AzurePipelinesPS

A PowerShell module that makes interfacing with Azure Pipelines a bit easier.

Installing

The module can be installed for the PSGalley by running the command below.

Install-Module AzurePipelinesPS -Repository PSGallery

Managing Session Data

Creating a Session

$splat = @{
    Collection          = 'myCollection'
    Project             = 'myProject'
    Instance            = 'https://dev.azure.com/'
    PersonalAccessToken = 'myPersonalAccessToken'
    Version             = 'vNext'
    SessionName         = 'mySession'
}
New-APSession @splat

Saving a Session

Saved session data will persist on disk, it can be retrieved by Get-APSession.

$sessions = Get-APSession
$sessions | Save-APSession

Removing a Session

$sessions = Get-APSession
$sessions | Remove-APSession

Authentication

If a personal access token is provided in the session data it will be used to authenticate by default unless a credential is supplied. If neither a personal access token or a credential is provided the module will attempt to authenticate with default credentials. Default credentials only work for on premise. See the 'Create personal access tokens to authenticate access' article for a walk through on how to create a personal access token.

Pipeline Invocation Functions

Write-APLogMessage, Set-APVariable, Set-APTaskResult, Set-APBuildNumber and Set-APReleaseName are all functions that wrap the Azure Pipelines VSO Commands. I use Write-APLogMessage to handle all warnings and errors in my scripts that run within an Azure DevOps pipeline. The function is a wrapper for the VSO command so the warnings and errors are displayed correctly with in the task log as well as in the task results. I then use Set-APTaskResult to return the appropriate task results back to the pipeline logs to fail or succeeded the pipeline. Set-APTaskResults also supports the SucceededWithIssues results, this comes in handy if you want to continue the release pipeline but still receive a warning that something did not succeed completely.

Development

Build Status

Pending Work

During development, if a function is not ready to be published as part of the module build, you can append the suffix '.Pending'. It will be considered a work in progress, the build process will ignore it and so will the repository.

Versioning

Versioning of the module will happen automatically as part of Invoke-Build. If the build is not invoked from the project's Azure Pipeline the version will persist 1.0 for development.

Building

Run the build script in the root of the project to install dependent modules and start the build
