Was referencing here for documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/early-access/github/migrating-with-github-enterprise-importer/running-a-migration-with-github-enterprise-importer/running-a-migration-to-github-enterprise-cloud
It seems very incomplete.
That is referenced by README.md in this repo.
Another thought I had would be to update the share-service-connection
command to validate the name of the connection. Customer used that and found that it just said "the connection already exists", despite generate-script
not being able to see it.
It's either that or require a new flag (--service-connection-id
) when using --rewire-pipelines
, as that will be clearer for the user to understand.
You are correct about the behavior. We definitely need to do a better job in our documentation around this.
Taking another pass over our docs, in particular ADO -> GH docs is something that I'm hoping to do soon, there's alot of room for improvement there.
Description
I don't so much know if this is a bug, as it is a lack of documentation. Trying to utilize the
ado2gh generate-script
command with--rewire--pipelines
requires a service connection to the GitHub app "azure pipelines" to exist. What isn't documented is that the connection name in ADO needs to be the GitHub organization name you are going to be migrating into. I couldn't find that documented anywhere and only realized it looking at the file AdoApi.cs line 183.But that brings me to a larger problem of documentation around the
ad2gh
offering in general. It's pretty scarce (or possibly just spread-out?) and customers who are trying to use this could really use a little more direct assistance.Reproduction Steps
Create a GitHub PAT
Install the "Azure Pipelines" app to your organization in GitHub
Create an ADO PAT
Create the "Service Connection" in ADO (name it "github")
Attempt to run
ado2gh generate-script
with your parameters including--rewire-pipelines
The script will say:
Rename the "Service Connection" in ADO to be the same as the organization in GitHub
Attempt to run the script again. This time it will succeed.
