Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools tasks

  • Article

The available build tasks are described in the following sections. Afterwards, we showcase some example Azure Pipelines making use of these tasks. For information about the build tools and how to download them, see Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools for Azure Pipelines.

Helper task

The available helper tasks are described next.

Power Platform Tool Installer

This task is required to be added once before any other Power Platform Build Tools tasks in build and release pipelines. This task installs a set of Power Platform–specific tools required by the agent to run the Microsoft Power Platform build tasks. This task doesn't require any more configuration when added. This task contains parameters for the specific versions of each of the tools that are being installed.

To stay up to date with the tool versions over time, make sure these parameters correspond to the versions of the tools that are required for the pipeline to run properly.

YAML snippet (Installer)

  displayName: 'Power Platform Tool Installer'
  inputs:
    DefaultVersion: false
    XrmToolingPackageDeploymentVersion: 3.3.0.928

Parameters (Installer)

Parameters Description

PowerAppsAdminVersion
XrmToolingPackageDeploymentVersion
MicrosoftPowerAppsCheckerVersion
CrmSdkCoreToolsVersion
Tool version		 The specific version of the tool to use.

Power Platform WhoAmI

  • AppSource: The extended rule set that is used to certify an application before it can be published to AppSource.
ErrorLevel
Error Level		 Combined with the error, threshold parameter defines the severity of errors and warnings that are allowed. Supported threshold values are <level>IssueCount where level=Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational.
ErrorThreshold
Error threshold		 Defines the number of errors (>=0) of a specified level that are allowed for the checker to pass the solutions being checked.
FailOnPowerAppsCheckerAnalysisError
Fail on error		 When true, fail if the Power Apps Checker analysis is returned as Failed or FinishedWithErrors.
ArtifactDestinationName
DevOps artifact name		 Specify the Azure Artifacts name for the checker .sarif file.

Solution version number		 (Required) Version number you want to set.

While version number can be hardcoded in the pipeline, it is recommended to use an Azure DevOps pipeline variable like BuildId. This provides options to define the exact shape of version number under the "Options" tab, for example: $(Year:yyyy)-$(Month:MM)-$(Day:dd)-$(rev:rr)-3

This definition can then be used in the Set Solution Version task by setting the Version Number property with: $(Build.BuildId) instead of hard coding 20200824.0.0.2.

Alternatively a powershell inline task script $(Get-Date -Format yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm) output set to empty variable named SolutionVersion as Write-Host ("##vso[task.setvariable variable=SolutionVersion;]$version"), Set Solution Version as $(SolutionVersion).

Power Platform Set Connection Variables

Note

When using the username/password authentication type, the Application Id and Redirect Uri will be required. This authenticate oauth document has an explanation of why you need to create an app registration to authenticate with Dataverse. When you connect using username/password authentication, the connection behaves as an application which is connecting on behalf of a user to Dataverse.

MaxAsyncWaitTime
Maximum wait time		 Maximum wait time in minutes for the asynchronous operation; default is 60 min (1 hr), same as Azure DevOps default for tasks.

Environment management tasks

Automate common Environment Lifecycle Management (ELM) tasks.

Power Platform Create Environment

Creates a new environment. Creating a new environment also automatically creates BuildTools.EnvironmentUrl.

Important

When set, BuildTools.EnvironmentUrl will be used as the default service connection for subsequent tasks in the pipeline. Each task described in this article only uses the endpoint from the service connection when BuildTools.EnvironmentUrl is not set.

A new environment can only be provisioned if your license or capacity allows for the creation of additional environments. For more information on how to view capacity see Capacity page details.

Build and release pipelines

Now that we've identified what can be done using the build tools, let's see how you might apply these tools to your build and release pipelines. A conceptual overview is shown below. Let's view some details of the pipeline implementation using the build tool tasks in the sub-sections that follow.

To learn more about creating these pipelines and actually do hands-on pipeline authoring using the Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools, complete the build tools labs, which you can download from GitHub.
