Official Azure Pipelines task?

[AnthonyMastrean]

It would be awesome to see an official Azure Pipelines task in the marketplace!

The 2019 update post recommended the third-party CppBuildTasks task. That project hasn't aged well and doesn't support manifest mode nor binary caching.

Following are the custom tasks I use to use vcpkg in manifest mode (assumes a vcpkg.json in the workspace root and an accessible NuGet feed):

azure-pipelines.yml

pool:
  vmImage: windows-latest

variables:
  VCPKG_ARTIFACT_URL: 'https://.../nuget/v3/index.json'
  VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES: clear;nuget,$(VCPKG_ARTIFACT_URL),readwrite
  VCPKG_GIT_URL: 'https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git'
  VCPKG_ROOT: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\vcpkg
  VCPKG_USE_NUGET_CACHE: true

steps:
- task: NuGetAuthenticate@1
  displayName: 'Authenticate NuGet'
- task: CmdLine@2
  displayName: 'Setup vcpkg'
  inputs:
    script: |
      git clone --quiet $(VCPKG_GIT_URL) $(VCPKG_ROOT)
      call $(VCPKG_ROOT)\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
      $(VCPKG_ROOT)\vcpkg.exe integrate install
      $(VCPKG_ROOT)\vcpkg.exe install
