  • Artículo

Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018 - TFS 2013

By using the index of elements in this topic, you can look up the syntax structure and find examples of how to use each element of the schema definition for process templates.

Note

The schema definition for process templates uses a mix of camel-case and all capitalized elements. If you encounter errors when validating your type definition files, check the case structure of your elements. Also, the case structure of opening and closing tags must match according to the rules for XML syntax.

Alphabetical index

Elements that define the root plug-in for process templates

The ProcessTemplate file contains two main parent elements within the ProcessTemplate root element: metadata and groups. The syntax for each of the following elements and their child elements is described in Process template XML elements reference.

  • metadata: description, name, plugin, plugins
  • groups: dependencies, dependency, group, tasklist

Elements that define plug-in tasks

You use the tasks element and its child elements to define the artifacts to be uploaded or specific elements to be created for each plug-in. You can access the topic that provides detailed information and examples for each plug-in and element in the following table.
