Process

Prerequisites

• An OpenAI API Key
• Build Administrators must be given "Contribute to pull requests" access. Check this Stack Overflow answer for guidance on setting up permissions.

Getting Started

1. Install the PRIA DevOps Extension

   Install the PRIA DevOps extension from the Azure DevOps Marketplace.

2. Create a PRIA Code Review Pipeline

   Create an Azure DevOps Pipeline using the following YAML snippet to set up the PRIA code review task:

   trigger:
     branches:
       exclude:
         - '*'
   
   pr:
     branches:
       include:
         - '*'
   
   jobs:
     - job: CodeReview
       pool:
         vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
       steps:
         - checkout: self
           persistCredentials: true
         - task: PRIA@1
           inputs:
             api_key: $(OpenAI_ApiKey)

3. Configure your Main Branch for Build Validation

Cofigure Azure DevOps Build Validation to use PRIA Code Review Pipeline created above as a build validation pipeline.

Build & Publish

1. Install Prequisites
2. Run npm install -g typescript to install TypeScript
3. Run tsc.cmd from .\pr-inspection-assistant\src\ to build the solution
4. Run tfx extension create --manifest-globs vss-extension.json from .\pr-inspection-assistant\ to package the solution
