azure-devops extension unable to parse devops repos ssh urls to detect organization and project

Summary

vsts build list does not work on valid git repository.

Steps to reproduce:

1. take git repository from project defined at azure devops (ssh.visualstudio.com:v3/$org/$project/$repo)

2. git clone repository to working directory

3. cd to working directory

4. run vsts build list and get the error ( see details below )

Workaround:

1. change [remote "origin"] url inside .git/config

from

$[e-mail]:v3/$org/$project/$repo

to

ssh://$[e-mail]:22/$org/$project/_ssh/$repo

1. run vsts build list , now it succeeds

Details:

$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

$ vsts build list
--instance must be specified. The value should be the URI of your VSTS account, for example: https://<account>.visualstudio.com or your TFS project collection. You can set a default value by running: vsts configure --defaults instance=https://<account>.visualstudio.com. For auto detection to work (--detect on), you must be in a local Git directory that has a "remote" referencing a VSTS or TFS repository.

Fixed in Azure-Devops-Extension. Will be available in version 0.3.0

@steveculshaw Thanks for the feedback! Glad that you could troubleshoot and figure out the issue.

As you already figured out, when inside a git directory, organization, project in the remote url takes precedence over set defaults (vsts configure --defaults instance=<your org url> project=<your project name>). This is the current behavior and my understanding is you do not have an issue with it.

However your issue with confusion around which organization is being used seems valid, and can be resolved with documentation and better error message.
