VSTS Build/RM Inspection Tasks

A set of build/release tasks to help debug issues with your build/release processes by inspecting the agent.

Supported Platforms

• Azure DevOps - Pipelines
• Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 3 and higher (How to install extensions in TFS)
• Only Windows - sorry, this is due to the lack of Powershell support of the underlying task FX platform :-(

Have you been in a situation where your build is just working as it should?

These tasks might help you!

Functionality includes...

• Inspect all Build Agent Environment Variables
• Inspect all files and directories

In case of errors with the processes/pipelines, inspecting these values can be very helpful for solving issues!

Quick steps to get started

Add the Inspect Environment Variables and/or Inspect File Structure tasks to your build.

This should preferrably happen at the end of your build to get the end-results of files and environment variables. Or you can also add multiple inspection tasks and track diffs of the variables or files.

Once the build is done, you will find attached build / release results for files or environment variables present on the build agents at time of execution.

Any functionality missing?
