How to configure multiple inline handlebar functions

[SWarnberg]

Hi,

I've struggling to configure multiple JavaScript functions as inline code in the GenerateReleaseNotes task in my release definition, but it seems it's not supported, or is it?
Having the following code (removed all line breaks too):

customHandlebarsExtensionCode: 'module.exports = { getReleaseModule: function () {return process.env.ReleaseModule;}; getReleaseVersion: function () {return process.env.BUILD_VERSION;};};'

I get either "Unexpected token ;" errors if I have bracket after function, or "Unexpected identifier" if I have not.

Is it not easier to include them as a file?

Try the customHandlebarsExtensionFile parameter

I can answer my own question. I found the problem. The example here https://github.com/rfennell/AzurePipelines/tree/main/SampleTemplates/XplatGenerateReleaseNotes%20(Node%20based)/Version%203#custom-extensions is not correct, at least not for inline scripts. It has to be a comma that separates the functions and not a semicolon.

So it should be as follows?

const handlebars = require("handlebars");
module.exports = {
    count_workitems_by_type: function (array, typeName) {
        return array.filter(wi => wi.fields['System.WorkItemType'] === typeName).length;
    },
    replace_text: function (msg, match, replacement) {
        return msg.replace(match, replacement);
    },
};

Exactly. Except, the last comma after the second function is not needed.

I will update the document. Thanks for pointing it out
