ArcGIS Pro Custom Addin Version Number

trushar

Hey there, everyone!

I am currently wondering a way to change the my custom addin version number. 
In the `Config.daml` file, see the `AddInInfo` tag, ArcGIS Pro reads this and displays.  

<AddInInfo id="{some-guid}" version="1.0.0" desktopVersion="3.0.36056"> ... </AddInInfo>

In our case, we have a CI/CD pipe line that assigns a new build number. AFAIK `Config.daml` is a static markup, changes have to be done prior to getting build started. So my question is how you all did it? Script it? Is there any Esri api/documentation that I should take a look first? Please share..
Thank you again,
Trushar

I've successfully placed build numbers there in Pro v3.3. Experimenting a bit more, I found that the "version" attribute of the "AddInInfo" node in Config.daml can be anything. Here's a screen grab of my working addin in Pro's "Add-In Manager" screen to illustrate . . .

 

At any rate, here's the working Groovy function I ended up with in case it helps anyone later.  Note that Jenkins will make you approve EACH AND EVERY call to a Java method individually, so be prepared for that.

 

// Takes in the path to the Config.daml file that defines a Pro Addin
// Alters said file's 'AddInInfo' element with an updated 'version' attribute value
def updateAddinMetadata (String damlFilePath, String versionNumber, String environmentName) {
	// Parse the XML and retrieve the "AddInInfo" node
	def xml = readFile damlFilePath
	def arcGIS = new XmlParser().parseText(xml)
	def addinInfoNode = arcGIS.get("AddInInfo").get(0)
	
	// Set version number
	addinInfoNode['@version'] = versionNumber

	// Set build/release date
	dateNode = addinInfoNode.get("Date").get(0)
	dateNode.setValue(new Date().format("dd MMMMMMMMM yyyy"))

	// Set description text
	descriptionNode = addinInfoNode.get("Description").get(0)
	currentDescription = descriptionNode.text().trim()
	descriptionNode.setValue("Built for the ${environmentName} environment\n${currentDescription}")

	// Write the changes to Config.daml
	def writer = new FileWriter(damlFilePath)
	def nodePrinter = new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(writer))
	nodePrinter.setPreserveWhitespace(true) // without this, the Description & Date nodes are prettified--values placed on separate lines from tags. These newlines are rendered by ArcGIS Pro in the "Add-in Manager" screen and it looks awful
	nodePrinter.print(arcGIS)
	writer.close()
}
