Question regarding possibility to output versioning info to a file

[thomasbeste]

Hello sirs,

I am using Azure pipelines, to build and deploy a software package using GitVersion.

I would like to write the version output based on YAML, the same way as the argument switch /output file would do.
Then i would be able to make an endpoint on my REST services, where i could feed this file to the requester, thus easily showing what version the software currently has

for now, this is my take - not sure it is correct, since i have a really hard time finding documentation on this:

  - task: gitversion/execute@0
    displayName: Determine Version
    inputs:
      output: file,json
      useConfigFile: true
      configFilePath: 'GitVersion.yml'

could anyone please give me some pointers in the correct direction?

Thanks in advance :-)

You can find the supported YAML properties in the documentation for the AzDO Task. I don't think output: is supported, but I think something like additionalArguments: -output file should work.
