Generate release notes for the other repos

[Karthickvr]

Hi there,

Thanks for this awesome extension.
Btw, we have the scenario of having multiple repos and using the multi stage yaml pipeline in separate repo for building the latest artifacts from the above said different repos.

The problem is that the release notes generator extention is not fetching the related work items from all these multiple repos but it is only retrieving the work items from the current release management repo where the multi stage yaml pipeline is running.

Would it be possible to pass the repo names list to the release generator extension, that will list all the work items related to that repo and that branch rather only retrieving from the current working branch?

Appreciate your appropriate response and much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rishi

It should be possible, hopefully it can be done by looking up the consumed resources, no need for a manual list

I will have a think and get back to you.

I have been thinking about this issue and what could be done. So @Karthickvr could you provide some sample YAML to make sure I have the right understanding of your workflow.

The issue is I have been considering different options

• The workflow uses multiple uses: actions/checkout@v2, then do all the builds in the workflow
• Look at doing individual builds that produce artefacts and then pull them together into a 'central' workflow

I think I need to handle both if possible. But I assume you are using the first option
