Azure Split - Use MDS Common Project #3873

paulmedynski · 2026-01-09T17:53:21Z

Description

This is a general cleanup PR, mostly focused on using the new MDS common project:

Update the Azure split work to start using the MDS common project
Eliminate the wonky MDS AssemblyName hack introduced earlier.
A few fixes to the Azure project tests to get them running as closely as possible to how they were when they lived in the Functional and Manual test projects.
Added what I believe to be a few missing #if _WINDOWS conditions.

Testing

The normal PR/CI runs will verify things generally. I have manually inspected the tests that were moved into the Azure project.

…gets from netfx project.

Abstractions Package - Pipeline Changes (#3628) Move AAD/Entra Authentication into new Azure package (#3680) User Story 39839: Move existing MDS tests to Azure package - Identified and moved tests specific to ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationProvider into the Azure Test project. - Updated some MDS tests that unnecessarily used ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationProvider. - Added tests to Abstractions Test project to ensure AAD/Entra auth fails when the Azure package isn't present. - Various build and pipeline changes to support the test changes. - Fixed project-based builds so we can restore MDS netcore and netfx projects at the same time. - Added caching to the managed identity provider for the ManualTest project. - Moved username/password Entra auth provider into its own file for sharing across tests. - Added ADO service connection for test tasks that require access to Azure resources. - Added workload identity federation tests. - Solved the mystery of SNI DLLs missing for .NET Framework project-reference-based builds. - Added ADO-CI-1ES pool jobs to test the Azure package on Linux and Windows. - Fixed Azure package pipelines to support pools in the ADO.Net and Public projects. - Added some new pipeline variables to handle the Workload Identity Federation test.

- Removed unnecessary package ref to Microsoft.Win32.Registry.

…meworks, and choose better TargetOs defaults. - Updated Azure project tests to use the MDS common project.

Pull request overview

This pull request implements infrastructure changes to enable the Azure split work by using a common MDS project and eliminating the previous MDS AssemblyName workaround. The primary mechanism introduces conditional assembly name suffixes (.NetCore and .NetFx) for project-reference builds to resolve MSBuild conflicts when building downstream projects.

Key changes:

Introduces ApplyMdsAssemblyNameSuffix property to conditionally append assembly name suffixes
Creates new test infrastructure with UsernamePasswordProvider and ManagedIdentityProvider for AAD authentication tests
Refactors test organization by migrating tests from MDS to Azure Extensions package
Updates build targets, NuGet specs, and pipeline configurations to support the new assembly naming scheme

I'm still treating this as a work-in-progress, so as long as it works, I'm content enough with it. There's going to be lots of conflicts between this and main.

Couple recommendations imho:

See if you can bring some of these more general purpose changes into main directly
It'd be nice-ish if we can trim down some of the unrelated changes on these PRs. Like the pool names and linux build versions and sql server setup stuff isn't related to using MDS common. I'm being pretty lenient because it's not to main, but I feel like omnibus PRs would get me yelled at if I did it :)
