Project not maintained and contributors not being able to run tests

svrooij commented 2 years ago

Is this projected maintained at all? With 140 open pull requests it seems like Microsoft is ditching Azure Pipelines very soon.

I've been waiting to get feedback on #16283 for ages (3 months) and I'm for sure not the only one, someone playing knock-knock

Then I decided I'm no longer going to wait, and build/publish/deploy as custom version myself. Since the tasks I changed already seem to have some tests, I tried if I could run those tests. And it's hard.... See #16708

Issues I'm having trying to deploy my own version:

All tasks seem to be tested by some hidden Azure Pipeline
On my PR the automated test run is not executed (probably because of some access issue)
If it where to be executed, I would not be able to see the results anyway
Trying to run the tests locally returns a ENOENT no such file ... /.taskkey until you create the C:\temp\agent\home\temp\ folder
Tasks don't seem to be published as an extension but seem to be published as nugets

Is it worth investing time to deploy custom versions of existing tasks? Will my PR get any feedback in the next week? Is there an escalation plan when codeowners are awol?

I'm making good progress in deploying my own version of the tasks that I have an open PR for. My progress is here https://github.com/svrooij/azure-pipelines-tasks/tree/custom-deploy-for-stale-pr

Anyone else interested contact me.

Yes, auto-closing this issue is a really good idea.... Sarcasm off

You should start responding to issues and disable the damn bot. It does not work!

This bot is super useful ☝️🤬 Can someone from @azuredevopsproject please start responding, instead of having a bot auto close the issue

Thanks so much for the feedback! I re-tagged this issue so it will no longer be auto-closed. Also updated #16708
