We have the same thing going on with IonicCommand, the train tried to deploy today and it's broken. I also just tried deploying one of our Terraform pipelines and I'm getting the same error you are.

I think this is the issue that's impacting tasks? No idea though. Some additional details would be nice...

    Thanks Kidd_Ip .
    BenjaminHansen seems like you are correct..
    Just this morning, I'm about to replace the terraform tasks and found that the missing extension was re-installed. 

     

    Terraform by charleszipp  was unpublished in the Marketplace, and so it disappeared from Azure DevOps.

    Perhaps we could replace the task with the suggested replacement now maintained by JasonJohnson  . https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JasonBJohnson.azure-pipelines-tasks-terraform.


    Do you know if there is a way to send notifications if there has been a recent change to the extensions installed in Azure DevOps?

      leaabrugenaYou're correct, their last status update stated that non-published tasks in non-US regions have been restored. I'm in the US so it's still unavailable for me. However, we're probably better using a published task (even though I don't really understand what the difference is...)

       

      I'm not aware of a way to set up notifications when there's an update, I tried setting up RSS for release notes a while back but it's broken. I'm willing to bet this issue with non-published tasks wasn't intentional and so we wouldn't have received an update anyway.
