SourceLink in VSTS

Question

I'm trying to integrate SourceLink into Visual Studio Team Services by using https://github.com/ctaggart/SourceLink I have problems with it since the package seems unable to parse the URL of a VSTS repository.

Build started 8/22/2017 11:58:18 AM.
 1>Project "D:\Repos\Core\classic-stats\src\Acme.Stats\Acme.Stats.csproj" on node 1 (Build target(s)).

     git config --get remote.origin.url

     git rev-parse HEAD

 1>Done Building Project "D:\Repos\Core\classic-stats\src\Acme.Stats\Acme.Stats.csproj" (Build target(s)) -- FAILED.

Build FAILED.

AFAIK there's only support for GitHub and BitBucket, am I right? Has anybody been able to integrate this into TFS builds? Thanks

Out of the box, it has built in support for GitHub and BitBucket to create the `SourceLinkUrl` from the `remote.origin.url`. You can set the SourceLinkUrl if you know what it should be. If that is a private repository, it will not work just yet. See known issues. https://github.com/ctaggart/SourceLink#known-issues — Cameron Taggart, Aug 22 '17 at 11:15
Check https://github.com/dotnet/sourcelink it has support for VSTS — Skorunka František, Jul 20 '18 at 09:36

As Skorunka stated in his comment, SourceLink now has support for VSTS (recently renamed Azure DevOps)

Install the ~~Microsoft.SourceLink.Vsts.Git~~ Microsoft.SourceLink.AzureRepos.Git package in your project and add the following to your .csproj file

<PropertyGroup>
    [...]
    <AllowedOutputExtensionsInPackageBuildOutputFolder>$(AllowedOutputExtensionsInPackageBuildOutputFolder);.pdb</AllowedOutputExtensionsInPackageBuildOutputFolder>
    <PublishRepositoryUrl>true</PublishRepositoryUrl>
    <EmbedUntrackedSources>true</EmbedUntrackedSources>
</PropertyGroup>

Configure your Build Pipeline to generate your Nuget package using the dotnet pack command. SourceLink doesn't work yet with the Nuget pack (based on my tests).

Push your changes to your Azure DevOps server and let the build pipeline generate your Nuget package and push it to your Nuget feed.

In Visual Studio go to tools -> Option -> Debugging -> General and ensure that

Enable just my code is not checked
Enable SourceLink support is checked

Then in any other project, install your Nuget package.

When you'll try to step into some code defined in your package's DLL, Visual Studio will ask if you want to Download source code and continue debugging. It will authenticate to your Azure DevOps server using your Git credentials, download the source code, and let you debug it.
