Taking version from AssemblyInfo.cs and using it with AppVeyor

build.cmd

rem This is how we get version in environment variable
for /f %%i in ('PowerShell -File get-version.ps1') do set my_version=%%i

get-version.ps1

$directoryPath = Split-Path ((Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value).MyCommand.Path
$assemblyFile = "$directoryPath\VersionInfo.cs"

$RegularExpression = [regex] 'AssemblyVersion\(\"(.*)\"\)'
    

# Get the Content of the file and store it in the  variable 
$fileContent = Get-Content $assemblyFile
#$fileContent

foreach($content in $fileContent)
{
    $match = [System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Match($content, $RegularExpression)
    if($match.Success) {
        $match.groups[1].value
    }
}

Can you please elaborate on how to run the cmd and ps1 at the same time? It appears in my build settings that I only get to choose one script type and I'm already dependent upon nuget restore in cmd in my before build script.

Positively incredible that CI/CD has been "evolving" for nearly a decade and the simple matter of properly versioning artifacts remains frustratingly elusive. 🤦‍♂️
