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 thehttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/build/tags/delete-build-tag?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1, 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 DevOps Pipelines: Discovering the Ideal Service Connection Strategy
