Git Question
Jenkins access msbuild file in github probject
My current situtation
I learning how to write Unit Tests with NUnit 3.4. The whole time I had like 3 Steps.
1.) I write my C#-Project with unit tests
2.) In the same folder where my Solution is, I have a msbuild-file which build my project and creates stuff like:
- Console-Report.xml
- MyProject.dll
- MyProject.pdb
- MyProject_Test.dll
- MyProject_Test.pdb
- nunit.framework.dll
- nunit.framewirk.xml
3.) I use Jenkins (nunit- und msbuildPlugins are installed): Every time I press "Build now" it calls my msbuild-file in the project folder:
So far, so good.
What I want
Now I want Jenkins to build every time I change and update my code and I read that there are many ways to do that. I want to try it with Github.
1.) I created a new repository "CannonAttack" and imported my project "MyCannonAttack"
2.) I connected more or less Github with Jenkins via this article successfully. See here:
But now I need to run my msbuild-file, which is on github. How can I call/access it? This is my github-project. In the next folder you can finde the msbuild-file.

Answer Source
Set your MSBuild Build File value to: ${WORKSPACE}\CannonAttack\MyCannonAttack\TestK.msbuild
Or possibly ${WORKSPACE}\MyCannonAttack\TestK.msbuildYou can click on "Workspace" on the left of the job page to see exactly where it is... In case I'm off by one folder in my suggestion. But ${WORKSPACE} is an environment variable that allows you to access the paths that you pull to with source control.
