Developing a Canvas App with Multiple Developers

Posted on 30 Nov 2022 17:54:41 by 80

Hi,

 

I am working with another developer in building a canvas app. What is the best way for us to work together on building the app?

 

One thought I had was to export a solution and the other developer would import and we'd keep doing that between us - but am finding that when I import from the other developer, any changes I have made are overwritten. I guess there's no merging done when I import a solution - just a straight overwrite.

 

One other suggestion was git integration. But I can't get that to work for me.

 

Finally, I found a suggestion that we should use component libraries and each develop individual components that would then be used in the app.

 

Are creating canvas apps really just a one-man band. Is it really so difficult to work as a team on an app?

    I used a personal access token as the password which I generated from my organisations Azure Dev Ops and it didn't work. I tried this several times. I don't know if I'm missing some configuration or permissions or something - but it just didn't work for me.

     

    Following from this - I tried with a GitHub account and it worked - but I need it to work for Azure DevOps

    I've seen other people have the same problem and they didn't seem to get a resolution so I figured that I should try and find another way to collaborate on the development of the app.

    @absoluteBeginer, the password is not your user password, it should be the personal access token. Check this documentation for how to created.

    When I enter my username and pat it says invalid username or password - so I can't even connect. I have tried various combinations of email and username and nothing seems to work.

    Hello, @absoluteBeginer, best practice is to use the git integration. Can let us know why it is not working for you?
