Update typescript

Update typescript to the 5.1.6 version in devDependencies in the package.json file and fix type errors.

"devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "5.1.6"
}

Update @types/node

Update @types/node to the ^20.3.1 version in dependencies in the package.json file.

"dependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^20.3.1"
}

If the task does not use built-in Node.JS modules (such as fs or path) directly, remove @types/node from the task dependencies.

Update task-lib and tool-lib

Update azure-pipelines-task-lib to ^4.13.0 and azure-pipelines-tool-lib to ^2.0.7 in package.json dependencies, if a task has these packages.

task-lib package uses some shared (e.g. global object) resources to operate so it may cause unexpected errors in cases when more than one version of the package is installed for a task. This happens if task-lib in subdependencies of the task (e.g. in some common npm packages used by the task) has a different version than in dependencies of the task itself. Same for tool-lib.

If the task uses task-lib, tool-lib, and some common npm packages that use task-lib and tool-lib as well, make sure task-lib and tool-lib have the same version in common npm packages as in the task itself. As a possible solution you also can remove these package versions via the make.json file, for example:

{
    "rm": [
        {
            "items": [
                "node_modules/any-common-npm-package/node_modules/azure-pipelines-task-lib",
                "node_modules/any-common-npm-package/node_modules/azure-pipelines-tool-lib"
            ],
            "options": "-Rf"
        }
    ]
}

Here is the repo with different common npm packages that can be used in the task.

Add Node20_1 handler

Add a new Node20_1 execution handler in the task.json file.

From To 
"execution": {
    "Node10": {
        "target": "main.js",
        "argumentFormat": ""
    },
    "Node16": {
        "target": "main.js",
        "argumentFormat": ""
    }
}
 
"execution": {
    "Node10": {
        "target": "main.js",
        "argumentFormat": ""
    },
    "Node16": {
        "target": "main.js",
        "argumentFormat": ""
    },
    "Node20_1": {
        "target": "main.js",
        "argumentFormat": ""
    }
}

Specify minimumAgentVersion

If several handlers are specified in the task.json file, the highest one will be selected from handlers that are available on the certain agent. For example, if Node10, Node16, and Node20_1 handlers are specified in the task.json file, and an old version of the agent (that is going to execute the task) has Node (version 6), Node10, and Node16 handlers, then the Node16 handler will be used. At the same time, the same agent will fail to execute the task if the Node20_1 handler only is specified in the task.json file. Therefore you should specify minimumAgentVersion.

minimumAgentVersion specified in the task.json file will trigger an automatic upgrade for agents less than the specified version.

  • Agent version 2.144.0 is the first version that supports Node10 handler. So set minimumAgentVersion at least to 2.144.0.
"minimumAgentVersion": "2.144.0"
  • Agent version 2.209.0 is the first version that supports Node16 handler. If you want to run the task using at least Node16 handler, set minimumAgentVersion to 2.209.0.
"minimumAgentVersion": "2.209.0"
  • Agent version 3.232.1 is the first version that supports Node20_1 handler. If you want to run the task using Node20_1 handler for sure, set minimumAgentVersion to 3.232.1.
"minimumAgentVersion": "3.232.1"

Test the changes

Test that the task works correctly on each execution handler specified in the task.json file.

How to test the changes:

  • Run unit tests (they should pass on each handler specified in the task.json file).
  • Run pipeline with the task using Node10 handler (if it is specified in the task.json file).
  • Run pipeline with the task using Node16 handler (if it is specified in the task.json file).
  • Run pipeline with the task using Node20_1 handler.

To force the agent to use Node 10 handler for all Node-based tasks, set the pipeline variable / the agent environment variable AGENT_USE_NODE10 to true.

To force the agent to use Node 20 handler for all Node-based tasks, set the pipeline variable / the agent environment variable AGENT_USE_NODE20_1 to true.
