How to get information about the current users about azure-devops-go-api

Hi,

not exactly sure what you mean by UniqueName but to get info about current account you can use something like this

	locationClient := location.NewClient(ctx, connection)
	conData, _ := locationClient.GetConnectionData(ctx, location.GetConnectionDataArgs{})
	log.Printf("Display Name: %v", *conData.AuthorizedUser.ProviderDisplayName)

I can't find the GetConnectionData method, I'm using the version from dev

Hi,

it is in the github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-go-api/azuredevops/location

Here is minimal working sample

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-go-api/azuredevops"
	"github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-go-api/azuredevops/location"
)

func main() {
	organizationUrl := "https://dev.azure.com/XXX"                     // todo: replace value with your organization url
	personalAccessToken := "XXXX" // todo: replace value with your PAT

	connection := azuredevops.NewPatConnection(organizationUrl, personalAccessToken)
	ctx := context.Background()
	locationClient := location.NewClient(ctx, connection)
	conData, _ := locationClient.GetConnectionData(ctx, location.GetConnectionDataArgs{})
	fmt.Printf("Display Name: %v", *conData.AuthorizedUser.ProviderDisplayName)
}

if I use NewClient from the package github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-go-api/azuredevops/workitemtracking what to do then? I have a task to perform certain actions if the comment to WI (workitem) is from the current user (the user under whose token you logged in)
