SetVariable Task

Overview

The SetVariable task sets a variable. If the variable doesn't exist, it is added. If it already exists, its value is updated. Variables are referenced in your whiskey.yml file using the syntax $(VARIABLE NAME), where VARIABLE NAME is replaced with the name of the variable. Any of Whiskey's pre-defined variables are not allowed to be changed. Attempting to change them will result in a build error.

All the task's properties are variable names. Each property's value becomes that variables value. You may reference other variables in a value. They will be replaced with values when they are used, not when they are added by this task.

Build:
- SetVariable:
    ReleaseName: 6.8
    BuildMasterPackageName: $(WHISKEY_BUILD_NUMBER)@$(WHISKEY_SCM_BRANCH)

Would add a ReleaseName variable whose value is 6.8 and a BuildMasterPackageName variable whose value is $(WHISKEY_BUILD_NUMBER)@$(WHISKEY_SCM_BRANCH).
