Solution Version: incrementing solution version while exporting

[anshupandey0407]

Hello Team,

I would like to increase the solution version number while exporting so that the new version is used for importing in target environment. is there any action available for this task?

If I understand the ask correctly then my suggestion would be to do this as part of you pipeline using pac solution version --strategy Solution .

Example:

egrep "<Version>.*</Version>" src/Other/Solution.xml
<Version>1.0.1</Version>

pac solution version --strategy Solution
Build version updated for I:\Work-Repos\test\src\Other\Solution.xml.

egrep "<Version>.*</Version>" src/Other/Solution.xml
    <Version>1.0.2</Version>

The equivalent in GitHub Actions for the Power Platform is update-solution-version
https://github.com/microsoft/powerplatform-actions/blob/main/update-solution-version/action.yml

@paulbreuler - How might this be accomplished entirely in GitHub actions? The use case would be the same, but I'd like to automatically get and increment the version. I'm working from the actions lab examples.

Regarding that update-solution-version link it references an option to utilize a "tracker-file". Where might we find an example of that format? And is that manually managed or automatic?
