Introduction

Build & Release task to extract contents from a zip file to a given folder.

It can extract the entire content of the file or just the files/folders who respect a given pattern.

Configuration

After you install the extension in your account (see Get extensions for Visual Studio Team Services to learn how to install extensions) you are ready to use the task on your build or release defintions on the account(s) you have installed the extension into.

Using

When you add a new step to your build or release template, you can chose the task from the Utility category

The task has three parameters

• ZIP file path The path of the file in the agent. if you specify a relative path, it will be relative to the root of the source directory.
• Extract Pattern Filter If you wish to just extract few files, you can use a minimatch pattern, these are the same patterns used commonly in other tasks. (eg: the copy task") (leave the parameter empty to extract all files)
• Destination folder The path to where the files should be extracted to. if you specify a relative path, it will be relative to the root of source directory (the folder will be created if necessary)
