publish-artifacts-to-wiki

Introduction

Sometimes built artifacts cannot be deployed directly with DevOps pipelines and (or additionally) needs to be published somewhere for handover. An possible solution is to use the integrated Wiki for this.

Excerpt from azure-pipelines.ci.yml:

- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: 'Upload Artifacts to Wiki'
  inputs:
    targetType: inline
    script: |
      $uri = ('https://dev.azure.com/{0}/{1}/_apis/wiki/wikis/{2}/attachments?name={3}&api-version=6.0' -f '$(devOpsOrgName)', '$(devOpsProjName)', '$(devOpsWikiName)', '$(devOpsWikiFileName).zip')
      $directory = "$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/$(artifactName)"
      $fileName = "$directory/$(devOpsWikiFileName)"
      Write-Host "Uploading attachment in organization '$(devOpsOrgName)' in project '$(devOpsProjName)' in wiki space '$(devOpsWikiName)' at path '$(devOpsWikiPath)'..."

      Write-Host "File Path: $fileName.zip"
      $Header = @{
          'Authorization' = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$(PersonalAccessToken)")) 
      }
      # Compress files to zip
      Compress-Archive -Path "$fileName.msi" -DestinationPath "$fileName.zip"
