TeamFoundation

native support for Azure DevOps (previously VSTS) / Team Foundation Server specific APIs. The general documentation on how to use CI server integration can be found here

Secret Variables

This CI server supports the concept of secret variables and uses the Vault to store them. In order to access secret variables you need to use one of the fake 5 tasks from vsts-fsharp.

Example implementation (supports runner and vault tasks)

   // Either use a local vault filled by the 'FAKE_VAULT_VARIABLES' environment variable
   // or fall back to the build process if none is given
   let vault =
       match Vault.fromFakeEnvironmentOrNone() with
       | Some v -> v // fake 5 vault task, uses 'FAKE_VAULT_VARIABLES' by default
       | None -> TeamFoundation.variables // fake 5 runner task

   // Only needed if you want to fallback to 'normal' environment variables (locally for example)

       match vault.TryGet name with
