[feature] ProGet: Send test notifications from 'Notifiers & Webhooks'
-
Hello!
When I'm adding new notifiers I'd like to be able to send a test message to check that it works as expected.
Best regards

Hi @Nils-Nilsson ,
It's not really possible to "send a notification" without all the context (like Package Version, Name, etc.), but there is a relatively easy way to test that notifications are being sent (i.e. when you add a package).
If you configure a Email Notifier, you can check off the "Add notification in ProGet". You can enter a "fake email" or not even configure SMTP settings.
When you do that, it will still add a notification to ProGet (under Admin > Notifications) with the same body as the email.

That doesn't solve what I want to test.
My scenario is more about testing a webhook to make sure that ProGet can reach the host and that the destination receive a well formatted message.I don't completely buy that it's impossible to send a notification without real data, as it should be trivial to send some dummy data when using a "Try-out" button.
But I understand that if I'm the only one who has ever wanted this feature it wouldn't make sense to implement it.Best regards

Hi @Nils-Nilsson ,
It's possible but it's quite complex; there are dozens of variable/macros that rely on context (some will give an error) and none of them have built-in dummy data. That would make templating expressions like
<% if %>or<% foreach %>difficult to test.In theory, you could enter a large box of variable expressions (like
$FeedName=fake-feed)... but at that point, it's just easier to test things by performing the actions on a real package. A quickpgutil packages delete+pgutil packages uploadscript works great for that... that's how we test.Thanks,

I had the same issue, and I had to side quest an vscode extension(github, marketplace, still alpha) just to get the syntax correct :)
A try-out/dry-run button would be good though -
@sigurd-hansen_7559 wow very cool! We didn't anticipate anyone would customize these templates beyond adding a variable or two, so it it didn't seem to make a lot of sense to invest in a proper editor (like we have in the other products)
Anyway, it'd be interesting to see what kind of templates you develop.
