Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi, am I able to do build and deployment with Azure devops? I would think there needs to be some add-in to enable build of the PCF cli. Is there any current support for this or near future?

Build of PCF projects (pcfproj) & Solution projects can be done via msbuild. The projects are designed in a way so that all the build required dependecies are pulled from NuGet, without needing any additional tools. You can use Azure DevOps to build & pacakge controls by simply calling restore & build as different steps.
1. Restore of the project (msbuild /t:restore)
2. Build (msbuild)

You just need CLI to create/boot the components & the components can independently build via npm (for controls) & msbuild (for control & solution)

One additional note. If you want to restore and build in one command, recent versions of msbuild support this with the /restore switch.

So, to restore and build in one command use:

msbuild /t:build /restore

or

msbuild /t:rebuild /restore

My 10 cents here - I wrote a guide on building and deploying a PCF control using Azure DevOps pipelines.
I hope it helps someone coming accross this in the future!
