🚀 Azure pipelines promote artifact version build task

A plugin for azure devops build pipelines to allow the automatic promotion of packages as part of a build/release automation.

Example yaml config

- task: promote-artifact-version@1
  inputs:
    packageName: '@donalfenwick/my-test-pkg'
    packageFeedName: 'df-package-feed'
    packageVersion: '1.0.0'
    viewName: 'Release'

Building the project

Install npm packages

npm install

Build the task with webpack

npm run build

Running the task localy

The task can be run localy but first you must set a few environment variables that would normally come from the azure devops environment.

Populate inputs before running task

Set environment vars to simulate input from the YAML file

$env:INPUT_PACKAGENAME="@mypackage/packagename"
$env:INPUT_PACKAGEFEEDNAME="feedname"
$env:INPUT_PACKAGEVERSION="1.2.0"
$env:INPUT_VIEWNAME="Release"

Set an envionment variable for your personal access token (generated from the azure portal). This is only required for running localy, a short lived token is automatically generated when running in the pipeline itself.

$env:ENDPOINT_AUTH_PARAMETER_SYSTEMVSSCONNECTION_ACCESSTOKEN="<PAT>"

Run the task

cd dist/promote-artifact-version
node ./index.js

Generating a VISX package for upload to azure deops

Increment version

npm version {major/minor/patch}

Create build with new version number

npm run build

Generate VISX package in the dist dir

npm run package
