Package Install

VSTS Task Name VSTS Phase
Package Install (Habitat) Release

Summary

Installs a Habitat package locally after building

Description

Installs the package locally. Usually used before the upload. This is required because the Habitat Studio is not being used for building, thus the package has to be installed locally for the upload task to work correctly.

If the option to use sudo has been set in the Service Endpoint this task will use sudo to perform the export.

Settings

Setting Required Default Value Description
Display name yes Install Habitat Set the display name for this task
Habitat Origin yes None The Habitat Endpoint to use for this task

Last Build Environment File yes $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/$(System.TeamProject)-CI/drop/last_build.sh Path to the Habitat generated last_build.sh file. This contains the version and revision values that the agent requires to find the correct Habitat package file

The variables specified in the table above come from VSTS. A list of well known variables can be found here.
