Azure DevOps Version Checker

A tool for checking the versions of dependencies in an Azure DevOps Organisation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• requests
• packaging

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Install the required packaged by running 'pip install -r requirements.txt'

Usage

1. Create an 'environments.json' file that includes the projects, repositories, and software you want to check the version of. See environments-example.json
2. Update the 'secrets.json' file with your Azure DevOps organisation, username, and personal access token.
3. Run the Get Dependencies script by executing 'python get_dependencies.py'. This will produce a versions.json file. This script retrieves the version information for each software in each environment and repository specified in the environments.json file. The version information is then saved in a versions.json file.
4. Run the Check Dependencies script by executing 'python check_dependencies.py'. . This script checks the version information in the versions.json file against the information available at https://endoflife.date. The script outputs a list of software versions that are no longer supported.

Example

environments.json

The environments.json file should be a list of objects, where each object represents information for a single software in a single environment and repository. Each object in the list should have the following fields:

Field	Description	Required
software	The name of the software.	Yes
envName	The name of the environment.	Yes
repo	The name of the repository.	Yes
project	The name of the project.	No
file_path	The file path of the file containing the version information.(Used for automatic version retrival)	No
version	The version of the software.(Use this when automatic retrival is unavailable)	No

secrets.json

The secrets.json file should contain the following fields:

Field	Description	Required
organization	The name of the Azure DevOps organization.	Yes
username	The username for accessing the Azure DevOps API.	Yes
pat_token	The personal access token for accessing the Azure DevOps API.	Yes

versions.json

The versions.json file contains the version information for each software in each environment and repository specified in the environments.json file. The file is generated by running the get_dependencies.py script, and should have the following fields:

Field	Description
dependency	The name of the software.
version	The version of the software.
env	The name of the environment.
