Getting Started

Installation

To install fabric-cicd, run:

pip install fabric-cicd

Authentication

• You can optionally provide your own credential object that aligns with the TokenCredential class. For more details, see the TokenCredential documentation.

• If you do not provide a token_credential parameter, the library will use the Azure SDK's DefaultAzureCredential for authentication.

  • Refer to the Azure SDK documentation for the order in which credential types are attempted.

  • For local development with a User Principal Name (UPN), install either the Azure CLI or the Az.Accounts PowerShell module.

  • Note: When no credential is provided, the DefaultAzureCredential may select an unexpected identity. For example, if you log in to the Azure CLI with a Service Principal Name (SPN) but log in to Az.Accounts with a UPN, the DefaultAzureCredential will prioritize the CLI authentication.

Directory Structure

This library deploys from a directory containing files and directories committed via the Fabric Source Control UI. Ensure the repository_directory includes only these committed items, with the exception of the parameter.yml file.

/<your-directory>
    /<item-name>.<item-type>
        ...
    /<item-name>.<item-type>
        ...
    /<workspace-subfolder>
        /<item-name>.<item-type>
            ...
        /<item-name>.<item-type>
            ...
    /parameter.yml

GIT Flow

The flow pictured below is the hero scenario for this library and is the recommendation if you're just starting out.

• Deployed branches are not connected to workspaces via GIT Sync
• Feature branches are connected to workspaces via GIT Sync
• Deployed workspaces are only updated through script-based deployments, such as through the fabric-cicd library
• Feature branches are created from the default branch, merged back into the default Deployed branch, and cherry picked into the upper Deployed branches
• Each deployment is a full deployment and does not consider commit diffs
