Azure DevOps API get status of previous release task - azure-devops

Question

Does anyone know the api to get the status of the individual release task in a release?
I can get the status of the release itself but not the individual release tasks (PowerShell tasks in my case). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/release/releases/get%20release?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0
Also if anyone knows where the source code is for ADO built in tasks condition. can you please share the link?

Does anyone know the api to get the status of the individual release task in a release?
Method 1: You can use a REST API that is not documented：
GET https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/Release/releases/{releaseId}/environments/{environmentId}/attempts/{attemptId}/timelines/{timelineId}/tasks
It returns a brief overview and status(succeeded, inProgress, pending, failed...) of all tasks in the release.
The response body looks like the following example:
{
"count": 9,
"value": [
{
"id": 4,
"timelineRecordId": "d81751cc-e42f-407a-9091-f611d37df33b",
"name": "Initialize job",
"dateStarted": "2021-04-27T06:01:21.5233333Z",
"dateEnded": "2021-04-27T06:01:23.32Z",
"startTime": "2021-04-27T06:01:21.5233333Z",
"finishTime": "2021-04-27T06:01:23.32Z",
"status": "succeeded",
"rank": 1,
"lineCount": 121,
"issues": [],
"agentName": "Hosted Agent",
"logUrl": "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/Release/releases/6/environments/6/deployPhases/6/tasks/4/logs"
},
{
"id": 5,
"timelineRecordId": "68716c38-638d-551b-6964-2da9e273edef",
"name": "Command Line Script",
"dateStarted": "2021-04-27T06:01:23.33Z",
"dateEnded": "2021-04-27T06:01:28.5833333Z",
"startTime": "2021-04-27T06:01:23.33Z",
"finishTime": "2021-04-27T06:01:28.5833333Z",
"status": "succeeded",
"rank": 2,
"lineCount": 15,
"issues": [],
"task": {
"id": "d9bafed4-0b18-4f58-968d-86655b4d2ce9",
"name": "CmdLine",
"version": "2.182.0"
},
"agentName": "Hosted Agent",
"logUrl": "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/Release/releases/6/environments/6/deployPhases/6/tasks/5/logs"
},
{
"id": 6,
"timelineRecordId": "fced85f1-31cf-59f2-d2e0-ccd1645b2427",
"name": "Command Line Script",
"dateStarted": "2021-04-27T06:01:28.5866667Z",
"startTime": "2021-04-27T06:01:28.5866667Z",
"status": "inProgress",
"percentComplete": 0,
"rank": 3,
"issues": [],
"task": {
"id": "d9bafed4-0b18-4f58-968d-86655b4d2ce9",
"name": "CmdLine",
"version": "2.182.0"
},
"agentName": "Hosted Agent",
"logUrl": ""
}
]
}
Method 2: You can use the REST API Releases - Get Task Log:
GET https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/releases/{releaseId}/environments/{environmentId}/deployPhases/{releaseDeployPhaseId}/tasks/{taskId}/logs?api-version=6.0-preview.2
It returns the running log of a specific task.
The response body looks like the following example:

If anyone knows where the source code is for ADO built in tasks condition.
I don't think Azure DevOps built-in tasks have conditions source code, because conditions can be used not only for built-in tasks, but for other tasks, jobs, stages, etc... It is supported by YAML Schema and Azure DevOps classic UI pipeline, but it has nothing to do with specific tasks.

Each of your PowerShell tasks is an environment; therefore, you can access through the environments that is returned by "Get Release" API. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/release/releases/get%20release?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0#releaseenvironment
