You can use the REST API to get build details including Associated Changes and Associated Work Items:
Associated Changes:
GET https://{instance}/DefaultCollection/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/changes?api-version={version}
Associated Work Items:
POST https://{instance}/DefaultCollection/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/workitems?api-version={version}
Please see Get build details for details.
UPDATE:
You can use below PowerShell script to get the build details including Associated Changes and Associated Work Items from TFS 2015 in .txt file (Just specify the correct parameters):
Param(
[string]$collectionurl = "http://server:8080/tfs/defaultcollection",
[string]$project = "0323ScrumTFVC",
[string]$BuildID = "1",
[string]$user = "username",
[string]$token = "password",
[string]$FilePath = 'C:\temp.txt'
)
# Base64-encodes the Personal Access Token (PAT) appropriately
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,$token)))
#BaseUrl
$WITbaseUrl = "$collectionurl/$project/_apis/build/builds/$($BuildID)/workitems"
$ChangebaseUrl = "$collectionurl/$project/_apis/build/builds/$($BuildID)/changes"
#Response
$WITresponse = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $WITbaseUrl -Method Get -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}).value
$Changeresponse = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $ChangebaseUrl -Method Get -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}).value
#Output the Associated Work items to a text file.
$WITrequests = #()
foreach($WITrequest in $WITresponse){
$customObject = new-object PSObject -property #{
"WorkitemID" = $WITrequest.id
"WorkitemURL" = $WITrequest.url
}
$WITrequests += $customObject
}
$WITrequests | Select `
WorkitemID,
WorkitemURL | Out-File -FilePath $FilePath -Width 200
#Output the Associated Changes to the text file.
$Changerequests = #()
foreach($Changerequest in $Changeresponse){
$customObject = new-object PSObject -property #{
"ChangesetID" = $Changerequest.id
"Comments" = $Changerequest.message
"Author" = $Changerequest.author.uniqueName
"Timestamp" = $Changerequest.timestamp
"Location" = $Changerequest.location
}
$Changerequests += $customObject
}
$Changerequests | Select `
ChangesetID,
Comments,
Author,
Timestamp,
Location | Out-File -FilePath $FilePath -Width 200 -Append # (with -Append, the contents will increment to txt file )
