Pulumi Installer Task for Azure DevOps Pipelines

This task is for installing the Pulumi cli on Azure DevOps Agents.

Local Development

Prerequisites

There are a few tools that need to be installed prior to local development

• Node.js
• Npm
• tslint
• typescript
• tfx-cli (for publishing)

Setup

• run npm install in the buildAndReleaseTask folder.
• set 2 variables required to run the task
  • agent.ToolsDirectory - Location to store the pulumi cli
  • agent.TempDirectory - Location for temporary download/extract files for the task.
• run npm build and npm start from the buildAndReleaseTask to compile the typescript and start the task.

Alternatively there is a launch.json in the .vscode folder which can be used to start F5 debugging for vs code. This contains a default folder path for the tools and temporary directories.

Publishing Task

Make sure you have built and compiled from the previous step.

• From the root folder, run npm run package to build, increment version and create the vsix file.
• Run tfx login to authenticate using a PAT token. This requires Publish Marketplace Images permissions.
• run tfx extension publish --vsix $PATH_TO_VSIX to publish to the marketplace.
