VSTS Extension - Get build URL

Question

I'm developing a VSTS extension in Javascript.

In one of my tasks, I need to get a link to my build results. I tried to read from {$Build.BuildUri} but it gives me vstfs:///Build/Build/{buildId} and not a real link.

How can I get a direct link to my build results? I need it both in build and in release pipelines.

What do you mean *my* build results? if I have 10 build definitions and each build have 10 build results, url of what do you need? — Shayki Abramczyk, Aug 29 '18 at 08:11
URL to the build results of the build itself during the build. — yahavi, Aug 29 '18 at 13:00
Yes. I want to get a link to the build results page from my task. — yahavi, Aug 30 '18 at 11:09

The build result page use the URL formatted as below:

https://{vstscollectionuri}/{projectname}/_build/results?buildId={buildid}&_a=summary

And you can get these information via the Predefined Build Variables during the build. In your build task, get the following variables and then combine them to the build result URL.

System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri

System.TeamProject

Build.BuildId

Note that System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri will contain the http scheme as well as a trailing slash. The final string using variables is: `$(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri)$(System.TeamProject)/_build/results?buildId=$(Build.BuildId)&_a=summary` – badsyntax Jun 30 '21 at 07:21
