Research direction

Start by reviewing the Azure DevOps REST API 7.1 definitions and the code-generator compatibility work described in the issue. Compare the current autogenerated client with the azure-p repository and identify what engineering changes are needed before regeneration. Done means a newly generated SDK covers the current API and can replace the outdated 6.0-beta client.

Description

Raising this issue to pin a status on this SDK.

  • The latest version of this package on PyPi does not include many API endpoints for Azure DevOps because it was generated on 6.0-beta.
  • The code was autogenerated, so PRs to the autogenerated code cannot be merged yet until the latest API can be used to generate a new client
  • The Azure SDKs for Python are now maintained in the azure-p repository

The plan is to regenerate a new SDK against the current API (7.1) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1 but some engineering work is required to get the API definitions to be compatible with the latest code generator.
