CI/CD pipeline for microservice.
Hi All, We are new to Azure DevOps and start managing our project and planning to have CI/CD pipeline from our microservice. We are planning to have the below flow for each service: 1. Whenever the main branch is updated, run the Azure Pipeline (Build/Test/Review) 2. If Build succeeded, decide whether to deploy the changes on UAT by running the UAT Release pipeline manually. 3. Test on UAT. If everything works fine then ready to deploy on Production. 4. Create a release tag for the particular commit for which we created the build and tested it on UAT. 5. Run the Production Release pipeline manually to deploy the release on Production env. Is our flow correct? Please give us suggestions. We also have some questions: 1. Do we create branches for Releases or use tags? And when to create it, before deploying to UAT or after deploying on UAT? (Note: we are not sure whether we will deploy the changes to production immediately after deployment and testing on UAT, there may be a possibility that we will add some more features to the on UAT and then deploy on Production). 2. Should we create and push Docker Image in the Azure pipeline or Release pipeline? And how many image tags should we create? (say one with the release tag and one with the latest tag). Thanks Saurabh
azure devops work item duplicates when inserting csv
I am moving from one ADO Board to another. So I have downloaded the CSV from the old board via queries and tried uploading. For all items which arent 'New' I have to manually edit which I have accepted will be a manual effort. The main problem is for every workitem which is 'new' and doesn't have an error duplicates itself. This is the same case for all 'new' work items. Sometimes it can be duplicated 8 times. How do I stop the duplicatesThe default azure-pipelines.yml is broken
Create a new project. Create an azure repo and clone it with ssh. Run go mod init and create a main.go file in the cloned repo. Commit and push the changes. Create a pipeline using your repo. An azure-pipelines.yml is created as shown below. Run the new pipeline. It gives the error below. My go.mod has go 1.19 and if I change the .yml to 1.19 it gives the same error with /usr/local/go1.19. How do I fix this, and where do I file a bug against the Pipeline default .yml file? 2022-11-01T03:06:15.6247802Z [command]/usr/bin/bash --noprofile --norc /home/vsts/work/_temp/d62a4714-ede5-408d-9b1f-efbae06e65a3.sh 2022-11-01T03:06:15.6248305Z go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go1.11 2022-11-01T03:06:15.6248734Z go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go1.11 2022-11-01T03:06:15.6249112Z go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go1.11 2022-11-01T03:06:15.6282871Z ##[error]Bash exited with code '2'.

Visual Studio Sign In Issues (Restricted IE)
Hi, Does anyone know how to get around the VS sign in issue when your organisation restrict the use of Internet Explorer for external sites? I get a blank screen as connection is blocked. Changing the default brower in VS doesnt seem to effect the sign page either. ThanksDevOps Wiki: How to enable download of attachment
Hello, I do have a git based wiki in ADO with the following structure: | ---- REAGME.md | ---- .attachments | ---- config.xml Within README.md I want to reference config.xml in a way that: 1. enforces the file to be downloaded and not opened 2. ensures a meaningful file name proposal for the download For "common" markdown this would be something like: ... [Config](./.attachments/config.xml?download=true&name=config.xml) ... unfortunately ADO performs some URL-encoding to this relative link and tries to find a file named: - ./attachments/config.xml%3Fdownload%3Dtrue%26name%3Dconfig.xml This file cannot be found (why should it, such a file does not exist) My questions are: 1. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to make the attachment downloadable 2. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to define the attachments name Exclusion: - The answer "Use an absolute link like https://..../" is not an option as no-one will ever be able to maintain this across multiple branches Thank you in advance 😉
Adding CodeReview and Feedback WorkItems
Hi guys, I pretty new to Azure DevOps and working with agile process. I checked the documentation from Microsoft how to set up my project in DevOps and how to add work items etc. But I'm struggeling now how to track everything good in our development process. Basically I want to have I my agile process something like a code review and feedback/test item. And I the documentation from microsoft they talk about this types of work items. But how can I add this to my project? I don't have a selection for that when I add a new work item.   Can anybody help and explain how this works? Thx 😊 Flo
Help with Burnup / Burndown ?
I'm trying to build a burnup or burndown by feature. I know that's not a native feature in ADO right now, so I built it using tags. Even though most of the stories were written (and some completed) well in advance of May 17, I created the tag on the 17th, and it appears they're being plotted against the last changed date. Am I doing something wrong, or is this known behavior?Mult-subscription Terraform deployment and Azure DevOps Service Connections
While it is understood that Terraform templates can facilitate multi-subscription deployment through the 'alias' concept, as outlined in the documentation https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/subscription#example-usage---creating-a-new-alias-and-subscription-for-an-enrollment-account, how does this integration function within the framework of Azure DevOps pipelines? To illustrate, consider the scenario where you aim to execute the 'terraform apply' command for a template using AZ CLI, deploying resources across multiple subscriptions. AZ CLI requires a service connection object mapped to a specific Azure subscription, leading to deployment failures in other subscriptions, even if the same service connection has access. Is there a better approach to address this issue or what is the recommendation in terms of creating service connections so that such template deployment could work?
