Terraform-provider-azuredevops: Publish new release to Terraform Registry

[simongottschlag]

Hi!

Are there any plans on doing a new release of this provider and are you looking into publishing it to the Terraform registry?

We have to build the code ourselves and store the binaries in GIT right now, would be really great if we could use a release from you instead.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Simon

Agreed if not in the registry can you please just publish released builds as artifacts in releases. It seems like its not clear what the release cadence is -- I am not even sure what version the provider is on.

@simongottschlag @mxrss2 Sorry for the inconvenient that we cannot release the new version due to the GPG keys. As I know that we will get GPG keys in the late October. Next release the provider will be released to Terraform registry.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 any updates? We don't want to contribute anything before we know this is the repository that will be releasing the provider and that we know new releases can be made.

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag We just get GPG key from the security team last few days and we are trying set up the release task. The ADO provider will be released and I can guarantee that.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 do you need any assistance setting up the release task for the Terraform registry? I would gladly help out.

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag I have setup a release pipeline https://github.com/microsoft/terraform-provider-azuredevops/pull/213, current issue is the GPG sign not working correct and this is an internal security service.

[xuzhang3]

It would be apricate if you can your help release the ADO provider, but file sign is an internal service, I'm afraid you may not be able to get involved.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 ah! You can't use GitHub Actions to do this instead?

Terraform documentation: https://www.terraform.io/docs/registry/providers/publishing.html#github-actions-preferred-

Example: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-scaffolding/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag The security sign does not support GitHub action.

[simongottschlag]

@simongottschlag The security sign does not support GitHub action.

@xuzhang3 ok! This means we need to wait for Microsoft to resolve this internally before we can release this provider?

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag YES. The release will coming soon as the only thing blocked us now is the internal sign issue.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 any updates? We've been waiting for quite a while now and will have to start doing this ourselves if nothing happens.

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag Sorry for the inconvenient. The code sign onboard request still in processing.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 do you have any estimate for when it will be ready? 👍

[xuzhang3]

@xuzhang3 do you have any estimate for when it will be ready? 👍

As far as I know, 3 days ~ 7 days, I cannot give an accurate time. 😞

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 I saw https://github.com/microsoft/terraform-provider-azuredevops/pull/224 beeing merged. Crossing my fingers it works :)

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag If everything goes well, new version will be released today.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 that is the best news I've read this week 👍

Super!

Another question, where is the doc going to show up? Is it at:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azuredevops/index.html or on: https://registry.terraform.io/search/providers?q=azure%20devops

Or some other place?

Sincerely
Mikael

[xuzhang3]

@sennerholm The docs will be at https://registry.terraform.io/search/providers?q=azure%20devops

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 any info regarding getting it on Terraform Registry?

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag Microsoft GPG signature cannot verified by Terraform, I need change the signature format.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 ah, that's unfortunate. I can't see the script used to sign, have you verified that it's the following?

gpg --detach-sign terraform-provider-{NAME}_{VERSION}_SHA256SUMS

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag The GPG signature used here is supported by MS internal service. Integrated in the release pipeline, not in the script.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 ah, that's too bad. What's the plan forward?

Sorry for pushing this all day, every day, but we really need to make Azure DevOps a native part of Terraform for multiple projects and would of course prefer it being released from here instead of a third party fork.

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag I'm contacting this with code sign service team if they can return the file in the format required by Terraform . Otherwise I need change the file format by myself to meet the Terraform publish criteria.

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 is it possible to convert it manually? That seems like a reasonable way of handling it until it can be automated, just to make sure we can do some new releases. 👍

[simongottschlag]

@xuzhang3 I've forked the repo and published the provider using our GPG for now: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/XenitAB/azuredevops/latest

We need the PR #225 and can't wait for it any longer.

I'll remove the fork when you've made a successful release and merged the PR.

[xuzhang3]

@simongottschlag @sennerholm ADO provider v0.1.0 has release to Terraform provider.
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/microsoft/azuredevops/latest
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/microsoft/azuredevops/latest/docs

Configure example:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azuredevops = {
      source = "microsoft/azuredevops"
      version = "=0.1.0"
    }
  }
}

@xuzhang3 congratulations!!! 😁🎉👍 Thank you 😁
