Azure CLI

Updating the CLI

• Update version and src.hash in package.nix
• Check out the changes made to the azure-cli setup.py since the last release
• Try build the CLI, will likely fail with ModuleNotFoundError, for example

   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.mgmt.storage.v2023_05_01'
  

  Sometimes it will also fail with other import errors.
• Check the referenced module (azure-mgmt-storage) in the setup.py
• Find the actual version required, for example

    'azure-mgmt-storage==21.2.0',
  

• Update version and hash of this dependency in python-packages.nix
• Repeat until it builds

Extensions

There are two sets of extensions:

• extensions-generated.nix are extensions with no external requirements, which can be regenerated running:

  nix run .#azure-cli.passthru.generate-extensions

• extensions-manual.nix are extensions with requirements, which need to be manually packaged and maintained.

Adding an extension to extensions-manual.nix

To manually add a missing extension, first query its metadata from the extension index. Use the following command, use the current version of azure-cli in nixpkgs as cli-version and the name of the extension you want to package as extension:

./query-extension-index.sh --cli-version=2.61.0 --extension=azure-devops --download

The output should look something like this:

{
  "pname": "azure-devops",
  "description": "Tools for managing Azure DevOps.",
  "version": "1.0.1",
  "url": "https://github.com/Azure/azure-devops-cli-extension/releases/download/20240514.1/azure_devops-1.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl",
  "sha256": "f300d0288f017148514ebe6f5912aef10c7a6f29bdc0c916b922edf1d75bc7db",
  "license": "MIT",
  "requires": [
    "distro (==1.3.0)",
    "distro==1.3.0"
  ]
}

Based on this, you can add an attribute to extensions-manual.nix:

  azure-devops = mkAzExtension rec {
    pname = "azure-devops";
    version = "1.0.0";
    url = "https://github.com/Azure/azure-devops-cli-extension/releases/download/20240206.1/azure_devops-${version}-py2.py3-none-any.whl";
    sha256 = "658a2854d8c80f874f9382d421fa45abf6a38d00334737dda006f8dec64cf70a";
    description = "Tools for managing Azure DevOps";
    propagatedBuildInputs = with python3Packages; [
      distro
    ];
    meta.maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [ katexochen ];
  };

• The attribute name should be the same as pname.
• Replace the version in url with ${version}.
• The json output requires must be transformed into propagetedBuildInputs.
• If license is "MIT", it can be left out in the nix expression, as the builder defaults to that license.
• Add yourself as maintainer in meta.maintainers.

Testing extensions

You can build azure-cli with an extension on the command line by running the following command at the root of this repository:

nix build --impure --expr 'with (import ./. {}); azure-cli.withExtensions [ azure-cli.extensions.azure-devops ]'

Check if the desired functionality was added.

You can check if the extensions was recognized by running:

./result/bin/az extension list

The output should show the extension like this:

[
  {
    "experimental": false,
    "extensionType": "whl",
    "name": "azure-devops",
    "path": "/nix/store/azbgnpg5nh5rb8wfvp0r9bmcx83mqrj5-azure-cli-extensions/azure-devops",
    "preview": false,
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }
]

Removing an extension

If extensions are removed upstream, an alias is added to the end of extensions-manual.nix (see # Removed extensions). This alias should throw an error and be of similar structure as this example:

blockchain = throw "The 'blockchain' extension for azure-cli was deprecated upstream"; # Added 2024-04-26
