Description

I don't see any docs on this yet...

We are on TFS 2017 Update 3.

When I rebuild and try the samples, after I change the category in the manifest to something recognized (TFS complains about the Pipelines category when I try to upload the .vsix to my on-prem), and add missing .html content types, I get the following:

It's trying to invokeRemoteMethod with a parameter of "Devops.HostControl", which i guess is something that's supposed to be on the server already? So this means my TFS is not supported?

parentChannel.invokeRemoteMethod<IExtensionHandshakeResult>("initialHandshake", hostControlId, [initOptions]).then((handshakeData) => {

Research direction

The report centers on initialHandshake and invokeRemoteMethod, with TFS 2017 Update 3 and the manifest category changes as context. First verify the server-version support and HostControl requirement against the samples and extension documentation; done means the supported versions and any required server setup are clearly documented.
