Build Results Service

[kdelorey]

In an attempt to add a new tab to the build results page using the ms.vss-build-web.build-results-view target and ms.vss-build-web.build-results-tab type I found that there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve contextual information about a build that a user is viewing.

There is a IBuidPageData service, but it does not work on the build results view. If I try an manually try and grab the build ID (to use with the REST client) out of the parent window's URL I'll get a cross-site origin error.

Can something be added to retrieve build result information?

I'm having this same issue. @kdelorey did you manage to find any work arounds?

[kdelorey]

@NickHeap2 I did not unfortunately, and I had to move on to other things. I'll be very interested to know if you find anything out.

If anyone is looking for a workaround (this still has not been fixed), I used this ugly hack that works for some reason:

const config = SDK.getConfiguration();

// ugly, onBuildChanged has magic callback to return BuildReference, this is not documented anywhere
config.onBuildChanged(async (build: BuildReference) => {
    console.trace("Current build is {0}", build);
}
