AzureOrganization="https://dev.azure.com/ExampleOrganization"
AzureProject="ExampleProject"
az devops configure -d organization= $AzureOrganization project=$AzureProject

read-r-p "Enter name of iteration" iteration
echo @ iterationname

If @ iteration exists in the organization project , then perfect if @ iteration does not exist, print out this iteration does not exist in the project

read-r-p "Enter name of team in the organization that you want to link in the iteration " team
echo @ team

If @ team exists in the organization project , then perfect if @ team does not exist,print out this team does not exist in the project

So how do I know whether the team or Iteration already existed in Azure Devops Organization?

To determine if a team exists, you can use

team=`az devops team show --team myTeamName 2>/dev/null`

if [ "$team" = "" ]; then
  echo "Team does not exist"
else
  echo "Team exists"
fi

if the team exists, $team will have JSON in it, otherwise not.

To determine if an iteration exists, you can use

iteration=`az boards iteration project list --path "\\ProjectRoot\\Path\\To\\Your\\Iteration" 2>/dev/null`

if [ "$iteration" = "" ]; then
  echo "Iteration does not exist"
else
  echo "Iteration exists"
fi

Look at your project iteration structure for how to structure the query to the path. My iteration tree is 4 levels deep. Yours may not be. If the iteration exists, $iteration will have JSON in it, otherwise not.

The 2>/dev/null suppresses the stderr output from the CLI when the iteration or team does not exist. --only-show-errors does not suppress this.

The if statements may vary from shell to shell (I use zsh), so if this does not work you may need to look at documentation for the shell you're using.

  • Thanks a lot--is there a true/false value that I can use in If statement so if team not exist, it printout not exist, if it is exist, it print out exist. I need something like true false to use in if statement – kitten Sep 30 '21 at 00:01

    Check the update to my answer. – WaitingForGuacamole Sep 30 '21 at 12:03
  • it said the path parameter is expcted to be absolute path. Do you have a way to get the path by query the iteration name? Thanks so much – kitten Oct 01 '21 at 05:42

    For that, you might need to invoke `az boards iteration project list` without the `--path` parameter, and with an appropriate `--depth` parameter setting (look at the maximum depth of your iteration tree for this). From there, you would scan the output for the specific iteration name. – WaitingForGuacamole Oct 01 '21 at 12:19
  • Thanks so much...I am very new to this stuff. I even don't know how to scan the output. For example, you get az boards iteration project list --depth 3. Then, how do I find the childIteration exist or not. Example Child Iteration--ABC. how do I know ABC existed in the json file and Can I get ABC.path by query json? I want to ask a new question. But because my question get downvote.. I cannot ask so, which makes me comment here. – kitten Oct 01 '21 at 16:16
