Feature request: GitVersionTask with C++, WixToolset projects support

[sergey-s-betke]

For WixToolset projects - just environment variables is enough. Or version.wxi with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
    <?define ProductVersion="02.04.3369.0007"?>
    ...
</Include>

Or version.wxs with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
    <?include version.wxi ?>
    <WixVariable Id="ProductVersion" Value="$(var.ProductVersion)"/>
    ...
</Wix>

For .vcxproj - version.h for с++ compiler and resource compiler is enough. Minimum - project variables for using in /D directive for c++ compiler and resource compiler...

[sergey-s-betke]

For C++ custom build step:

      <ItemDefinitionGroup>
        <CustomBuildStep>
          <Command>$(SolutionDir)packages\GitVersion.CommandLine.3.6.5\tools\GitVersion.exe /exec update_version.h.cmd /execargs version.h</Command>
          <Message>GitVersion: retrieving version information from git repository</Message>
          <Outputs>version.h</Outputs>
          <Inputs>$(SolutionDir).git/logs/HEAD</Inputs>
          <TreatOutputAsContent>false</TreatOutputAsContent>
        </CustomBuildStep>
      </ItemDefinitionGroup>

and update_version.h.cmd:

			SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

			SET VERSION_H_FILE=%~f1 

			echo // version data file > %VERSION_H_FILE%

			FOR %%V IN (
				Major,Minor,Patch,PreReleaseTag,PreReleaseTagWithDash,PreReleaseLabel,PreReleaseNumber,
				BuildMetaData,BuildMetaDataPadded,FullBuildMetaData,MajorMinorPatch,SemVer,LegacySemVer,LegacySemVerPadded,
				AssemblySemVer,FullSemVer,InformationalVersion,BranchName,Sha,
				NuGetVersionV2,NuGetVersion,
				CommitsSinceVersionSource,CommitsSinceVersionSourcePadded,CommitDate
			) DO (
				echo #define GITVERSION_%%V !GitVersion_%%V! >> %VERSION_H_FILE%
			)

			ENDLOCAL

generate version.h:

	// version data file  
	#define GITVERSION_Major 0  
	#define GITVERSION_Minor 1  
	#define GITVERSION_Patch 0  
	#define GITVERSION_PreReleaseTag bootstrapper-vnext.123

@sergey-s-betke: Sorry, but my lack of C++ and WixToolset experience makes your request very hard to grasp. I understand the overarching request of having support in GitVersion for C++ and WixToolset projects, but I don't quite get what that means for GitVersion. How does GitVersion need to change in order to support this? What features do we need to add?

[sergey-s-betke]

@asbjornu not for GitVersion, just for GitVersionTask! Now GitVersionTask does not support C++, WixToolset projects support. I would like:

• auto install GitVersionTask in my wxiproj anc vcxproj as NuGet package
• after GitVersionTask adds a custom build task that generates MSBuild variables GitVersion_XXXX.

[sergey-s-betke]

And GitVersionTask defines constants:

<DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants);GITVERSION_XXXX=$(GITVERSION_XXXX)</DefineConstants>

After than we have constants in c++ files (without #define directive), in wix files (without <?define?> directive).

Thank You for Your attention.

@sergey-s-betke: Thanks for the example. Do you have any idea how we can test this in the GitVersion codebase?

[sergey-s-betke]

Yes. It is enough to import GitVersionTask.target to test project and check c++ preprocessor definitions not at build time, but at runtime.

For CSharp and VB support:

	<Target Name="GetVersion" BeforeTargets="ClCompile;ResourceCompile;Csc;Vbc" Condition="$(GetVersion) == 'true'">
              ...
			<ItemGroup>
				<Csc>
					<DefineConstants>%(DefineConstants);$(GitVersionDefinitions)</DefineConstants>
				</Csc>
			<ItemGroup>
			</ItemGroup>
				<Vbc>
					<DefineConstants>%(DefineConstants);$(GitVersionDefinitions)</DefineConstants>
				</Vbc>
			</ItemGroup>

And - check preprocessor macros at runtime.

I am unsure how to action this issue, can I suggest:

1. If we can extend GitVersion task so it can be installed into c++ projects then submit a pull request to do that
2. If we cannot extend what we have, can we create a new build target which creates a new NuGet package with a different target file
3. If we can't do that, take the above information, capture it into the docs under a how-to for c++/wix projects.

Do any of those sound reasonable @sergey-s-betke
