Get-VSTeamBuildArtifact fails

[apobekiaris]

Hi

I am executing the next script

$build = (Get-VSTeamBuild -ProjectName eXpandFramework|Where-Object {$_.DefinitionName -like "Xpand-Lab" -and $_.Result -eq "succeeded"}|Select-Object -First 1)
Get-VSTeamBuildArtifact -ProjectName eXpandFramework -Id $build.id 

however there is an exception in the output

The property 'properties' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists.

id   : 233

and is still not clear how do I download the artifacts.

I think this has to do with upgrading the version of the API we use by default. I have noticed some properties have moved around. I will look into it now.

Please run the following command and report the results.

Get-VSTeamAPIVersion

@DarqueWarrior any updates on this case?

looks like if I ErrorAction Continue I get a valid download Url

[DarqueWarrior]

Are you connected to a TFS2017 server?

[apobekiaris]

i try to download artifact from a Azure DevOps Hosted Agent pipeline, checking the pipeline setup it looks like it throws if the pipeline uses the Publish PipeLine Artifacts task instead when I used the Publish build artifact task I was able to get a valid DownloadUrl. For me this solution is fine, thanks for the support.

[DarqueWarrior]

The reason I asked is because the version of the API you were using was for TFS2017. Call SetVSTeamAPIVersion and set to AzD and try again.

I've raised a PR that should fix this issue:

#232

It occurs because the API is returning an extra result after all the artifact that is a different type (its called GitRef) and doesn't have a sub property named "properties":

My PR adds an extra condition to the if statement that ignores results from the API that don't have a .properties property.
