Description

  • Changed default build configuration from Release to Debug for CI-SqlClient[-Package] pipelines.
  • Plumbed 'builConfiguration' template parameter down through all of the pipeline YML files.
  • Removed the pipeline variable $(Configuration) in favour of buildConfiguration parameter.
  • Added environment variable override for unit test config file.

I will also be changing how the triggered and scheculed pipelines run, defaulting them to Release so we continue to get coverage there as well.

Testing

  • The CI-SqlClient and CI-SqlClient-Package runs will now be Debug.
  • There will likely be new top-level pipelines for main-commit triggers and schedules, that build/run in Release mode.

This job is only used for official release builds, so we hardcode Release here.

I standardized on this parameter name, values, and default everywhere.

The MSBuild@1 task has a configuration parameter for the build configuration, which we sometimes use.

solution: build.proj
msbuildArchitecture: x64
msbuildArguments: '-p:Configuration=${{parameters.configuration }} -t:BuildAKVNetCore -p:ReferenceType=${{parameters.referenceType }} -p:TestMicrosoftDataSqlClientVersion=${{parameters.NugetPackageVersion }}'
msbuildArguments: '-p:Configuration=${{parameters.buildConfiguration }} -t:BuildAKVNetCore -p:ReferenceType=${{parameters.referenceType }} -p:TestMicrosoftDataSqlClientVersion=${{parameters.NugetPackageVersion }}'

And sometimes for MSBuild@1 we manually set the build configuration. Shrug!

When we enable the stress tests, we can decide which build configuration to use. For now, they default to Debug like everything else.

I created a new top-level pipeline for triggered and scheduled runs. See below.

All PR CI runs will default to Debug build configuration. The triggered/scheduled runs will use Release.

Unfortunately, ADO won't let me create a new pipeline pointing to this file beause it doesn't exist on main yet. I have opened a bug, but I doubt it will be addressed. So, we will have to get this merged to GitHub main before I can setup a pipeline to test it.

Note that I changed the day and time of these schedules. The old values were Tue-Sat 00:00, and Fri 04:00 respectively.

This lets me have a single config file that I can use for any workspace, rather than having to edit config.json on every Git branch/worktree.
