azure-devops-node-utilities v4.0.5

Version Cross-Reference

• Use ^3.0.0 for TFS 2018.
• Use ^4.0.0 for ADOS 2019.

Vulnerability Notes

This package contains vulnerabilities from sub-packages that are referenced in the following Microsoft Azure packages:

• azure-devops-node-api.
  • underscore
    • 2 High Vulnerabilities
• azure-pipelines-task-lib.
  • shelljs
    • 1 High Vulnerability
    • 1 Moderate Vulnerability

The TFS 2018 versions will not be updated at this time and Microsoft is no longer creating security patches for the Azure package versions that are necessary to function for TFS 2018. Newer versions of the library will fail to function on TFS 2018.

THe ADOS 2019/2020 versions will require breaking changes in order to resolve the vulnerabilities, and I currently have no means to test these components to validate that they remain functional after updating.

Please run npm audit for the version you intend to use to determine if the vulnerabilities are deal breakers.

To Build or Publish to a Local Repository

1. Download root source code
2. At either the TFS2018 or ADOS2019 directory, run npm install
3. Go inside lib folder which gets created
4. Run npm publish from this folder to publish to a local repository.

Unit Tests

Unit Tests will only work under the following conditions, and only after "npm install" has been called on the root directory.

• "npm test" is called from the "lib" folder.
• "npm test" is called from the "tests" folder.

Integration Tests

Integration Tests shall observe the following: 1. Integration Tests shall not modify tfvc nor git repositories. 2. Integration Tests shall not modify Build nor Release pipelines. 3. Integration Tests shall modify their own unique files on the file system. 4. Integration Tests shall keep an original file they modify in the "files" directory. 5. Integration Tests shall only modify from the "_files" directory to preserve tests over time.
