Re: Take Two: Another Approach for Team Development Workflow with Umbraco Cloud by Paul Sterling | Issue 37 of Skrift: A Monthly Online Magazine for Umbraco

Thanks. We've tried a few different approaches - most promising is a gulp task that compares versions and (tries to) pull latest from the Cloud Dev site if the local repo is behind. This is "okay" but prone to silent failure. At this point the most successful is to make sure all team members are trained on the process ;-)

Hi Steve -
Great post!! I'm no expert,but based-on experience with this in Azure I'd recommend you go with an async pattern more like the .Net 4 stuff:

///the method to execute in the new task thread.
private void MethodToExecute() { ... }
//the method to execute after the task thread completes
private void MethodOnFinish(Task task) {.... }
//create a long running task
var myTask = new Task(MethodToExecute, TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning);
//now set the method to execute when the task is finished
myTask.ContinueWith(MethodOnFinish);
//NOTE: you could also specify a delegate instead of a method
//now start the task
myTask.Start();

Not sure how this plays out with the method that never returns, but I think you can handle for a timeout and execute accordingly...at least updating when the next task starts.
