[ProGet] Feature Request: Enable creating 'Feed & Project Groups' using API and/or PGUtil

Nils Nilsson

Hello!

I wish to be able to create new feed & project groups programatically so that it can be automated.

My suggestion is that it's either
a) Exposed as a new endpoint/command
b) If a non-existent feed group is provided for an endpoint or a command, like /api/management/feeds/create https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/api/feeds/create it will create the feed group provided the token used has sufficient permissions.

Currently scenario b will return code 400 with the message "Feed group <group> not found." and create an ungrouped feed.

I tried to jack into the /administrations/feeds/feed-groups/edit endpoint used by the website but ended up just being redirected to the login page.

Best Regards
Nils Nilsson

Hi @Nils-Nilsson ,

We'll implement something like Scenario B, which mirrors how the UI handles it and is the easiest to implement:

pgutil feeds create --name=myfeed --type=NuGet --group=mygroup

We'll also target this for July 24th's release, and ship via PG-3338.

Thanks,
Alana

I've had a chance to test the new version of pgutil now and it works perfectly, thank you.

Best regards

Hi @Nils-Nilsson,

we were facing similar issue maybe 2 years ago (I am not even sure if pgutil was available at that time). There may be other approaches besides pgutil. ProGet exposes native APIs, but not all features are enabled by default; some aspects can be modified directly in the database.
The native API is visible at:
https://<ProgetServer>:<port>/reference/api

FeedGroups APIs

The Enabled features can be checked in the following table (we are using an MS SQL database):
__StoredProcInfo

Internal_Indicator shows what is exposed and can be used. We set Internal_Indicator = 'N' for the APIs (stored procedures) that we want to use for our automation purposes.

Kind regards
Ivan
