Azure DevOps - Pull requests - Build expired

I made a pull request in Azure Devops that had some policies. The code was reviewed and the build succeeded but  I didn’t had time to complete the Pull request.

Later when I came back I noticed that the Build was expired and  therefore I couldn’t complete the Pull request anymore.

Build Expiration is a part of the build branch policies. It makes sure that updates to your protected branch don't break open pull requests.

You can choose between:

  • Always require a new build
  • Require a new build if older than ... hours
  • Don't require a new build

If the build expired, you can retrigger it by clicking on the … next to the Build expired message and choosing Queue build:

That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

      VS Code Planning mode

      After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
