Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) Sample Extensions

Samples to help jump-start your development of extensions for Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).

Get started

If you plan to package any of the sample extensions, get:

  1. Node.js
  2. Team Foundation command line interface (npm install -g tfx-cli)
  3. If the extension uses bower (look for bower.json), Bower (npm install -g bower)

If you plan to compile any of the sample extensions, get:

  1. TypeScript (npm install -g typescript)

Get the web extension SDK

Each web extension sample has a bower.json or package.json file, which references third-party libraries used by the sample, including the Visual Studio Services Web Extension SDK. This SDK JavaScript file is required by all web extensions.

From the directory of the sample, run:

If there is a bower.json file present

bower install

or if there is only a package.json file present

npm install

Compile TypeScript Samples

Once the package is installed, simply run tsc. You can alternatively run npm run build, which ensures the correct version of the TypeScript compiler is used. This will also generate the extension package.

Try the extension in Visual Studio Team Services

Most samples can be run without any modifications on Visual Studio Team Services. The steps are:

  1. Create a free Visual Studio Team Services account
  2. Create a Visual Studio Marketplace publisher (all extensions are uploaded under a publisher)
  3. Verify the extension's manifest file (vss-extension.json) either has the public attribute set to false or is not specified (this ensures your extension is not inadvertently made available to all VSTS users)
  4. Package the extension with the ID of your publisher (run tfx extension create --publisher MYPUBLISHERID)
  5. Upload the produced .vsix file to the Marketplace
  6. Share your extension with your VSTS account (right-click on the published extension and select Share)
  7. Install the extension into the account (click on the published extension's title and then click Install)

Build Results Enhancer

This sample extension shows how to make a tab/section contribution to build summary page, reacting to build updates.

This also has a sample code that allows user to render custom data results uploaded from a particular task in build.

You could contribute to build results view in different ways:

  • As a section to any of your own contributed tab for build results view
  • As a section to the existing "summary" tab in build results view
  • As a tab to the build results view

Contributing as a tab and a section to our own tab -
