Exception when using assembly-informational-version in GitVersion.yml

[brunobertechini]

Iam having the exception below when trying to override assembly-informational-version in GitVersion.yml.

Exception happens either when using GitVersion.exe and also when building using VSTS Team Build Server.

This is the content of GitVersion.yml
assembly-informational-version: '{NugetVersion}'

Exception:

According to https://gitversion.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/ it is assembly-informational-format not assembly-informational-version?

[brunobertechini]

I have tried that with no luck

Same problem

@brunobertechini, when you change the property to assembly-informational-format, what does the error look like?

Hello @brunobertechini , I had the same problem as you but with different section "BranchConfig". After hours of investigation I found that there the build server was picking up an old version of GitVersion because when I changed the VSTS build agent from local to be hosted. It worked fine for me. I don't know how it picks a different version but will have deep investigation later.
How I discovered that issue? I run the same build script on the local machine and working fine. And then form the local build server and works fine as well. But when I try to pick the get version config by running

 .\packages\GitVersion.CommandLine.3.6.4\tools\GitVersion /showConfig

it gave me parsing exception.

Going to close this issue as it hasn't moved for a while. Normally these issues are due to using an old version, please post another comment or open a fresh issue if this is still an issue
