Use LCS Dev environment for Build AND Dev purposes? (Dynamics 365 For Operations)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Eugene Voloshchenko

Hello, everyone!

Is it possible to use LCS DEV environment for BUILD and DEV purposes?

I know that in theory it is possible. Microsoft doesn't support this functionality.
My question is, if it will cause some problems while building and developing?

Which problems may occure if I will use Dev environment for dev and build purposes?

Thank you!

    Hi Eugene Voloshchenko,

    It will cause issues, because one of the steps of build is to restore packagelocaldirectory folder from archive and sync latest changes from VSTS, so it automatically wipes all unchecked changes that are your unfinished development. Also one of the steps is to restore DB from a backup to have a clean data set for you tests and again it wipes all data that you have setup.

    In case of build failure you may have broken application that you will have to restore and it's painful and time consuming process.

    Well, you could, but it wouldn't be practical. The developer couldn't develop while a build is running and vice versa. And because builds restore the environment to a clean state every time, the developer couldn't leave any work in progress there.
