Breaking changes
(Pipelines) Pipelines have been improved. If you have any custom pipeline tasks or are executing any pipelines, you will need to change your code.
IsSuccessful
has been deprecated. It is replaced byEnsureSuccess
. We believe that the new name better reflects the fact that aPipelineException
is thrown if any errors occur during the execution of the pipeline. Also, in caseEnsureSuccess
does not throw aPipelineException
, it returns the output from the pipeline execution.PipelineTaskArgs
has been removed.PipelineContext
now contains the input and output instead. ThePipelineContext
has been made generic to support this change. In addition, theCancellationToken
has been moved out of thePipelineContext
and is now a part of theExecute
method signature to make your IDE recognize its existence. Method signature before:Method signature now:
Executing a pipeline no longer requires an output or
PipelineTaskArgs
object. To run a pipeline, you only need to provide the input. When the pipeline has executed, we recommend callingEnsureSuccess
on thePipelineExecutionResponse
, to make sure no errors occured and get the output from the pipeline.
