如何在PowerShell中使用REST API在TFS中创建错误？

Question

I am trying to create a bug in TFS using REST API in PowerShell with the code below, but I'm unable to figure out how to fill the $Bug variable with names of those param's and data.

Param(
   [string]$vstsAccount = "MyAccountName",
   [string]$projectName = "ProjectName",
   [string]$keepForever = "true",
   [string]$user = "",
   [string]$token = "Mytoken"
)

# Base64-encodes the Personal Access Token (PAT) appropriately
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,$token)))
#$uri = "https://$($vstsAccount).visualstudio.com/$($projectName)/_apis/wit/workitems/$Bug?api-version=2.2"
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Get -ContentType "application/json" -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}

I could find a sample for C# here , but not for PowerShell. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

You need to create a JSON body to use the REST API to create a work item in PowserShell, and the Content-Type should be application/json-patch+json , also use PATCH method. See Create a work item for details.

You can reference below sample PowerShell script to create a bug:

Param(
   [string]$baseurl = "http://server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection",
   [string]$projectName = "ProjectName",
   [string]$keepForever = "true",
   [string]$user = "username",
   [string]$token = "token"
)

# Base64-encodes the Personal Access Token (PAT) appropriately
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,$token)))

function CreateJsonBody
{

    $value = @"

  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/fields/System.Title",
