registry/image_name@digest_value'

FAQ

Do I need an agent?

You need at least one agent to run your build or release.

I'm having problems. How can I troubleshoot them?

See Troubleshoot Build and Release.

I can't select a default agent pool and I can't queue my build or release. How do I fix this?

See Agent pools.

My NuGet push task is failing with the following error: "Error: unable to get local issuer certificate". How can I fix this?

This can be fixed by adding a trusted root certificate. You can either add the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=file environment variable to your build agent, or you can add the NODE.EXTRA.CA.CERTS=file task variable in your pipeline. See Node.js documentation for more details about this variable. See Set variables in a pipeline for instructions on setting a variable in your pipeline.

I use TFS on-premises and I don't see some of these features. Why not?

Some of these features are available only on Azure Pipelines and not yet available on-premises. Some features are available on-premises if you have upgraded to the latest version of TFS.
