Team Team Visual Studio Notifications

Question

Is there a way to get a visual studio notification tool to work with the new vNext build system?

Currently, all I see are old builds based on xaml workflows available for notifications.

I would also like to use this for the vNext script assembly system.

Answer 1

For VS notifications, only XAML design notifications will have notifications. Setting up an email alert right now is the only option.

By the way, here is an extensible plugin for TFS called TfsNotificationRelay that supports sending notifications to Slack, HipChat and IRC, including notifications about vNext assembly events, you can take a look at it: https://github.com/kria/TfsNotificationRelay

Answer 2

If you want to see the current build status in the tray, you can use Catlight . It supports the new builds of vNext and Visual Studio Online.

Answer 3

Another way to get vNext notification is to use AnyStatus

Now available as a VS extension and will come with a desktop application.

Answer 4

Due to the fact that CatLight is no longer free, I have developed replaceable system tray notifications and a website toolbar for building TFS (VSTS or in-place). Early steps, but the first version is available here: https://github.com/mattwendels/tfs-build-notifications
