`continuationToken` not set on `PagedList<T>` preventing pagination

[nuthanmunaiah]

Client methods (e.g., GitApi.getRepositoriesPaged in the demonstration below) do not seem to set the continuationToken property of the PagedList<T> object returned. Without the continuationToken, there is no way to get the next page of results.

Demonstration

Name of the organization and project has been anonymized in the code below.

import { getPersonalAccessTokenHandler, WebApi } from "./WebApi";

async function main() {
  const token = process.env.AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT || "";
  const handler = getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token);
  const webApi = new WebApi("https://dev.azure.com/organization/", handler);
  const gitApi = await webApi.getGitApi();
  {
    console.log("Without Pagination");
    const repositories = await gitApi.getRepositories("project");
    console.log(`  # Repositories: ${repositories.length}`);
  }
  console.log("----------------------");
  {
    console.log("With Pagination (top = 10)");
    const repositories = await gitApi.getRepositoriesPaged(
      "project",
      undefined,
      undefined,
      undefined,
      undefined,
      10
    );
    console.log(`  # Repositories: ${repositories.length}`);
    console.log(`  Continuation Token: ${repositories.continuationToken}`);
  }
}

main();

Output

As shown below, there are 326 repositories returned by GitApi.getRepositories. However, when GitApi.getRepositoriesPaged (which returns PagedList<GitRepository>>) with top set to 10 is used, the continuationToken property of PagedList<GitRepository> is not set, preventing the requesting of next page of repositories.

Output shown below is from a Microsoft-internal Azure DevOps project.

$ npx ts-node api/scratch.ts
Without Pagination
  # Repositories: 326
----------------------
With Pagination
  # Repositories: 10
  Continuation Token: undefined

I have verified that the repositoriesPaged endpoint returns the continuation token in the x-ms-continuationtoken response header, but the methods that return PagedList<T> do not appear to be setting the continuationToken property with the value of the x-ms-continuationtoken response header.

$ curl -s -D - -o /dev/null -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://dev.azure.com/organization/_apis/git/project/repositoriesPaged?%24top=10" | grep x-ms-continuationtoken
x-ms-continuationtoken: repository-eleven
