the code above is from my yaml azure pipeline with using bitbucket repo. Anytime I do a PR in my bitbucket repository I expect build pipeline to run automatically in azure devops but it's not the case. Currently, I have to run the pipeline manually to complete PR validation. creating pipeline with the same line of code under another repo works correctly. I'm not sure what the problem is.
I created anoter dummy pipeline with a new project, the pr triggered build automatically when pr to the the master. the webhohook seems to be working fine. the trigger option doesn't override the yaml pipeline. I can't think of anything else to check.

I have a PR checker triggered when someone creates a pull request in Github. My yml file is on GitHub and the pipeline is on Azure DevOps. So, here is my trigger:
PR check
pr:
branches:
include:
- main
paths:
include:
- src/Web
trigger: none
But, when someone makes changes in other directories that are not included in the path above, let's say in src/API or docs it triggers the pipeline and runs a build check. It's not supposed to be checked as I have another pipeline for it.
Can someone point out where the error is?
I have a YAML build pipeline which resides on the repo PipelineRepo, branch master.
It contains a reference to a second repo AppRepo with a trigger on branch dev.
When a commit is made on AppRepo/dev, the build triggers and produces an artifact. The Build.SourceBranch predefined variable available during the build is of course dev as this was the triggering branch on AppRepo. This is as per the docs here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/multi-repo-checkout?view=azure-devops#triggers
The specific part of the docs is this:
When an update to one of the repositories triggers a pipeline, then
the following variables are set based on triggering repository:
Build.Repository.ID
Build.Repository.Name
Build.Repository.Provider
Build.Repository.Uri
Build.SourceBranch
Build.SourceBranchName
Build.SourceVersion
Build.SourceVersionMessage
I consume the artifact in a Release pipeline, where I have a "Dev" stage with an artifact filter for branch dev:
I have a continuous deployment trigger on the artifact for branch dev:
Now we come to the problem
Every time a new build artifact is produced from the AppRepo/dev branch, the continuous deployment trigger doesn't fire because it thinks the build branch of the artifact was PipelineRepo/master. This is also true of the artifact filter on the stage - I have tested it by changing the continuous deployment trigger to master.
Note: you can see on the screenshot the build name contains the word "dev". This is because I use the Build.SourceBranch var in my custom build name. This proves the artifact is definitely produced by the AppRepo/dev triggering branch.
How can I get the DevOps Release Pipeline to pick up the triggering branch?
Based on your description, I could reproduce the similar issue in my organization.
When the pipeline is triggered by another repo branch, it still show the master branch in Release artifacts.
At the same time, the display of the trigger branch is also inconsistent in Pipelines.
For example:
Overview:
Detail view:
I suggest that you could create a feedback ticket in Our feedback Site.
For a workaround:
You could add a build tag in Pipeline to distinguish artifacts.
Yaml sample:
resources:
repositories:
- repository: test
type: git
name: 123/ARM
trigger:
- test
steps:
- checkout: test
- script: echo "##vso[build.addbuildtag]$(Build.SourceBranch)"
Release Pipeline:
You could set the master branch and add the build tag.
Is it possible to have a yaml pipeline trigger on commits/PRs for branches of different repositories (e.g. Repo A) to the one the azure-pipelines.yaml file is in (e.g. Repo B)?
I'm aware I can build the pipeline against Repo B and have it checkout Repo A using e.g:
resources:
repositories:
- repository: Repo A
type: github
endpoint: ***
name: ***/RepoA
trigger:
- master
But the trigger is only applying to Repo B, i.e. when I make a commit on master to Repo A, the pipeline does not trigger.
The "Sprint 173" release seems to be including the multi-repo triggers feature. I suspect you might be missing the ref.
Here is an example that shows how to define multiple repository
resources in a pipeline and how to configure triggers on all of them.
trigger:
- main
resources:
repositories:
- repository: tools
type: git
name: MyProject/tools
ref: main
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
- release
The pipeline in this example will be triggered if there are any
updates to:
main branch in the self repo containing the YAML file
main or release branches in tools repo
Unfortunately Multi-repo triggers is supported for Github repo resources yet.
As it is said in the document:
Repository resource triggers only work for Azure Repos Git repositories at present. They do not work for GitHub or Bitbucket repository resources.
If you were using Azure Repos Git repositories. You need to specify the trigger section for the repository resources in order to enable the Multi-repo triggers. See document here for more information.
Since you are using github, you can use pipeline completion triggers as workaround. You can refer to below steps to setup a pipeline completion trigger for RepoB pipeline.
1, Set up the triggering pipeline for RepoA.
You can create a pipeline for github RepoA in azure devops. Classic UI pipeline is recommanded, for it won't add a azure-pipelines.yaml file in your RepoA.
I suggest you add a empty agent job(without any tasks)in the triggering pipeline. So that the pipeline run will always be successful.
You need to Enable continuous integration for this triggering pipeline. So that the commits/PRs for branches in RepoA will automatically trigger this pipeline.
In the pipeline Edit page, Go to Triggers tab, Check Enable continuous integration, Add the branches you want to enable CI in the Branches Filters section
2, Set up pipeline resources in triggered pipeline (ie. azure-pipelines.yaml file for RepoB)
Add the pipeline resources and specify the trigger section in the pipeline resource. See below example:
resources:
repositories:
- repository: Repo A
type: github
endpoint: ***
name: ***/RepoA
pipelines:
- pipeline: repoAPipeline # Name of the pipeline resource
source: triggeringPipeline-RepoA # Name of the triggering pipeline
trigger:
branches:
- releases/*
- master
When changes are made to RepoA, the triggering pipeline will be triggered and complete successfully. When the triggering pipeline is completed, Pipeline for RepoB will be triggered.
By setting up the triggering pipeline for RepoA and the pipeline resources in pipeline of RepoB. You can achieve the same effect with Multi-repo triggers.
I'd like to push the build status automatically from Azure Devops to the github repository, so that pull requests can check for a build success before they can be merged.
I realise this can be done writing some custom code and calling the github status api, but there is a checkbox for it in the edit pipeline stage. It doesn't seem to work with Github though. See this image .
Other build tools like Bamboo have an out of the box plugin for doing this.
You need to define branch policy. You can read about this on my blog. You need to selected existing pipeline here in GitHub settings:
and then when you make PR you will get this:
You need to correctly define trigger options in your yaml file. For isntance:
this will run for all non master branch (with each commit pushed to GitHub pipeline will run)
for each merge to master will trigger pipeline too
trigger:
branches:
include:
- '*'
exclude:
- master
pr:
branches:
include:
- master
paths:
include:
- gated-checkin/*
exclude:
- gated-checkin/azure-pipelines.yml
In my project I want to configure a CI and a PR build. I chose these to be separate builds, because the status badge gets dirtied if the same build is used for both CI and PR.
In my CI build I configured
trigger:
branches:
include:
- 'master'
However, when I create a PR, it gets triggered. Even in the Azure DevOps UI I can see the PR trigger as being "enabled" (see below). Note that I do not override any trigger.
You have to add pr: none in the yaml file to stop PR triggers. By default it is triggered for all branches. For CI also it is same.
