Create a Release Pipeline Agent in Azure DevOps
Hi, I am trying to install a new agent for my Azure DevOps. I have followed the instructions that Azure DevOps provides when trying to install/create a new agent, but I am constantly running into an issue when installing the agent mentioned in the following URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/application-not-started?version=(null)&processName=AgentService.exe&platform=0009&osver=6&isServer=0&shimver=4.0.30319.0 I am running .NET Framework 4.6.2 on my system, and I do not know how to create the agent on my local system, I keep running into this error. I have also updated my PAT for both GitHub and Azure DevOps. Regards, Asim Khan
Has anyone here integrated JIRA with Azure DevOps
We are currently using Azure Pipelines for our deployment process and Azure Boards to track issues and tickets. However, our company recently decided to move the ticketing system to JIRA, and I have been tasked with integrating JIRA with Azure DevOps. If you have done something similar, I will appreciate any guidance, best practices, or things to watch out for.
Azure DevOps REST API - tag DeploymentGroups' target
Hello everyone, I am trying to setup a function in PowerShell to be able to set tags on specific targets of a deploymentgroup, and for that I am using this documentation page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/distributedtask/targets/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0&tabs=HTTP#request-body I created the request body as described in the page like bellow: { "id": 541, "tags": [ "tag1-backendWithDb", "tag1-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag2-backendWithDb-database", "tag2-backendWithDb", "tag2-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag3-blazor", "tag3-blazor-active-node", "tag4-yarp", "tag4-yarp-active-node" ] } Than I do the following command : Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri "$baseurl/distributedtask/deploymentgroups/$($DGid)/targets?api-version=6.0-preview.1" -Credential $cred -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType 'Application/json' But then I get an error like this : Invoke-RestMethod: { "$id": "1", "innerException": null, "message": "Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: machinesToUpdate", "typeName": "System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib", "typeKey": "ArgumentNullException", "errorCode": 0, "eventId": 0 } The problem is that the document is not specifying any parameter named 'machinesToUpdate'. What is it that I am missing here?Setting up Code Coverage data in Azure DevOps Pipeline, C# .NET 9
Hello everyone, I would like some assistance with my Azure DevOps pipeline. I am trying to set up Tasks in my Azure DevOps pipeline to collect Code Coverage results, after running UTs using the VsTest Task, to then have a Powershell Task in the Pipeline write to a SQL db the contents of those metrics. The main issue I am encountering is actually finding the published results after the UTs successfully run. I have set up Tasks to publish the results, then find them & then insert, but the publish doesn't seem to actually publish to the directory I specify, or if it does publish, I cannot see where to. Here are the Tasks I currently have set-up. Task to run UTs: steps: - task: VSTest@2 displayName: 'VsTest - testAssemblies' inputs: testAssemblyVer2: | **\$(BuildConfiguration)\*\*test*.dll !**\obj\** runSettingsFile: '$/B3API/Main/B3API.Tests/codecoverage.runsettings' runInParallel: true runTestsInIsolation: false codeCoverageEnabled: true platform: '$(BuildPlatform)' configuration: '$(BuildConfiguration)' failOnMinTestsNotRun: true codecoverage.runsettings file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RunSettings> <DataCollectionRunSettings> <DataCollectors> <DataCollector friendlyName="Code Coverage"> <Configuration> <Format>cobertura</Format> </Configuration> </DataCollector> </DataCollectors> </DataCollectionRunSettings> </RunSettings> Task to publish results: steps: - task: PublishCodeCoverageResults@2 displayName: 'Publish code coverage results' inputs: summaryFileLocation: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage.cobertura.xml' pathToSources: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage' Task to find published file & store into variable: steps: - powershell: | $coverageFile = "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage.cobertura.xml" [xml]$coverageData = Get-Content $coverageFile $coveragePercentage = $coverageData.coverage.@line-rate # Store the coverage data in a variable Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=coveragePercentage]$coveragePercentage" displayName: 'Store Coverage in variable' The main issue it the Task to publish, it does not publish the results, I think it is due to not finding them in the first place. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!dynamic pipeline and deployments with approvals
I am looking to create a multistage YAML pipeline in Azure DevOPS that: * Dynamically generates jobs based on the value(s) of a variable from a previous step (e.g., host names). * Ensures that each dynamically created job includes its own approval step, either through ManualApproval@0 or via an environment. The challenge I am facing is that while "strategy: matrix" allows for the dynamic creation of build jobs, this strategy is not permitted for deployments, which are necessary for implementing approval steps. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?Get content from text file and save it into a variable - Azure YML

Bicep Error While Integration API Management with Function App
