Release Management for Visual Studio - Release Not Triggered

Trying to setup automated releases using Release Management for Visual Studio 2013. Process works when manually creating a release in RM Client.

When queuing a new build in Visual Studio, build succeeds, but release never displays in RM.

"Release Build" is set to "True" in Build Template.

Any suggestions?

Other than what @DanielMann correctly said in his answer, there are two important flags to consider:

  • In the build template, Release Build needs to be set to True (as mentioned by the OP)
  • The Can Trigger a Release from a Build? checkbox must be checked. The checkbox can be found in the Release Management client, in the Properties of a specific Release Template. That's also the section where one can specify the Build Definition to use for the Release.

See the Trigger a release from a build documentation on MSDN.

In the build template, "Configuration to Release" was set to "Release - Any CPU". After removing, the Release build process was triggered.

If you're using an agent-based release template, the release management client has to be installed and configured on your build agent.

If you're using a vNext release template, the release build process template will not work. You'll have to customize it to use the REST API that was added in Update 3.
