[Request] Azure DevOps Extension

[guyacosta]

We (Microsoft) have decided recently not to pursue creating a Devops extension but @SebastianSchuetze has agreed to write one separately for it. Note there is a Github action that we recently released here https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInspector-action. You can reach out to @SebastianSchuetze directly for additional information on the timing.

[guyacosta]

Great idea. Have one started but not published. TBD.

[gfs]

This should be trivial now.

Ensure you have .NET Core 3.1 SDK.

dotnet tool install --global Microsoft.CST.ApplicationInspector.CLI

AppInspector [args]

[SebastianSchuetze]

thanks @gfs . But I meant when developing the extension can start. I had several calls with @guyacosta to discuss that I help with the extension.
Build tasks can be created also with PowerShell for windows based OSs. But cross platform agents need nodejs for sure.

Good to hear from you again -wanted to give you some time off for life event change we talked about and we needed some focus time to wrap up some priority work that completes this week. Let's talk after 1st of June. I'll put it on the calendar.

[SebastianSchuetze]

@guyacosta I might help if you have something I can participate. I created some pipeline extensions myself and this could be part of it.

[guyacosta]

@Sebastion. Apologies on the delayed response. Send me your contact info to discuss by connecting with me on LinkedIn.

[SebastianSchuetze]

@guyacosta connection request is sent.

[guyacosta]

Updates to follow. Connecting with Sebastian this week.

[guyacosta]

@SebastionSchuetze -nice talking offline. Have invited your assistance to take it up and opening now any any takers? If not, will add it to our queue.

[SebastianSchuetze]

let's do it!

[guyacosta]

This is in progress. Updates soon.

[SebastianSchuetze]

@guyacosta any updates on how / when we should proceed?

[gfs]

@SebastianSchuetze it looks like pipeline extensions have to be written in Node.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/extend/develop/add-build-task?view=azure-devops

For now you can use this in your pipeline.yml file

- task: UseDotNet@2
      inputs:
        packageType: 'sdk'
        version: '3.1.x'

- script: 'dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.CST.ApplicationInspector.CLI'
      displayName: 'Install Application Inspector'

- script: 'AppInspector [args]'
      displayName: 'Run Application Inspector'

@guyacosta Any updates on the Azure Devops extension?

[SebastianSchuetze]

@Jayp0weru5r I will soon create one. I think I will take the Github action as a start.
