Dev Home GitHub Extension overview

Please take a few minutes to review the overview below before diving into the code:

Widgets

The Dev Home GitHub Extension provides widgets for Dev Home's dashboard, which is built as a Windows widget renderer. These widgets are built using the Windows widget platform, which relies on Adaptive Cards.

Machine configuration repository recommendations

The machine configuration tool utilizes the Dev Home GitHub Extension to recommend repositories to clone, but isn't required to clone and install apps. The app installation tool is powered by winget.

Documentation

Documentation for the Dev Home GitHub Extension can be found at https://aka.ms/devhomedocs.

Contributing

We are excited to work alongside you, our amazing community, to build and enhance the Dev Home GitHub Extension!

BEFORE you start work on a feature/fix, please read & follow our Contributor's Guide to help avoid any wasted or duplicate effort.

Communicating with the team

The easiest way to communicate with the team is via GitHub issues.

Please file new issues, feature requests and suggestions, but DO search for similar open/closed preexisting issues before creating a new issue.

If you would like to ask a question that you feel doesn't warrant an issue (yet), please reach out to us via Twitter:

• Kayla Cinnamon, Senior Product Manager: @cinnamon_msft
• Clint Rutkas, Principal Product Manager: @clintrutkas

Developer guidance

• You must be running Windows 11 21H2 (build >= 10.0.22000.0) to run Dev Home
• You must enable Developer Mode in the Windows Settings app

Building the code

• Clone the repository
• Uninstall the Preview version of the Dev Home GitHub Extension (Dev Home has a hard time choosing which extension to use if two versions exist)
• Open GitHubExtension.sln in Visual Studio 2022 or later and build from the IDE, or run build\scripts\build.ps1 from a Visual Studio command prompt.

OAuth App

Since secrets cannot be checked in to the repository, developers must create their own test OAuth app for local tests.

Follow this link https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app to create a Git OAuth app (with RedirectUri = "devhome://oauth_redirect_uri/").

The OAuth App ClientId and ClientSecret can be added as environment variables using the following instructions:

On an elevated cmd window:
    setx GITHUB_CLIENT_ID "Your OAuth App's ClientId" /m
    setx GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET "Your OAuth App's ClientSecret" /m

Steps to reproduce the bug

Description
Have a widget setup and working. In my case it was the PR widget pointing to microsoft/devhom.
From widget's menu on dashboard click->Customize

Result:
It pops up and lets you change things. BUT the field is the blank default, instead of what you'd already entered. Or a fully qualified URL of what you entered originally.

Expect:
What I had there in the first place.

The current behavior is a workaround since there is no way to currently do what is expected. We need to work with the Widget Platform team and ask them for an API.

GitHub "mentioned me" widget displays oldest instead of newest

Other software

OS Build Version: 10.0.22621.1702.amd64fre.ni_release.220506-1250
.NET Version: .NET 6.0.16

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Add Widget
• GitHub "mentioned me"
• Pin the widget

My expectation is it would show most recent mentions instead it's showing oldest ones. It's displaying data from 2017 instead of 2023. There are many many thousands of mentions for me in GitHub. If it's showing the oldest that's not useful.

Expected result

Either

• Show newest
• Let me clear the existing list so I can see mentions moving froward.

Actual result

It shows oldest mentions, not newest.

Description
After authorizing the dev home GitHub app, the redirect sends you to a devhome:// URI. Both DevHome and GitHub extension register the protocol, and Windows is asking me which one to choose. This is confusing to me as the user; I'm not sure which one should be chosen and I think I chose the wrong one the first time (DevHome seems to be blocking on this callback).

PS: You can create a Feedback Hub URI that sets the category for the user, preventing some mistakes.

Add GitHub project widget with sort and filter

Suggested new feature or improvement

Please allow me to add a widget that specifies a GitHub project.
Add a filter field
Add a sort field (ascending or descending)

Scenario

I am working on a project that covers multiple repositories. I would like to add a "Project" widget that filters by @previous, @current, or @next iteration. Then, would allow me to sort by the added "start date" column.

Additional details

I have too many issues assigned to me in too many repositories to make "Issues" or "Repository" widgets useful.

My organizational levels of work are Project > Iteration > Issue (start date)

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Login with GitHub
2. Open Windows Widgets Panel (Win + W)
3. Click on the + button
4. Add widgets of Dev Home GitHub Extension (such as 'Assigned to me' or 'Pull requests')
5. Complete the widget setup. (For 'Assigned to me', click on Submit, and for 'Pull requests', click on Next after entering the repo URL)

Expected result

For the example widgets mentioned above, both 'Assigned to me' and 'Pull requests' should display lists.

