Extension compatibility

[vl787]

We loaded this extension in our on-prem environment (tfs 2015 update 2) but it does not show up. Does this work for on-prem or just VSTS?

Hi @UPStroll, and thank you for reporting this issue!

I apologize for my answer's delay, I've been a little bit busy last days...

I'm investigating your issue, which seems to be the same as #10.
In fact, I cannot install anymore our extension on a fresh VSTS account neither, so I think it is not related to the TFS compatibility, but rather a regression with the last published version, or a change in the MarketPlace.

I am trying to publish a new version and see what is going on, I'll let you know when I'll find a resolution!

[asiffermann]

We can't figure why #10 is happening now, and I must admit that I would like to see it fixed first before investigating if your issue is on-prem specific or not...
I just reported the installation issue to Microsoft, I'll let you know when I'll get an answer!

Sorry for the inconvenience :(

[asiffermann]

I just published a new version on the marketplace that I could install on a fresh VSTS account.
Do you mind letting me know if you can install it too on your TFS?

Thank you!

Hello,

I also work with UPS Trolls and have tried to install the extension on my TFS, it is still not showing up, could it be due to it being on prem vs VSTS?

Hi @vinimehta, and thank you for the update!

There should be no reason for our extension not being installed on On-Prem TFS.

As I do not have a server to test it at the moment, could you give me some extra informations on the behavior? Could you download and then upload it? Or maybe you could even install it on a collection? Do you have any error message or failed HTTP request that could be revealed in your browser's Developer tools?

At the same time, I'll install a VM with an On-Prem TFS and will try to reproduce your issue as soon as possible, but the more information you can provide to me, the faster I could solve this issue :)

Hey @asiffermann, so we can go as far as downloading it on my box, uploading it, and installing it. we get no errors! However, when we go on to the task window for build and release and apply the tasks attached to the extension, it does not show up? maybe we miss something in the download and it could be a user error? hope this helps!

Thanks in advance,
Vini

[asiffermann]

Thank you for your quick reply :)

Wow, that's a very strange behavior...
I am currently downloading a fresh VM with TFS 2015 Update 2 installed on it, this may take a while, I'll update you as soon as possible!

[vinimehta]

Haha, yes! we are not sure why its doing that.

thank you so much :)

Hello,

Just wanted to follow up and check if you found anything out about our issue?

[sandorfr]

@vinimehta to help narrow down the issue can you try to install any of our other extension and tell us is the problem remains the same?

[vinimehta]

@sandorfr I downloaded the file patch build and release extension and that seems to be working for us.

Thank you,
Vini

[sandorfr]

Thanks @vinimehta looks like this is related to issue #10 which won't be fix anytime soon on premise I guess.

@asiffermann I guess we'll have to remove azcopy task from this extension and spawn a new one :(

[vinimehta]

@sandorfr @asiffermann I don't know if this will help or not, but we tried adding other Azure extensions and those are the ones we are having an issue with?

[asiffermann]

@vinimehta I can reproduce your installation issue on On-Prem TFS... :( What are the other Azure extensions did you try to install?

I'm investigating if it is related to #10 or not trying to install a version of our extension without the AzCopy task.
