I am in the process of creating a simple winform application, which can create new bug items into my Visual Studio Team Services agile workflow, using the API provided. The API Documentation
Currently it can create a new bug, with title, tags and description.
I want to be able to add file attachments, but for some reason this is not working.
The code to create the bug is below
private static void createInitailItemPostObject()
{
AddUpdateProp("/fields/System.Title", newTaskItem.Title);
AddUpdateProp("/fields/System.Tags", newTaskItem.Tags);
AddUpdateProp("/fields/System.Description", newTaskItem.Description);
AddUpdateProp("/fields/System.History", "Upload first file");
}
private static void AddUpdateProp( string field, string value)
{
DataObjectsProject.VSOJasonWorkItemPostData wiPostData = new DataObjectsProject.VSOJasonWorkItemPostData();
wiPostData.op = "add";
wiPostData.path = field;
wiPostData.value = value;
wiPostDataArr.Add(wiPostData);
}
The JSon call is done with the below code
public static async void Post(string url, System.Net.Http.HttpContent wiPostDataContent, string returnType, JSONReturnCallBack callBack)
{
string responseString = String.Empty;
try
{
using (System.Net.Http.HttpClient client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string.Format("{0}:{1}", username, password))));
using (System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync(url, wiPostDataContent).Result)
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string ResponseContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
responseString = ResponseContent;
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
callBack(responseString,returnType);
}
To add an attachment I can't seem to get it to convert the below code to work like my current code.
function readBlob() {
var files = document.getElementById('fileselect').files;
if (!files.length) {
alert('Please select a file!');
return;
}
var file = files[0];
var filename = file.name;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function (evt) {
if (evt.target.readyState == FileReader.DONE) {
// Post file content to server
$.ajax({
url: "http://fabrikam.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/attachments?filename=" + filename + "&api-version=1.0",
data: evt.target.result,
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json",
type: "POST"
});
}
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
}
Has anyone else been able to do this?
The URL I am using is the below url to call the API
"https://[ACCOUNT].visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/[Project]/_apis/wit/attachments?fileName=Test&api-version=1.0"
As you can see in the example code, you don't need to put the project in the URL for the API call. Try doing it with the following url:
