If you are using GitVersion with NUKE and you are trying to get the pipeline working, but are running into the build failing with Could not inject value for GitVersion.

I will assume you are using a YAML pipeline (and in my case I was pulling the sources from GitHub), try this.

First open the pipeline that is experiencing issues and go select ‘Edit’:

Select the additional settings that are collapsed and go to ‘Triggers’:

Recently I wanted to use GitVersion to determine the version number for a project. To keep the project self-contained I installed GitVersion as a .NET Local Tool. However, when trying to get the generated version numbers through FAKE it didn’t work.

Unfortunately, the current version of FAKE does not support running GitVersion as a dotnet tool. To bridge that gap I wrote the following FAKE script to get it to work.