Actual result

'Assigned to me' only displays the GitHub username and an icon without any list below. 'Pull requests' gets stuck on the loading text. Also, I would expect icons to be smaller as they appear larger than how they are displayed on the Dashboard page in the app.

Dev Home Github OAuth app should be updated to Modern app

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently Dev Home uses a GitHub OAuth app. Per jeffwilcox in https://github.com/microsoft/github-operations/issues/252 , the Github Modern app is more appropriate for better app management.

This does not block any functionality for DevHome currently, but aids in long term management of the Github app.

Scenario when this would be used?

New Widget: Codespaces

Suggested new feature or improvement

Provide a Codespaces widget that lists all of my Codespaces and provides options to connect, stop, delete, create, change name etc.

Scenario

Would use this as a launcher for Codespaces as well as to create new ones quickly

Additional details

Here is a similar widget created for Raycast: https://github.com/jclem/raycast-github Looking for something like this in Dev Home

"Add account" has an odd "GitHub/Sign in" label

Lots of wasted space in this view 😀 I am also not sure if this is meant to be a placeholder for more than just GitHub in the future?

Widget refresh button

Suggested new feature or improvement

It would be nice if I could have a refresh button for my GitHub issues and other dashboard widgets.

Scenario

In the morning I open Dev Home and hit refresh on my GitHub Issues button letting me know all the tickets shown there are up to date and I'm not missing anything.

Additional details

Having this feature would allow me to get a sense of my day without needing to open a browser or the app and viewing each projects dashboard.

Repo pulse widget

Suggested new feature or improvement

I'd love to see a repository pulse widget with metrics like PRs opened, commits, issues opened, total downloads, stars, etc.

Review requested: User vs teams

Suggested new feature or improvement

Currently, the Review Requested widget shows PRs with a request for review to both you directly and to teams you belong to.

I'd like to have the option to display only PRs requesting a review from me dirctly.

Scenario

Some teams I belong to are requested to review a lot of PRs. In order to filter out the noise, I like to only look at PRs that have requested a review from me directly.

Additional details

In GitHub, this is the difference between the filter review-requested:me (me and any teams I belong to) and user-review-requested:me (me directly)

GitHub integration filters

Suggested new feature or improvement

Allow me to filter in my GitHub widgets which organisations to display.

Scenario

It's common to use a single GitHub account for work and personal, when using Dev Home at work, I'd like to be able to filter to view only my work related issues, pull requests etc.

GitHub repo Releases widget

Suggested new feature or improvement

Implementation of the Releases page, showing cards with versions, their tags, and a small description as well as a timestamp on when the release was made

Add a GitHub Contribution Tracker widget

Suggested new feature or improvement

The GitHub app on iOS and Android has a widget that allows you to see your GitHub Contribution table pretty easily while on the home screen so adding it to the Dev Home app will be a no brainer decision.

Scenario

Scenarios that this feature will be used for are:

• Maintaining the developer's motivation and schedule about their coding performance for the day.
• A way for keeping up with the amount commits that the developer should have on his routine.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Description
I am trying to go through the flow to add a new account on this device. Dev Home tells me to check my browser in the background, but it doesn't appear to actually initiate a connection to GitHub so that I can auth.

(The spacing also seems off in the message for that UI, see attached screenshot.)

Expected result

I believe from looking at the repro, there are two issues happening here:
Clicking the sign in button did nothing initially until it was closed and re-opened. I was seeing something similar and I debugged that and it looks like an adaptive cards issue.
Clicking the sign in button does do something and show the wait for browser message, but browser doesn't start up. I briefly saw this when I had multiple Edge browsers installed which I also see is the case in this repro. Using this bug to track that.

let's make sure this isn't the same "extension crashes because it tries to load the asset files" problem. Right now in the store, this is the experience you get on a fresh machine.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Add a issues widget for a random repo, ex. github.com/pester/pester

2. Add Issues widget for another repo using URL with query string.

   • Ex. https://github.com/microsoft/devhomegithubextension/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AArea-Accessibility
   • Or https://github.com/microsoft/devhomegithubextension/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AArea-Widgets

Likely corrupt local cache, but worth a try. Looks like it only occurs when URL has query string.

Expected result

Actual labels for each issue

Actual result

Issue is shown using a label unrelated to the repo. The label belongs to pester/pester-repo that I have in a different issue widget.

The issue should've shown the following labels atm

Also occured with another query string (Area-Widgets label, see steps to reproduce).

Make Review Requested widget editable

Suggested new feature or improvement

I am not happy with the default GitHub 'review requested' widget configuration in DevHome.
I would want a 'review requested && all checks passing && ...' change, as an example.
The generic mechanism could be for entering either an existing URL or query parameters into the widgets, using the same notation as they are used on GitHub web.

Scenario

The GitHub widget would come with a default query, but it would be editable.

Additional details

This is an example of a query I use daily and would love to see as the result of a widget load:

AdaptiveCards Action not getting triggered when trying to add a new GitHub account

Dev Home version

No response

Windows build number

No response

Steps to reproduce the bug

I was looking into 44532648 and there seems to be two issues going on. Splitting out the adaptive cards one into this bug. From my debugging of this, sometimes when the GitHub sign in button is clicked on the adaptive card, the registered action handler lambda (renderedAdaptivecard.Action) is not called. It does seem adaptive cards itself does get called for the click but when it gets to AdaptiveActionInvoker::SendActionEvent, it finds it cannot get a strong reference on the m_weakRenderResult. I am not sure why that is the case. Typically when this happens, closing the adaptive cards window and clicking add account again to open a new adaptative card window resolves it, but it seems to be happening somewhat often.

void AdaptiveActionInvoker::SendActionEvent(winrt::IAdaptiveActionElement const& actionElement)
{
    if (auto strong = peek_innards<winrt::implementation::RenderedAdaptiveCard>(m_weakRenderResult.get()))
    {
        strong->SendActionEvent(actionElement);
    }
}

Ability to display 'created' PRs in the Pull requests widget

Suggested new feature or improvement

Right now in the PR widget you have to attach a specific repo to track. This is an incredibly helpful way to organize PRs within repos, but it'd be really great to also keep track of all the PRs I have 'created' that are still open.

This is a feature that the iOS GitHub widgets have that I find pretty useful.

My suggestion is that we include in this configuration template the choice for users to either input a URL or select to track all 'created' PRs attached to that account that are still open:

Scenario

I can add a Pull requests widget to my dashboard that is not repo specific, but rather shows me all of the open PRs I have across whatever repos I am working on.

Additional details

Need to adjust the Pull requests template here to allow users to choose whether they want to attach a specific repo or if they want to track all PRs across the account.

This can happen if there is a failure retrieving a DeveloperIdProvider instance (under a lock) or even when the resource loader is not properly initialized. There are logging events that would indicate if we failed at retrieval of DeveloperIdProvider or if we ran into an alternate exception (for instance resource loader failure). However, the diagnostics do not contain any relevant information to Dev Home/Dev Home GitHub extension so it is hard to tell.

Though, the content of the failure card can be refined per suggestions in this bug. Here is a PR with proposed changes: Change error message in adaptive card for LoginUI failure by ssparach · Pull Request microsoft/devhome#77 · microsoft/devhomegithubextension

Steps to reproduce the bug

just add a new plugin and w8 for a few minutes , the aplication is open in one of my secondary monitors

Expected result

well the result i w8 to see is that the refresh time do not stop or atlast there is a option to say ho many updates i want every few seconds or many 5 minutes or if they stop after a period of time atlast to have the option to refresh from time to time

Actual result

the plugins after a period of time they do not refresh they stay static and not update the content , the only solution that ive found is to reactualize the plugin in order to pick new information but this is a pain you should add a button to itin the section of plugins

Multiple Accounts

Suggested new feature or improvement

I think that it would be helpful to allow users to connect more than one GitHub account to Dev Home.

Scenario

I have one GitHub account for personal use, as well as one for school. It would be nice to be able to manage activity from both accounts in Dev Home.

[Widgets] Dev Home why is there a Submit/preview option for Assigned/Mentioned widgets but not PRs/Issues?

Steps to reproduce the bug

Description
Go to add a widget, try each option. For Mentioned or Assigned, there's a button that says "Submit" where I can see the widget before I pin it. For Issues/PRs, I have to type in the URL and afterwards I get confirmation I have the right one... but no preview of the widget. Why is this experience so different?

[Widget] General Notifications

Suggested new feature or improvement

I'd like a single widget that has all of my unread github notifications.

Scenario

It would be used the same way as any other widget.

Additional details

Preferably, it should be on feature parity with the mobile view for the Github Notifications
