DevOps actions

Services

Azure DevOps actions

• Azure DevOps: Add Work Item CommentAdd a comment to a work item. Unlike creating or updating one, a comment is plain text on its own endpoint: no field map involved. Comments accept simple HTML for formatting.
• Azure DevOps: Cancel BuildCancel an in-flight build. Cancellation is a request, not an instruction: the build moves to "cancelling" and finishes tearing down, so its final result arrives shortly afterwards. This is a Build API action because the Pipelines API has no cancel verb at all.
• Azure DevOps: Comment on Pull RequestComment on a pull request. Azure DevOps models PR comments as threads, so a new comment starts a thread; give a Thread ID to reply inside an existing one instead.
• Azure DevOps: Complete Pull RequestComplete (merge) a pull request, with the usual options: squash, delete the source branch, resolve linked work items. Azure DevOps refuses to merge a PR that has moved since you last read it, so this action re-reads the PR first and echoes its latest commit back; no extra step needed.
• Azure DevOps: Create Pull RequestOpen a pull request. Branch names can be given plainly ("main"): the full ref Azure DevOps insists on is filled in for you. Reviewers are given as identity IDs; Work Item IDs link the PR to the work it delivers.
• Azure DevOps: Create ReleaseCreate a classic release from a release pipeline. Note this is classic Release Management, which Microsoft has steered new work away from in favour of multi-stage YAML pipelines: if your project deploys from a pipeline, use Run Pipeline instead.

Jenkins actions

• Jenkins: Cancel Quiet DownCancel quiet-down mode so Jenkins resumes starting new builds.
• Jenkins: Copy JobCreate a new Jenkins job by copying the configuration of an existing one.
• Jenkins: Create JobCreate a new Jenkins job from a config.xml definition. Tip: to get the XML of an existing job, add ‘config.xml’ to the end of its URL.
• Jenkins: Delete JobPermanently delete a Jenkins job and all of its build history.
• Jenkins: Disable JobDisable a Jenkins job so it can't be triggered until re-enabled.
• Jenkins: Enable JobEnable a Jenkins job so it can be built again.
