Adding the Octopus build number to a project level variable

Question

I have a project variable of {#ServiceVersion} in one of my config files and i need ot be able to set this to the octopus release number that's stored in the octopus variables.

I've tried the basic PowerShell script that looks something like this:

$ServiceVersion = "$($OctopusParameters['Octopus.Release.Number'])"; 

But that doesnt seem to work.

Answer 1

To alias an Octopus system variable, you'll need to add it as a variable to your project.

Then you can use the variable with one of the configuration substitution features.
