Description

Describe the bug
After installation of this extension the Open in Excel extension stopped working. The option disappeared from the menu in Queries, also caused Work Item Print extension to stop working.

Environment:

  • Browser : Chrome
  • onpremises Azure DevOps Server 2022.0.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install extension Open in Excel
  2. Go to Queries
  3. Run a query that will produce results
  4. Click the options menu [...]

Expected behavior
Open in Excel is on the menu and can be selected by the user. Clicking this option will open Excel with a connection to ADO and the query results in the spreadsheet.

Actual Behavior
After installing the WIQL editor extension the Open in Excel option is now gone from the menu. It still shows up as an installed extension but no longer selectable.
The same is happening to the Work Item Print extension, it is no longer available after installing the WIQL editor.

Additional context
We have a lot of users that rely on the Open in Excel functionality. We received good user feedback for WIQL editor but it cannot be deployed to our enterprise if it remove other functionality.

Research direction

Reproduce the conflict in Chrome on Azure DevOps Server 2022.0.1 by installing WIQL editor, running a query, and opening the Queries options menu. Inspect how the extension registers its menu contribution and compare it with Open in Excel and Work Item Print. Done means both existing options remain visible and selectable while WIQL editor is installed.
