Our organisation currently has some issues with CatLight, where CatLight cannot establish a connection to Azure DevOps Services.

Background ist, that we recently migrated to Azure DevOps Services. We installed in the migrated DevOps Organisation the CatLight Extension. When trying to Login using CatLight, our developers get the OAuth Authorization form to give Consent to CatLight. But then they get a similair error to this.

Currently our users are circumventing this by using the PAT login. But this leads to high API Usage. Normally CatLight would use Service hooks. 

How can this be fixed?

Looks like there’s a problem with this site

https://service.catlight.io/api/oauth/ReceiveVstsAuthorizationCode4?code=[redacted]&state=[redacted] sent back an error.

Error code: 400 Bad Request

I have also tried to delete the connection from the desktop app and re-add it, but I encounter the same issue.

I have just downloaded CatLight in the last couple of days, primarily to monitor our build pipelines in Azure DevOps, but I can see that it will bring benefit for our current DevOps work items, and also for Jira us in the future,

It looks great so far from the first couple of days of the trial, but I have a major problem. It seems to lose connectivity to our DevOps pipelines and my Dashboard just doesnt show anything in there any more, even though I can still see thigs set up correctly in "Settings".

I am hoping to roll it out to 20 users if everything goes OK, but this would be a blocker to us moving ahead if it is something that cannot be resolved.

Oh, and I also installed the CatLight extension in Azure DevOps.

Many thanks

Simon

I have workaround: If I go to the settings and then go back the icons are back. But it would be nice to not need the workaround.

In CatLight 3.7.3, an error is shown when the user attempts to save an empty build failure investigation comment. 

Thanks,
Neil

We have one build pipeline that got a warning a couple months ago when an internal software scan service was in maintenance. Since then, there have been two successful builds, but in my Actions panel the build still shows as a warning.  

Investigate and Stop investigation didn't change the status, so Catlight always shows as yellow even when everything has been green.

Is this by design?  If not, I'll file a ticket.

I have seen the error message below regularly on daily basis. I can fix it by re-authenticating with my Azure DevOps but it will come back again after some time. It is very frustrating. Can you please tell me how i can get rid of it permanently?

Apple completed transitioning to Apple Silicon (ARM) chips in June 2023.

In the past CatLight Support indicated that ARM support is on the product roadmap and requires significant changes to the build infrastructure.

This can happen if a user is a "Protected Users" group member, and integrated Windows authentication is disabled for this user. See Microsoft's KB for more details.

Workarounds (use one of them):

• Add your credentials to the Windows credential manager. Open Windows Control Panel -> Credential Manager. Go to "Windows Credentials" tab, and add the credentials that you use to connect to Azure DevOps server. User Azure DevOps hostname as network address, e.g. "tfs.mycorp.com". Then Use "auto-detect settings" in CatLight to connect to Azure DevOps.
• If appropriate, you can remove the current user account from "Protected Users" group in Active Directory
• Use Azure DevOps personal access tokens instead of integrated Windows authentication in CatLight. In AzureDevOps connection settings in CatLight, you can use your email as user name, and personal access token as a password. To get a personal access token, go to Azure DevOps, click on your user picture in top right -> Security -> Personal access tokens -> New Token.
  • In the organization dropdown, select "All accessible organizations"
  • Either provide a "full access" scope, or more granular access that should include:
    • Build - Read and execute
    • Code - Read, Status (for getting pull requests)
    • Graph - Read
    • Identity - Read
    • Project and Team - Read
    • Release - Read
    • Test management - Read
    • User Profile - Read
    • Work Items - Read and Write
  • You can set long expiration time to avoid repeating this process frequently (e.g. 1 year)

When I set up the CatLight Windows app it worked initially. When I closed it and re-opened, I get this message at the top (yellow bar).

Clicking "Review & Fix" shows that server (https://dev.azure.com/osfi-bsif) is returning a 302.

I have 2 OAuth accounts (one is my usual account - emmanuel.eriksson@osfi-bsif.gc.ca) and the other is and admin account for ADO. I switch back and forth from time to time in order to do my work. Some other users in our organization also have an admin account on ADO.

The following pipeline is all green after a few retries

However, Catlight reports it as being red. I presume it is due to looking up only the first attempt

Catlight version is 3.1.3

Can you look into this? Thanks in advance

If the Catlight window goes to the background behind other windows I can't bring it back it doesn't show up on my list of windows so you have to run it again to get it back.

Filter settings are not changed, for default and action list. They are identical in every dashboard.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I have 3 dashboards. 2 of them is all "green" and the last has two failed build, both of which I have "ackowlegded". 

Catlight icon on the top of the dashboard is correctly a red outline, but the Windows Taskbar icon i solid red.

I think I started seeing this with v3.0.31