Team, We are trying to automate the deployment of Azure Function App with Azure API Management so that when there is a schema change, we dont have to manually update the APIM with the functionApp schema changes. Our API Management and Function App are inside different resource groups, but inside the same subscription. I have a main.bicep file withe following relevant parts. main.bicep targetScope = 'resourceGroup' parameter definisions Modules defined inside the bicep file like this module functionapp 'modules/funcapp.bicep' = { name: 'funappDeploy' params: { tags: tags location: location application: application environment: environment instrumentationKey: appinsight.outputs.instrumentationKey storageAccountName: storageaccount.outputs.storageAccountName functionSubNetId: networking.outputs.functionSubnetId appInsightsConSting: appinsight.outputs.appInsightsConSting } } module apimanagement 'modules/apimanagement.bicep' = { name: 'apimdeploy' params: { application: application environment: environment } } API Management resource is already existing and API's including my relevant API is deployed inside. This was done early without automation. And here is my apimanagement.bicep targetScope = 'resourceGroup' param environment string param application string = 'gcob-ncino' var apimName = 'apim-rxx-${application}-${environment}' var resourceGroupName = 'rg-rxx-apim-${application}-${environment}' resource apiManagement 'Microsoft.ApiManagement/service@2024-05-01' existing = { name: apimName scope: resourceGroup(resourceGroupName) } resource apimApi 'Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apis@2024-05-01' = { name: 'yourApimApiName' parent: apiManagement properties: { name: 'risk-rating' // This is the API name within APIM path: '/' // The base path for this API displayName: 'risk-rating' } } resource apimBackend 'Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/backends@2024-05-01' = { name: 'my-function-app' parent: apiManagement properties: { protocol: 'https' // Or https url: 'azfun-my-dev.azurewebsites.net' } } resource apimApiBackendLink 'Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apis/backends@2021-08-01' = { name: 'my-function-app-link' parent: apimApi properties: { backendId: apimBackend.id } } While deploying through the Azure DevOps, I see the below error in the pipeline. A resource's computed scope must match that of the Bicep file for it to be deployable. This resource's scope is computed from the "scope" property value assigned to ancestor resource "apiManagement". You must use modules to deploy resources to a different scope. [https://aka.ms/bicep/core-diagnostics#BCP165] Can someone suggest, how to fix this problem? Thanks DD
Get Root Path Area ID [Azure Devops Extension]
Hi, I am developing an extension for Azure Devops. The extensions aims to render content on the work item page depending on the work item's area path ID. I managed to retrieve the available area path IDs using the Extension API: import { getClient } from "azure-devops-extension-api"; const witClient = getClient(WorkItemTrackingRestClient); const rootPath = await witClient.getClassificationNode(project!.name, TreeStructureGroup.Areas, '', 20) This returns all available Area Paths (until depth 20) for the current project. Example: ID=4, NAME='\proj_name\Area' ID=5, NAME='\proj_name\Area\custom-area' ID=6, NAME='\proj_name\Area\custom-area\sub1' However I recognized that the very root Area Path (lowest ID) does not correspond to the actual Root Area Path ID of the project. When I create a work item and assign it to the default root Area, and retrieve the work item's Area Path ID by const areaPathID = workItemFormService.getFieldValue("System.AreaID") the actual returned ID is 2. It seems to be always the lowest readable ID subtracted by 2 across different projects. When listing the Area Path IDs as a column in a query, ID=2 is also shown instead of ID=4. Is there a way to read the actual root Area Path ID and why does the reading it differ from the actual ID?How to delete pipeline tags with special characters?
I want to delete specific tags attached to Azure pipeline builds, for example "hello: world". I've come to the conclusion that the ADO REST API endpoint for handling Tag deletions cannot parse special characters in the URL's slug i.e. colons and whitespaces. According to the docs here, the tag should be specified in the URL slug, followed by query string parameters if applicable. I tried the following: 1. If I insert the tag directly into the URL it will look like this: https://dev.azure.com/organisation/project/_apis/build/builds/1234567/tags/hello: world?api-version=7.1 This returns: "Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request)." 2. But if I encode my slug using `[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($tag)`, the URL looks like this: https://dev.azure.com/organisation/project/_apis/build/builds/1234567/tags/hello%3a+world?api-version=7.1 This returns "Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found)." So it seems the encoding might have worked, although it appears to be searching for a tag without decoding the URL first? Does anyone know if there is a way for deleting tags with special characters? I have over 1600+ tags that need to be deleted so manually doing this through the UI would not be a viable option. EDIT: I just realised the documentation has a small note saying: This API will not work for tags with special characters. To remove tags with special characters, use the PATCH method instead (in 6.0+) Tried the PATCH method instead of DELETE and still not working. And there's no examples provided in the docs.Azure Function managed identity is raising this error "Access Denied"

It seems I use all the needed settings.
