After the last update, the extension is no longer visible.

Awesome Extension!
but currently there is no way to know what's contained in the deployment being approved.
Even a link to go to the release would be great

Hi Gustavo,

We are running Azure DevOps Server 2019 with Update 1.

Unfortunately the approval hub doesn't show any releases to approve. It hangs on the loading screen. Azure DevOps Version from 'about': Dev17.M153.2

In the developer console I see 2 calls being made:

1. OPTIONS: http://tfs:8080/tfs/organization/team/_apis/Release/approvals?top=50 I cannot see the response because Chrome doesn't seem to show them. Note: there are no request headers.
2. GET: http://tfs:8080/tfs/organization/team/_apis/Release/approvals?top=50
   On of the accept headers know is api-version=5.2-preview.3

The response of the second call now has this message:

The requested REST API version of 5.2 is out of range for this server. The latest REST API version this server supports is 5.1.

We have installed 1.1.4 and it looks like the links work for pre-deployment but not for post-deployment approvals. When inspecting the code it looks like we are getting back an href(unknown) for those particular releases that are in a post pending state.

Great extension!

The big buttons "Approve All" and "Reject All" are a little counter intuitive for me. I always press the first button, thinking that it would approve all releases. But the button only works when there are releases selected.

I think one of the following changes would improve this:

1. Make the buttons disabled until at least one release is selected.
2. The buttons do what they say: approve all. And add two other buttons that approve & deny selected.
3. Replace the text "all" with "selected".

I would suggest option 1 & 3.

I don't see a way to defer the deployment to a later date/time. I can do that with Azure DevOps itself. Will that feature be added? I think the extension would help may folks.

This does not work with YAML multi-stage pipelines, these are used exclusively on a project I am working on and this would be a valuable tool if it also supported these pipelines rather than just the classic pipelines.

We use multi-stage deployment pipelines, with approvals for each deployment stage which in our pipelines is an environment, having something like this that brings these all together on a single view with the ability to batch approve would be a huge improvement.

Hi! I try to extend your addon with pipeline support and wanted to start the app.
I've read your description:

Deploy the extension to the marketplace:
npm run publish:dev --token [token]
The [token] here is an Azure DevOps PAT (personal access token) with the Marketplace (Publish) scope and access set to All accessible organizations. For more information, see Authenticate access with personal access tokens.

I tried it with the exact setup as you wrote (Marketplace Publish + All Organizations) and also with Full-Access with all Organizations. But no luck...

error: Received response 401 (Not Authorized). Check that your personal access token is correct and hasn't expired.

The PAT is definitely not expired and I have admin rights to the devops where this PAT is coming from.

Could you please help me resolve this problem?
Thank!

There is an setting in the pre and post deployment approvals that requires revalidating the identity of the user. With this setting enabled when trying to approve or reject an approval nothing happen.

Is it possible to add this revalidate identity process?

Hi!

Thank you for all the great work you are doing.

We tried this extension together with multi-stage pipelines and doesn't seem to work. Is that something you think could be included? Would be an amazing feature since you have to go into each multi-stage pipelines build and approve each right now.

Best regards,
Simon

The new deferred approval feature will default your deployments to midnight tomorrow if you do not set a date.

There is no way to perform an immediate release, unless you manually set the hour and minute that you want to release to be the current date and time.

Previously I could immediately approve and deploy. Now a date is set to midnight tomorrow, even if you do not use the feature

Hi, we just added this extension to our company, and we are very happy with it, except for one small issue.
I am managing the simultaneous release of +20 items, but I'm not the final approver, so if I go to the "Releases to Approve" page, I only see this

It would be super helpful to show there the actual list of releases to approve, even if I can't act on them, so I can double-check what I'm sending to the approver.

I, as an approver, want to know the respective approval is PRE or POST.

For some reason I am getting a 404 error when trying to access approvals via a Chrome browser on a mobile phone (ios).

I, as an approver, want to view respective releases separated by stages on Grid View. Please also include respective filters to stages and PRE or POST Deployment.

Stage: DEV
.netcoreapiFabric CD - Release 2 - PreDployment
.netcoreapiFrameworkCD - Release 3 - Post Deployment
Stage: PROD
.netcoreapiFabric CD - Release 1 - PreDployment
.netcoreapiFrameworkCD - Release 2 - Post Deployment

I, as an approver, want to see only my respective releases where I have permission to approve!

Hi, thank you for the awesome extension. It's really appreciated.

I have a single issue with deferring the deployments, as we have multiple companies involved in our releases who would like to be able to defer the deployments easily. It's difficult to select the time of day as it is not shown very easily. Could you make the box a little bigger, so it reflects native Azure DevOps way of showing the dropdown?

If some stage is awaitig for Manual Intervention it won't be listed by this extension.

I know MIs are not approvals, but it yould be nice to have it in the overview ;)

There is a limit in the "Aprove Releases" window and we can't see all the "Pending Aproval" releases.
A feature to filter by release name, status, environment, etc, would be great!

Great Extension!!

It would be nice if you can add an option to view the approvals from other users.
So that i can override the Approvals.
