supportsTasks contribution property not working

[jsalado]

Hello,

I'm improving an extension that currently only provides additional build tasks to include web contributions to display results of my tasks in the build summary and add a couple of contributions that will display specific tabs depending on the task that was defined in the build task.

I'm following the build-results-enhancer sample, and it's been very helpful so far. I already have everything implemented and working. The only thing is that I always get all the contributions displayed. I'm setting the supportsTasks property in the contribution that I want to display only if the correspondent task in in the build definition, but it is not working.

I have tried defining the task dependent contribution like in the example:
{ "id": "build-kiuwan-audit-results-tab", "type": "ms.vss-build-web.build-results-tab", "description": "A tab contributing to build results view and depends on Kiuwan delivery analysis task", "targets": [ "ms.vss-build-web.build-results-view" ], "properties": { "name": "Kiuwan Audit", "uri": "kiuwanAuditTab.html", "supportsTasks": ["4e6e25e3-c0b5-4986-8714-5c751945c15f"] } },
and tried using "id" within the supportsTasks property because it is hinted in the sample readme.md. Like this:
{ "id": "build-kiuwan-audit-results-tab", "type": "ms.vss-build-web.build-results-tab", "description": "A tab contributing to build results view and depends on Kiuwan delivery analysis task", "targets": [ "ms.vss-build-web.build-results-view" ], "properties": { "name": "Kiuwan Audit", "uri": "kiuwanAuditTab.html", "supportsTasks": { "id": ["4e6e25e3-c0b5-4986-8714-5c751945c15f"] } } },
None of this work. I always get the "Kiuwan Audit" contribution displayed independently if I use the task with defined task id or not.

Any help is appreciated. Best,
J.

Funny. As soon as I add this property, with the 2 syntax you tried, my tab does not appear anymore, even for jobs which use the referred task :-(

I tried to fix this issue and unfortunately, after trying every combination possible (new guid, lower/upper case...) linked to the TaskId, I came to the conclusion that "supportsTasks" property of a specific contribution doesn't work as intended.

mine is working fine for vnext builds but it shows up in all xaml builds the custom tab . why is no any enough documentation ,support or update for this topic from Microsoft for long time?
