TfsCmdlets Release Notes

Version 2.0.0-beta.11 (21/Jan/2020)

Improvements

New cmdlets: Enter-TfsShell, Exit-TfsShell, Get-TfsVersion, Invoke-TfsRestApi

The new Enter-TfsShell and Exit-TfsShell cmdlets streamline the invocation of the "Azure DevOps Shell" mode. When invoked, shows a banner with the module version and activates the custom console prompt. The custom prompt displays the currently connected Azure DevOps org/server.

Invoke-TfsRestApi can be used to streamline calls to the Azure DevOps REST API for scenarios/APIs not yet covered by TfsCmdlets.

Lastly, Get-TfsVersion returns version information on a given team project collection / organization. Currently, only Azure DevOps Services organizations are supported. Support for TFS and Azure DevOps Server will be added in a future release.

Convert work item query-related cmdlets (*-TfsWorkItemQuery, *-TfsWorkItemQueryFolder) to REST API

In the process, they've been generalized and converted to aliases to their new "generic" counterparts (*-TfsWorkItemQueryItem), much like the Area/Iteration cmdlets.

Convert PowerShell Format/Types XML files (*.Format.ps1xml, *.Types.ps1xml) to YAML

Now both TfsCmdlets.Types.ps1xml and TfsCmdlets.Format.ps1xml files are generated during build time from YAML files with ps1xmlgen. That offers a much better experience to edit/mantain PowerShell's type/format XML files.

Argument completers

This improvement is way overdue, but now we have the first set of argument completers. Any cmdlets with the arguments -Server, -Collection and -Project can be "Tab-completed".

New aliases for Connect-* cmdlets

Now, to connect to a Azure DevOps (or TFS) collection/organization/project/team you can use optionally use one of the aliases below:

  • Connect-TfsConfigurationServer
    • ctfssvr
  • Connect-TfsTeamProjectCollection
    • Connect-AzdoOrganization
    • Connect-TfsOrganization
    • ctfs
  • Connect-TfsTeamProject
    • ctfstp
  • Connect-TfsTeam
    • ctfsteam

  • Fix classification node (area/iteration) retrieval for old APIs (0df3616)

Known issues

  • Incremental build is currently disabled in the default Visual Studio Code Build task, as it's a bit inconsistent.
