Does this task work on non-windows agents? #57

Open btrepp opened 4 years ago

btrepp commented 4 years ago

Not 100% sure if non-windows OS is supported?

Running through azure devops yaml piplines, with 'ubuntu-latest'. Gives the below.

It does not. The task is built with Powershell and the Linux and Mac agents don't support tasks written in powershell as long as Microsoft doesn't add a powershell core executionhandler.

You could add a 2nd job to your pipeline, have it run Windows and do the promotion from there as a workaround.

@jessehouwing Maybe we can add support for PowerShell Core? You can run the 'normal' PowerShell@2 task with the input pwsh: true.

No, it's not easy to convert this extension to pwsh-core. The agent initializes the context for the task and for the SDK to work. The agent has 3 modes:

Only the Node/Node10 runtime is supported on non-windows-agents. So to enable this task on Linux, the task needs to be ported to a task host that is cross-platform. Maybe a thin wrapper in Node could in turn invoke pwsh, but that introduces a bunch of new headaches around return codes, error stream handling and such.
