Hi again @TarunSingh12April,
I updated the extension (to version 1.0.44) and I think it also fixed this error, can you update and check please?
Thank you,

from azure-devops-create-pr-task.

Thanks Shayki.

I am still getting the same error.
Task looks like:

I've one query, in extension tab of Azure organizational settings I can see that your extension is installed in my project with latest version 1.0.44. But in task log, 1.0.0. is mentioned as version. Is it normal?

Thank you.

Hi @TarunSingh12April, thank you for the information!
About your query, yes, it's normal, the task is 1.0.44 :)
About the error, I caught what cause the error and I fixed it, please ensure the version is 1.0.45.
But put attention, if you give a test email address (in the reviewers) you will get an error that the email address not exist.
Thank you,

Hi @shayki5 , Thank you so much for your continuous help.

It seems issue still persists. Version 1.0.45 is reflecting in organization settings and I have used valid email address for reviewers field, still getting same error:
"Cannot convert 'System.String[]' to the type 'System.String' required by parameter 'Message'. Specified method is not supported."

Please help.. :(

Hi @TarunSingh12April,

Please remove the task from the build, save, refresh and add again the task.
Or create a new build definition and add the task.
If the above not worked so uninstall the extension and re-install again.
I don't know why but there is an issued with the new versions of the extensions where the task is exist in the pipeline.

Thanks,

Hi @shayki5 ,

I re-installed the extension and created new pipeline. It is showing different error now:
"ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid JSON primitive: Page."

It is showing id of reviewer as blank, please have a look in below snip.

Thank you,
Tarun

from azure-devops-create-pr-task.

@shayki5 I forgot to enable Oauth in new pipeline, I have enabled it. It is now showing reviewers id. But still getting same error: "ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid JSON primitive: Page."

from azure-devops-create-pr-task.

@TarunSingh12April Ok, it's look like you still get an error when the task try to create PR but it can't print the error correctly and you get the Json error.

I fixed it and updated the extension now, please remove the task and add him again to the build definition (it should be enough, but I'm not sure) and try again.

Thanks,

Hi @shayki5,

Still no luck, same error is coming with version 1.0.46. I tried creating new pipeline, still same error.

However the last link which it is accessing (prior getting failed) gives "404 Page not found" error.
link: https://dev.azure.com/<my_project_name>/<git_repo_name>/_apis/git/repositories/<my_project_name>/<my_git_repository_name>/pullrequests?api-version=5.0

Is there is anything I can do to rectify this from my side.

Our code is not in Azure repos, we are using Github for that.

Thank you,

Hi @TarunSingh12April,
That explain the error... the extension can create a PR for Azure DevOps (Repos), not for GitHub :(
It can be useful feature to add, but it will be a lot of work, I will start check it.

Best regards,
Shayki

from azure-devops-create-pr-task.

@shayki5 ohhh... :( However thank you so much for your continuous efforts. I am pretty sure you will add this feature as well.

You're welcome!
I will keep you update here.

from azure-devops-create-pr-task.

Hi @TarunSingh12April,
I have a good news! I updated the extension with GitHub support :)
The new version is 1.2.1 (it should be updated automatically, check if the Git Type radio buttons exist in the task, if not - uninstall and re-install....).
If you have any questions about it you can ask here.

Kind regards,
Shayki

Hi @shayki5 ,
