Hello.
What do i have to do if the variable has to be replaced by an empty value?
I use VSTS and i don't see the tab meesing variable action on the task.

Regards,

Damien

Hi Damien,
If you want to replace variables with empty values you have to:

• Expand the Missing variables group
• Select silently continue for action
• Uncheck Keep token

The group should be visible under the standard parameters.

Hi Damien,
Will a custom configurable value to specify empty value would suite your needs? For example configuring that variable value to (empty) would mean to replace the token with an empty value without triggering a warning or an error.

Hi Guillaume. Yes It should be very nice. I would like to keep all parameters between my different environments as if it is empty. It is for a uniformisation purpose... Thanks a lot for your following 😀 Kind regards, Damien Holderbeke Mobile Damien Holderbeke Mobile

Hi Damien,
I just published a new version which exposes a new parameter Empty value which allows to replace tokens with an empty string when the variable value matches this parameter. The default empty value is (empty) and can be changed in the advanced tab.

The two parameters yaml "emptyValue" and "defaultvalue" (and the documentation) are not understandable !
How to use them ! Give us examples !
Why didn't you propose a "allowEmptyValues" parameter more clear and needn't documentation !

So, I want to authorise empty string, but fail task if a variable is not set. How to do in yaml ?
