Automatic Publishing API-M with Generate

[randiratnayake]

I am currently working on automating the API-M developer portal deployment from one environment to another (Azure DevOps). I have successfully used scripts.v3/capture.js to package the snapshot and generate pipeline artifacts.

node ./capture --subscriptionId "$(SubscriptionId)" --resourceGroupName "$(ResourceGroupName)" --serviceName "$(ServiceName)"

I use the same artifacts and target different environments with gated approvals to publish the portal changes.

node ./generate --subscriptionId "$(AzureSubscriptionId)" --resourceGroupName "$(ResourceGroupName)" --serviceName "$(ServiceName)" --folder "$(Pipeline.Workspace)/snapshot"

But there is no option to publish the changes. Digging around, I see scripts.v3/migrate.js has a built-in publish method. I wonder can't we have an optional parameter for the generate script so that it also publishes if the flag is set. Any limitations for not doing it?

I have tested my forked repository on this proposed solution: #1675 and it works as expected.
