How to create custom Jenkins plugin for the .NET project ?

[Vadivel Natarajan]

Hi All, 

I would like to modify the AssemblyCopyright and AssemblyCompany in AssemblyInfo.cs file of a .NET project. As far as i searched, i didn't get an any idea. So i decided to write a plugin to achieve this. So, what i have to do first like what are the softwares that should install in server machine and in which programming language do i need to written the code? How to test the written plugin?

Below are the things i need to change in the file

[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("2001- 2010")]

[assembly: AssemblyCompany("The XXXX Software Foundation")]

Note: I have tried it using text find/replace in jenkins. No use in that. So, please do let me know is there any other way to achieve this.

Regards,

Vadivel

I think it would be better to integrate the functionality into an existing plugin like https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Change+Assembly+Version .

For Company and Copyright, why aren't you just editing the file and saving it in your repository?  Those values shouldn't change enough to warrant build time modification.

The values in AssemblyInfo.cs that are most likely candidates for build time modification are:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("0.0.0")]

The last two:
AssemblyFileVersion
AssemblyInformationalVersion

don't get into the file by default and have to be added.

I use the MSBuild Community tasks to do this. I generate a GlobalVersion.cs file during the build which is included in my projects. This file contains common assembly attributes. You could even pass in git or other SCM revision information as a property to be included in the version.

I'm seconding the updating of the existing plugin

That being said, I did write https://github.com/halkeye/AssemblyVersionChanger/blob/master/Main.cs a couple jobs ago that created a cli tool that would update the assembly information. That might be a good starting point.

There might be better ideas on the user list if you don't want to modify the plugin.
