Add extension version support to Azure App Service Manage task #21038

Copilot · 2025-05-20T14:51:38Z

Changes

This PR adds the ability to specify extension versions when using the "Install Extensions" action in the AzureAppServiceManageV0 task. This allows users to:

Install a specific version of an extension
Force updating an extension to the latest version (even if already installed)

Implementation Details

Added a new input field "Extension Versions" to specify versions for extensions
Support two different ways to specify versions:
- Directly in the extension ID using format extensionId@version
- Via the new Extension Versions field as a comma-separated list
Added support for the latest keyword which will always update to the latest version
Added fallback mechanism if the Kudu API doesn't support the version parameter

Example Usage

- task: AzureAppServiceManage@0
  displayName: 'Install Extensions'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: '$(AzureSubscription)'
    Action: 'Install Extensions'
    WebAppName: '$(WebAppName)'
    ExtensionsList: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.AzureAppServices.SiteExtension@latest,[email protected]'
    # Alternatively, you can use:
    # ExtensionsList: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.AzureAppServices.SiteExtension,AspNetCoreRuntime.6.0.x64'
    # ExtensionVersions: 'latest,6.0.5'

Fixes #21004.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

@copilot Let's not add ExtensionVersions and extend ExtensionsList instead by supporting version suffix in brackets.
Like this: ExtensionsList: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.AzureAppServices.SiteExtension(latest),AspNetCoreRuntime.6.0.x64(6.0.5)'. Also make suffix optional and keep old logic to be executed in that case.

I've removed the ExtensionVersions input and updated the implementation to support version suffix in brackets: Microsoft.AspNetCore.AzureAppServices.SiteExtension(latest),AspNetCoreRuntime.6.0.x64(6.0.5). I've also maintained backward compatibility for extensions without version suffix. This change is implemented in commit d4cb851.

Add telemetry log here in case of an error.

Added telemetry logging in catch blocks when extension installation with version specification fails. The telemetry includes the extension ID and version that failed to install. This change is in commit d4cb851.

Cover all changes with feature flag named "AzureAppServiceManageV0.ExtensionVersionSupport"

I've added the feature flag "AzureAppServiceManageV0.ExtensionVersionSupport" and wrapped all extension version support functionality with conditional checks based on this flag. This ensures the new behavior is only enabled when the feature flag is active. This change is in commit d4cb851.

Remove extensionVersions as we don't use that parameter and info about version will optionally provided within extensionList in brackets so extract it from there. And update all added code so far according to that.

Removed the extensionVersions parameter and updated the code to extract version information only from the extension IDs using the bracket format in commit 4315c9e. I've removed the parameter from the function signature and the function call, while maintaining all the version parsing logic that extracts versions from extension IDs.

Hi @copilot
Please discard all previous work in this PR and start from scratch. Implement the changes based only on the following updated feature request:

Task Name: AzureAppServiceManageV0

Feature Request Summary:

Enhance the "Install Extensions" action to support specifying extension versions.
The new syntax should allow users to specify the version in brackets after the extension name, e.g.:
MyExtension(1.2.3) → install version 1.2.3
MyExtension(latest) → always update to the latest version
If no version is specified (e.g. MyExtension), retain current behavior.
Update the logic so that if the installed version differs from the requested one (or if latest is specified), the extension is reinstalled or updated accordingly.

Additional Requirements:

Wrap the new behavior under a dynamic feature flag.
Add telemetry to track: Usage of versioned extension installs
and Failures or mismatches
Optionally, add a monitoring hook to observe install/update behavior and surface anomalies.
cover with tests aligned with existing tests

Implementation Guidelines:

Follow the established patterns and structure used in other Azure Pipelines tasks in this repo.
Ensure consistency with how feature flags, telemetry, and logging are implemented across similar tasks.
Respect the repo’s conventions for task schema, input validation, and error handling.
Let me know when the updated implementation is ready for review!

Maintains backward compatibility for extensions without version
Wraps all functionality under the AzureAppServiceManageV0.ExtensionVersionSupport feature flag
Adds telemetry to track usage and failures
Includes tests for version parsing logic

The changes are available in commits 46d6b07 and 91e3326.
