Using Azure DevOps (VSTS), when I try add any extension that add build tasks, the extension is shown as "Installed" but the task list isn't updated with the new tasks. I found solutions only for the on premise version of TFS (the classic clear cache folder) but I suppose that I cannot do this in the cloud.
The last time I needed to add an extension was aprox. 1 month ago I had no problems.
For example:
The google play extension is installed but none of it's tasks is shown on the task list, but it still appear as "Installed"
And on the Extensions page the extension is in the list as expected:
Any sugestions on how to "force" the task list to update?
Update:
The problem is not with a parcular extension, another test with some random extension from the marketplace:
It shows as Installed but the Tasks do not appear.
Navigate to your team project on Azure DevOps. Navigate to Pipelines | Pipelines. Not to have two pipelines triggered later in the lab, disable the CI trigger for the template created pipeline (uncheck) and Save. Navigate back to Pipelines | Pipelines and click New pipeline to create a new build pipeline.
From your Azure DevOps Server home page ( https://{server}:8080/tfs/ ), go to the project collection where you want to install the extension. Open the extensions menu and choose Browse Marketplace. Find and select the extension that you want to install. Select the extension, and then Install.
Select a sequence of tasks in a build or release pipeline, open the shortcut menu, and then choose Create task group. Specify a name and description for the new task group, and the category (tab in the Add tasks panel) you want to add it to.
I created a ticket for the microsoft team but the issue disappeared overnight (after uninstalling/installing the extesions again in the next day), must have been some regional instability or just god telling me to stop working and go home.
