TFS 2012 Build to print a message in the log

Question

For TFS 2010 we used:

context.TrackBuildMessage(message, BuildMessageImportance.High);
context.TrackBuildWarning(message);
context.TrackBuildError(message);
context.TrackBuildWarning(message);

For TFS 2012 there appears to only be a Track method on context. However my attempts at testing and tracking an error do not work and show me nothing in the build log.

context.Track(new CustomTrackingRecord(message, System.Diagnostics.TraceLevel.Error));

Answer 1

In TFS 2012 you need to use the TrackingExtensions class.

Just add a using to this namespace to get access to the methods.

using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities;
