How to debug missing build-info in CI environment (Azure Devops Pipelines)

[SierraNL]

Hi,

We're currently doing a PoC to implement the JFrog suite.
And I'm trying to implement the "full-circle" in our standardized build pipeline.
Which is (simplified) on Linux for Docker Images

• jf dotnet restore
• jf audit
• jf dotnet build
• dotnet test
• dotnet publish
• create scratch image with the published code (we do this for base image update options)
• build real images from published artifact in the previous step + base image
• jf docker push the real images
• jf rt bp publish build info

And another job on Windows for .Net framework shared client nuget packages for the services

• jf dotnet restore
• jf audit
• jf dotnet build
• dotnet test
• dotnet pack
• jf dotnet nuget push
• jf rt bp publish build info

I would preferably get a single complete build-info containing artifacts from both jobs, but I struggle everywhere with build info also using 2 separate version for the jobs.
The steps above work, but I don't get dependencies for the nuget packages in the build info, and I completely can't get the published docker images showing up in the build info.

I tried:

• Fix the jfrog cli homedir
• Pass build name and version on each step
• Try to combine things in one jfrogcliv2 task (not a real solution, because there are more steps in between)

And debugging this is very time consuming and essentialy blindly running pipelines.
I would really like:

• More debug output that shows what info has been captured
• A CLI command that logs what has been captured in total
• Debug output of jf rt bp that shows what it is publishing

Am I doing something wrong, or is it because dotnet and azure devops pipelines aren't used much with Artifactory?
