The ProcessDefinitionProcessor appears to have compatibility issues with the current endpoint implementations.

The error I keep getting:

I tried changing to TfsTeamProjectEndpoint but it doesn't accept it:

Unable to cast object of type 'MigrationTools.Clients.TfsTeamProjectEndpoint' to type 'MigrationTools.Endpoints.AzureDevOpsEndpoint'.

Is there something I am missing or is this a bug?

[MrHinsh]

You should be using TfsTeamProjectEndpoint and not AzureDevOpsEndpoint

UPDATE: Im fairly sure AzureDevOpsEndpoint is correct... the opposite error form the usage through me off.

[AnaMariaChi]

I tried that too but it seems not to accept it. It errors with:
"Unable to cast object of type 'MigrationTools.Clients.TfsTeamProjectEndpoint' to type 'MigrationTools.Endpoints.AzureDevOpsEndpoint'. etc"

[MrHinsh]

What baout if you use AzureDevOpsEndpoint like you have above?
