Release variables only work with "Inline JSON" transformation type

[guranto66]

Hello,
It seems that release configuration variables in TFS 2015 only get their values replaced with "Inline JSON" transformation type. When using "JSON File", transformations do happen, but the values are not being replaced. The result web.config ends up having records like the one below.

<add key="Release" value="$(Release.ReleaseName)" />

Is that something can be fixed?

Thank you,
Anton

PS. Keep up the good work.

@guranto66 Could you proivde full text of your source config as well as JSON transofrmations?

Sergey,
Please see the files attached. I'm transforming web.config using web.config.json. When I copy json file content into inline field, it all works fine.

Thank you,
Anton

@sergeyzwezdin I have the same issue with the transformations, any updates on this?

P.S. Awesome job with this build step :)

@guranto66 I'm quite busy right now. I'll fix once I'll have a time.

@sergeyzwezdin Thanks! This is a great tool.
I am interested in using variables in JSON transformation files too.
