Version String Format - using Octopus Deploy Bamboo Plugin

Legacy Execution
1

Hi All,

I am using the Octopus Deploy (v3.15.4) plugin for Atlassian Bamboo (v6.0.3). I am stuck on trying to assign an appropriate version number. I have tried a whole range of values and it keeps failing and from reading other discussions on the forums here I have read it could be to do with Semantic Versioning but I just can’t figure out what a valid value would be. I don’t want to have a version number like 1.0.0.{buildNumber} because my actual version number is in my .NET AssemblyInfo.cs file. So I don’t want to have a misleading name on the package.

Here is the part of the log from Bamboo:

21-Jul-2017 17:22:53 System.ArgumentException: ‘175.PROJ.TEST.master’ is not a valid version string

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I think I may have answered my own question by coming across this doc:

Also, I couldn’t find it before but your official documentation helped too:

Thanks
