generator-team is a Yeoman generator that creates a complete CI/CD pipeline in Team Foundation Server or Visual Studio Team Services for the following languages:
It allows you to deploy to the following platforms:
npm install yo
npm install generator-team
Yo team is written in such a manner that it will prompt you for variables it needs if they were not passed as paramaters.
Interactive usage: yo team
, this wil run all the yo team functionality in interactive mode.
The team generator uses smaller generators to do the brunt work
If you want to use yo team in a more fine grained way, you can discover the underlying generators using the yo --generators
command the output typically looks like
> yo --generators
Available Generators:
team
asp
aspFull
azure
build
docker
feed
git
java
k8s
node
nuget
pipeline
powershell
profile
project
registry
release
If you want use yo team from the commandline, you can discover the parameters that are needed to call a subgenerator by using -h e.g.: yo team:project -h
IMPORTANT: the organization name (-tfs parameter) must be the namepart of the organization as used in the url (i.e. dev.azure.com/ORGANIZATION/) not the full URL!
For example: if you only want to create a project in Azure DevOps you can call
yo team:project --applicationName $projectName --tfs $organizationName --pat $azureDevOpsPersonalAccessToken
If you want to add a pipeline to the create project, you can use
yo team:pipeline --applicationName $projectName --tfs $organizationName --pat $azureDevOpsPersonalAccessToken --type $appType --queue $agentQueue --target $deployTarget --azureSubId $azureSubscriptionId --servicePrincipalId $servicePrincipleID --servicePrincipalKey $servicePrincipalKey --azureSub $azureSubscriptionName --tenantId $azureAdTenantId
The -appType
parameter describes the kind of App you want to create (it's also the name of a generator):

npm test
You can debug the generator using VS Code. You need to update the launch.json. Replace any value in [] with your information. Use npm link from the root folder to load your local version.

Does not require Docker Host when Hosted Ubuntu Agent is selected.
Node sub generator changes
Merge Pull Request from Maxime Eglem which included the following:
Support for PowerShell Modules using Package Management and PowerShell Gallery. This is only supported on VSTS at this time. The build will run on hosted macOS, Linux and Windows agents. The release will run on selected agent during prompts.
Merge Pull Request from Joseph Van Wagner which included the following:
Set skipindexing to true in .net builds.
Updated code to find profile by name for VSTS even if the profile name does not match the VSTS account name.
Got all tests passing on macOS, Linux and Windows.
Updated all the dependencies. Dropped support for TFS 2017 Update 2. Only update 3.1 is supported.
Added support to read profiles from VSTeam Module. Only profiles of type Pat are supported. If you enter a profile name of type OnPremise you will still be prompted for a Pat.
Added Profile sub generator to Add, List and Delete profiles.
Upgraded .NET Core to 2.0.
Now Supports Deployment slots with App Service.
Now supports Azure Container Instances. You can read how to find the public IP in my blog post Yo Team, meet Azure Container Instances.

Java, Node.js & .NET Core
Release Defs
General
Updated the Azure Resource Manager Service Endpoints to work with the Azure Portal Continuous Delivery feature. Fixed bug in Azure sub generator that asked for information not needed when using VSTS.
Fixed some issues with TFS after locking versions for VSTS. Some of the build templates were used for both and locking versions caused issues on TFS.
Added Full .NET Framework support but only for Azure App Service.
Locked Tasks to specific version. This will prevent auto updates from breaking builds and releases.
Changed release template for PaaS to include Web Performance Test.
Changed release to default to latest version of build for manual releases.
Changed ARM templates to add unique string after Website Name. This will help make sure final website URL is globally unique.
ASP sub generator only supports .net core 1.0 RC2. RC 3 and above switched to CSPROJ. yo Team uses hosted agents as lowest common denominator and we will update as soon as CSPROJ is supported on hosted agents.
Fixed a bug in the App Service deployment after adding ACR support.
Has breaking changes from previous version. Removed the email parameter for Docker Registries and added support for Azure Container Registry. Now you can use Docker Hub or Azure Container Registry.
Improved build names from just build id to build definition name plus build id
Added User-Agent Header to request so calls could be identified by VSTS Team telemetry.
