I'm calling a powershell script from within an InvokeProcess build activity in TFS 2013.

There are a couple properties called SolutionName and SolutionPath that I want to pass into the script. In the diagnostic build log, I see the properties and their values, but I'm not sure how to pass them to the script.

I can using things like $env:TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER, but I can't seem to access SolutionName or SolutionPath.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can dump all `env` variables using `ls env:`. You could add this to your script and get a list of all available variables. – Martin Brandl Jun 21 '16 at 20:36
Well, that's a bummer. SolutionName and SolutionPath are not in the list. – Steve L. Jun 21 '16 at 20:57
