Visual Studio Team Services Build Notifications

Question

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

Currently all I can see are the old xaml workflow based builds available to select for notifications.

I would like to also be able to use this for the vNext scriptable build system.

Answer 1

For VS notification, only XAML build definitions will have notifications. Right now, configure email alert is the only option.

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

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