Get updated tasks log after redeploy via API in TFS 2017

I'm using the TFS 2017 API to get the latest deploy log for my releases.

I'm using this pattern: 

GET https://{instance}/{project}/_apis/release/releases/{releaseId}/environments/{environmentId}/tasks?api-version={version}

It works well for the first deployment.

When a task fails, and I redeploy it, it returns the log of the first deployment, not the current deployment.

I want the log of the last deployment for each task, not the first deployment.

Solution

  • You have to add the deployPhases in the Rest API URL:

    GET https://{instance}/{project}/_apis/release/releases/{releaseId}/environments/{environmentId}/deployPhases/{deployPhaseId}/tasks?api-version={version}

    For example, if you deploy the environment three times and you want to get the information for the third deployment, then the deployPhaseId is 3.
