Agent Capabilties to Variables

Convert Azure DevOps agent capabilties into pipeline variables.

Dependencies

The sample repository depends on a few Azure DevOps packages:

• azure-devops-extension-sdk: Required module for Azure DevOps extensions which allows communication between the host page and the extension iframe.
• azure-devops-extension-api: Contains REST client libraries for the various Azure DevOps feature areas.
• azure-devops-task-lib: Library used for performing task operations.

Some external dependencies:

• TypeScript - Samples are written in TypeScript and complied to JavaScript

Building the sample project

Just run:

npm run build

This produces a .vsix file which can be uploaded to the Visual Studio Marketplace

Using the extension

The preferred way to get started is to use the tfx extension init command which will clone from this sample and prompt you for replacement information (like your publisher id). Just run:

npm install -g tfx-cli
tfx extension init

You can also clone the sample project and change the publisher property in azure-devops-extension.json to your own Marketplace publisher id. Refer to the online documentation for setting up your own publisher and publishing an extension.
