Bamboo xml autocompleting brokes our build script

chikatori13

Before building C# app with mono compiler we need to change one .sln file: place additional <Reference> tag after exists. On non-production server this can be done via sed:

sed -i 's/<Reference Include="System" \/>/<Reference Include="System" \/> <Reference Include="Mono.Posix" \/>/' Infrastructure.Common/Infrastructure.Common.csproj

But when same code placed in bamboo task script, editor changes it into these strange text:

sed -i 's/<Reference Include="System" \></Reference>/<Reference Include="System" \></Reference> <Reference Include="Mono.Posix" \></Reference>/' Infrastructure.Common/Infrastructure.Common.csproj

As a result, build fails. Is there a way to change it's behavior, or we don't can use sed in build scripts?

Hello

If for some reason when you put your code on bamboo task script it complains about the "/", you could try to create a small script to do the changes on your .sln file and make bamboo call it, as workaround. For example:

#!/bin/bash
sed -i 's/<Reference Include="System" \/>/<Reference Include="System" \/> <Reference Include="Mono.Posix" \/>/' Infrastructure.Common/Infrastructure.Common.csproj
