Build Results Enhancer

This sample extension shows how to make a tab/section contribution to build summary page, while reacting to build updates. This also has a sample code that allows user to render custom data results uploaded from a particular task in build.

You could contribute to build results view in different ways:

• As a section to any of your own contributed tab for build results view
• As a section to the existing "summary" tab in build results view
• As a tab to the build results view

Targets

• ms.vss-build-web.build-results-view: To contribute to build results/details view
• ms.vss-build-web.build-results-summary-tab: To contribute to the summary view on build results/details view

Types

• ms.vss-build-web.build-results-tab: To contribute as a tab to build results/details view
• ms.vss-build-web.build-results-section: To contribute as a section to tab targets
