Add Azure DevOps

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank β†’ 2. Add Connector β†’ 3. Apply HttpRequest Fix β†’ 4. Configure β†’ 5. Build β†’ 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Azure DevOps connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL β€” construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections β†’ + New connection β†’ search for the connector β†’ Create.

npx power-apps add-data-source -a azuredevops -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Apply HttpRequest Fix (Required)

The generated code has a known issue: the HttpRequest method uses parameters as the parameter name, but the API expects body. Rename parameters to body in these 3 files:

Use the Edit tool to rename parameters to body in each file:

1. src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts: Find the HttpRequest method. Rename the parameter and its usage:

// BEFORE (generated):
async HttpRequest(parameters: any) {
  const params = { parameters: parameters, ... };

// AFTER (fixed):
async HttpRequest(body: any) {
  const params = { body: body, ... };

2. .power/appschemas/dataSourceInfo.ts: Find the visualstudioteamservices β†’ HttpRequest β†’ parameters section. Rename the property key:

// BEFORE (generated):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    parameters: { ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    body: { ... }

3. .power/schemas/visualstudioteamservices/visualstudioteamservices.Schema.json: Find the /{connectionId}/httprequest β†’ post β†’ parameters array. Change the name field:

// BEFORE (generated):
{ "name": "parameters", "in": "body", ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
{ "name": "body", "in": "body", ... }

Step 4: Configure

Ask the user what Azure DevOps operations they need (query work items, create items, trigger pipelines, etc.).

HttpRequest – make arbitrary ADO REST API calls:

await AzureDevOpsService.HttpRequest({
  Uri: "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.2",
  Method: "POST",
  Body: JSON.stringify({
    query:
      "SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project"
  })
});

Docs: Azure DevOps REST API

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts (generated files can be very large – see connector-reference.md).

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, HttpRequest fix applied, build status.
