Is there a way to set default shell options for the entire pipelines file?
In github actions you could do it at the workflow level using the 'defaults > shell' value e.g. bash --noprofile --norc -eo pipefail {0}
and this would affect all shell steps in the entire workflow. As far as I can tell, there is no equivalent option in azure devops and I would be forced to copy/paste for each 'bash' task.
You can add the SHELLOPTS variable for the entire pipeline, which would at least get you the -eo pipefail part:
variables:
SHELLOPTS: errexit:pipefail
It is currently not supported to set default shell options in Azure DevOps. Every bash task represents a new session in one Azure Pipeline workflow.

As part of build I am using 'envsubst' command to replace all secrets from environment variables to my application configuration file. We are using Azure DevOps pipeline for our build process and now start using Azure KeyVault to store all these Secrets. Current Issue is that I am not able to make these secrets as environment variable in MS based agent runner. I tried to refer multiple documents but nothing helps.
Did anyone able to set the Azure KeyVault secrets as environment variable on the build agent runner. Any clue/guidance will be of help
Tried using setvariable task but it helps to read the secret and use it within job but not help insetting that variable as environment variable
task: Bash#3
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: |
# Write your commands here
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=MySecret;issecret=true]$(MY-SECRET)"
Export and set command inside shell task is not allowing to setup environment variable
Also tried env setting, but that too didn't help
env:
MYSECRET: $(MY-SECRET)
Anyone who have implemented the same, do let me know
I am using the Azure CLI task Version 2. The only problem, i need some output so that it´s showed as part of the pipeline run. The task however wraps all inline scripts in a script file so that i can´t see the output. How can I achieve that?
Thank you. It works now, you are right, I used the Bash#3 task instead. I use the output from the AzCLI task to define a pipeline variable and the bash task to print it.
service=$(kubectl get service --namespace $(aks-namespace) -o jsonpath='{.items[0].status.loadBalancer.ingress[0]}')
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=serviceip]$service"
I have two pipelines(Pipeline A and Pipeline B) configured for build and release and Pipeline A triggers Pipeline B for deployment.
I defined variables on pipeline A and need them on pipeline B to use for deployment . is it possible to pass them between two these pipelines ?.
any leads are much appreciated.
You can use for that variable group. Here you have doc about variable group.
Use a variable group to store values that you want to control and make available across multiple pipelines. You can also use variable groups to store secrets and other values that might need to be passed into a YAML pipeline. Variable groups are defined and managed in the Library page under Pipelines.
What you need is declare the same variable in both pipelines:
variables:
- group: my-variable-group
and for instance if you want to update variable in one pipeline and have this updated value available in second you can use Azure CLI
az pipelines variable-group variable update --group-id
--name
[--detect {false, true}]
[--new-name]
[--org]
[--project]
[--prompt-value {false, true}]
[--secret {false, true}]
[--value]
You should call this command from Azure CLI task
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: Azure CLI
inputs:
azureSubscription: <Name of the Azure Resource Manager service connection>
scriptType: ps
scriptLocation: inlineScript
inlineScript: |
az --version
az pipelines variable-group --group-id value-of-group-id --name some-name --org your-org --project your-project --value some-value
And if you wanto to Trigger one pipeline after another you can use pipeline resource:
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: securitylib # Name of the pipeline resource
source: security-lib-ci # Name of the pipeline referenced by the pipeline resource
trigger:
branches:
- releases/*
- master
Just like Krzysztof Madej pointed out, Variable groups will help to share static values across builds and releases pipeline.
What you need is a way to pass variables from one pipeline to another. I'm afraid to say there is no official way to do this for now.
As a workaround you could update the value of your variables inside your variable group. There are multiple ways to handle this, Rest API, powershell, 3rd-party extension. Detail ways please refer answers in this question: How to Increase/Update Variable Group value using Azure Devops Build Definition?
If you want to get the value of variable in the pipeline. Since you have used logging command to update that variable.
What you need to do only is using Rest API to get that particular build log to fetch related info.
How to pass variables from one pipeline to another pipeline in azure devops
You could set some default variables in the release pipeline, then add a inline powershell task to invoke the REST API (Definitions - Update) to update the value of the release definition variable in the build pipeline with values comes from build pipeline.
PUT https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=5.0
Now, we could use the values from multiple pipelines in the release pipeline.
Please check my previous thread for some more details.
Note：Do not forget to use REST API to restore those changed variables to the default value, so that we could use it next time.
i have a branch in git with a .yaml build file which has a script to simply print out the value of the variable declared in the .yaml
if i run the command: az pipelines run --id 999 --variables "myvar=myvar" I expected the variable to change as I am injecting it. it doesnt.
am i misunderstanding what this switch does? if so, what is it supposed to do and/or how can i achieve my goal?

For az pipelines variable ,there are four commands
az pipelines variable create Add a variable to a pipeline.
az pipelines variable delete Delete a variable from pipeline.
az pipelines variable list List the variables in a pipeline.
az pipelines variable updateUpdate a variable in a pipeline.
You should use az pipelines variable update command to update a variable in a pipeline.
Command sample:
az pipelines variable update --name
I am new to VSTS and Azure Kubernetes. I am building a VSTS CD pipeline. I have added a Deploy to Kubernetes task in my pipeline. I am executing the get command and trying to store the output in the output variables (which is available at the bottom of the Deploy to kubernetes task). I have set the variable name.
I am trying to fetch the value of the above output variable. I have used command line task to set a value to the variable as mentioned below
echo '##vso[task.setvariable variable=myStatusVar;isSecret=false;]$(myvar)'
where myvar is the variable, which is set in the Deploy to kubernetes task as output variable.
After that in another command line task, I am trying to access the myStatusVar variable value, but when I execute the release pipeline, it shows the message:
myvar command not found
Can anyone let me know, how to use the output variable of the Deploy to kuberentes task of VSTS pipeline?
As stated in the comments your variable is 'exposed' as 'myvar.KubectlOutput'
the way you are able to use it in scripts differs based on type of scripting you are doing:
Batch script: %MYVAR_KUBECTLOUTPUT%
PowerShell script: $env:MYVAR_KUBECTLOUTPUT
Bash script: $MYVAR_KUBECTLOUTPUT
Azure Devops 'designer view': $(myvar.KubectlOutput)
