Update defaultBranch of build definition via Azure DevOps API - azure

I need to update the defaultBranch of build definition via Azure API.
The is the documentation for PUT request:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/build/definitions/update?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1
The problem is that I don't know the minimum list pf params I need to send in order to create a working request.
I tried to export the actual request from the browser and modify only this field - status code is 200 but nothing was changed. I don't want to pass all filed I just want to modify the defaultBranch.

In the link you provided you have Request Body section, you can see there what you need to pass. I like to get the definition first (with Get API), change what I want, and then perform the update.
In PowerShell:
$pat = "YOUR-PAT"
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,"$pat")))
$headers = #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/definitions/{definitionId}?api-version=5.1"
$build = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -ContentType application/json -Headers $headers
$newDefaultBranch = "test-branch"
$build.repository.defaultBranch = $newDefaultBranch
$json = $build | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Put -ContentType application/json -Headers $headers -Body $json

Why do I get "Request Entity Too Large" When Using the ZipDeploy API Azure?

I have a ASP.NET zip that I'm attempting to upload to an ASE slot using the zipdeploy API, and for one slot it's erroring out resulting in a "Request entity too large" error.
Here's the code I'm using:
$url = "https://" + $slot + "/api/zipdeploy?isAsync=true"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers #{Authorization = ("Basic {0}" -f $authInfo)} -Method POST -UseBasicParsing -InFile $zip -ContentType "multipart/form-data"
If I use a relatively small zip it'll work, but if I use the zip I want which is 100MB+, it'll fail.

Azure devops release edit bulk 110

Hello I have 145 releases
And I have to do an equal action for everyone for example add a certain variable and edit a certain line.
Is there a way to control everyone with a script?
I checked for a template, but it creates the release from 0 and does not edit it.
Can a script in PS or Python be a solution? I did not find any information on Google about it, other than an export release template.

You could use the REST API Definitions - Update to update the release pipeline:
PUT https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions/{DefinitionsId}?api-version=6.0
And if we want to batch modify the release pipeline, we need to get each ID of the release pipeline with REST API Definitions - List:
GET https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=6.0
Then we could iterate through each Rlease ID obtained.
I provide a rough code for your better reading:
$connectionToken="PAT"
$base64AuthInfo= [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($connectionToken)"))
$ReleasePipelineUrl = "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=6.0"
Write-Host "URL: $ReleasePipelineUrl"
$ReleasePipelines = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $PipelineUrl -Method Get -UseDefaultCredential -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)})
$ReleasePipelinesId = $ReleasePipelines.value.id
Write-Host "ReleasePipelinesId = $ReleasePipelinesId"
ForEach ($Pt in $ReleasePipelinesId)
{
$baseUrl = "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions/$($Pt)?api-version=6.0"
$pipeline = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $baseUrl -Method Get -UseDefaultCredential -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)})
Write-Host "URL: $baseUrl"
$pipeline.variables.TestValue.value = "$buildNumber"
####****************** update the modified object **************************
$json = #($pipeline) | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 99
Write-Host "URL: $json "
$updatedef = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Put -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers #{Authorization = "Bearer $env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN"}
write-host "=========================================================="
Write-host "The value of Varialbe 'TestValue' is updated to" $updatedef.variables.TestValue.value
}

How to import/upload multiple json files to Azure Devops Pipeline Release and Builds?

I have multiple Azure DevOps release and build (.json) files saved on my desktop. The script below is to add one json file. I am trying to import multiple build or release json files from my desktop to Azure DevOps?
Can someone please help?
$token = "PAT token"
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{Project}/_apis/build/definitions?api-version=6.0-preview.2"
$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($token)"))
$JSON = #'
request body
'#
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers #{Authorization = "Basic $token"} -Method Post -ContentType application/json -body $JSON
How to import/upload multiple json files to Azure Devops Pipeline Release and Builds?
We could use powershell scripts to parse the names of these json files from your desktop folder:
$JsonNames = Get-ChildItem C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop\*.json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name
Then we could loop this JsonNames to import to Azure Devops Pipeline Release and Builds:
ForEach ($JN in $JsonNames)
{
$token = "PAT token"
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{Project}/_apis/build/definitions?api-version=6.0-preview.2"
$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($token)"))
$JSON= Get-Content "C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop\$($JN).json"
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers #{Authorization = "Basic $token"} -Method Post -ContentType application/json -body $JSON
}

Powershell invoke-restmethod variable in url

I am new to powershell, and I am trying to create a simple script that will allow me to turn on several Azure VMs using the invoke-restmethod.
My code works when instead of using a variable I directly write the VM name into the url, but I want to use a variable, since eventually this must work for more than one VM.
Relevant part of code:
$body = #{
"$virtualMachines" = "VM1"
} | ConvertTo=Json
$url= "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/mySubscriptionId/resourceGroups/myResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.DevTestLab/labs/myLabName/virtualmachines/" + $virtualMachines + "/start?api-version=2018-09-15"
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -uri $url -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
$response | ConvertTo-Json
If you had a number of VMs, you could put them all into a PowerShell variable like this, an array of strings.
$VMs = "myVm1", "myVm2", "myVm3"
PowerShell has a number of flow control statements, the one you want to use is ForEach, which will step through an array one at a time. We just modify the way you're setting up the URL to be friendlier and easier to read and this should work just fine.
$baseUrl = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/mySubscriptionId/resourceGroups/myResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.DevTestLab/labs/myLabName/virtualmachines/"
ForEach ($vm in $VMs){
$url = $baseurl + $vm + "/start?api-version=2018-09-15"
Write-host "About to start [$Vm]"
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -uri $url -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers
$response | ConvertTo-Json
}
I checked the API documentation for the start? REST API endpoint, and it doesn't look like you need the -Body parameter for this endpoint.

How to change pull request's target via Azure DevOps API

The documentation says that the TargetRefName can be updated when "PR retargeting feature is enabled" but I can't find this option anywhere and can't see any documentation about how to enable it either.
How do I enable PR retargeting so that I can update the PR's target?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/git/pull%20requests/update?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1
Click on the more action button(...) and you will see "Change target branch"
I succeded to update the target branch with the API you provided with the following body:
{"targetRefName":"refs/heads/test"}
In PowerShell:
$pat = "YOUR-PAT"
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,"$pat")))
$headers = #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}/pullrequests/{pullRequestId}?api-version=5.1"
$json = '{"targetRefName":"refs/heads/master"}'
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method PATCH -ContentType application/json -Headers $headers -Body $json
It look like each PR could be re-targeted, I don't see an option enable/disable the feature.
By the way, I succeeded only in the above JSON, if you will try to get the PR and change the targetRefName you will get an error.
