question: is there a way to trigger a rerun for a certain build?

[FrancescElies]

I would like to trigger programatically the rerun failed jobs button

This is actually a PATCH to /_apis/build/builds/112560?retry=true

credentials = BasicAuthentication("", personal_access_token)
connection = Connection(base_url=organization_url, creds=credentials)
build_client = connection.clients.get_build_client()

# Get the first page of projects
projects = core_client.get_projects()
project = next(x for x in projects if x.name == "myorg")
build, *_ = build_client.get_builds( project=project.id, build_ids=[112560])

build.rerun_failed()  # what I would like to do

Is there something like rerun_failed()?

Currently no, but I should be able to implement something.

Thanks for the hint that this button triggers a PATCH to /_apis/build/builds/112560?retry=true. Do you know if that works with an empty body? The Rust SDK does currently implement update_build, but the spec says that a Build object is required as the body, which I don't think we should be passing if we are just retrying the build. If it does work without a body, I can fix up the SDK to allow this.

As far as I could see request body was empty :)

From my ThunderClient collection

PATCH: https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/stages/{stageRefName}?api-version=7.2-preview.1

With a body of

{
  "forceRetryAllJobs": true,
  "state": "retry"
}

@johnbatty any chances we could see this one?
I will gladly give it a try and extend it myself if you give me some hints where to look at.
