Deploy Release

This page describes the Octopus Deploy build event handler settings for deploying a release

Deploy

A list of one or more environments to deploy to. Each environment should be on a separate line. You can use expressions in this field.

Release Version to Deploy

You can choose to one of the following options:

Release created by this event handler: if a Create action has been selected for this event handler and is set to trigger before the Deploy action, then you can opt to deploy the release created during the build.
Highest release version for project: if this option is selected then Continua will query the Octopus Deploy server to get the highest release based on semantic value of version numbers.
Specific release version: after selecting this option, the Release Version filed will appear allowing you to enter a specific version to deploy.

Release Version

Enter the release version number to deploy. You can use expressions in this field.

Note that all the version numbers in the above fields must be semantically correct according the Semantic Versioning specification.

Tick this to force downloading of packages which are already installed

Force Re-deployment

Tick this to override the Octopus Deploy project setting to skip packages with already-installed versions and to force re-deployment.
