I have a GitHub workflow that creates Artifact(s). I also have a last step within that workflow that triggers an Azure DevOps Release Pipeline. I modified an existing release pipeline to change the artifacts from an ADO Build Pipeline to GitHub (and made the service connection in ADO).
- uses: Azure/pipelines#v1
with:
azure-devops-project-url: 'https://dev.azure.com/some_org/some_project'
azure-pipeline-name: 'Name_Of_Release_Pipeline'
azure-devops-token: '${{ secrets.ADOPAT }}'
So the issue is that the Release Pipeline will not retrieve nor download the associated build artifact from GitHub. I can see that the GitHub workflow build information is stored in various Environment Variables, so the Release Pipeline is retrieving various metadata from the GitHub build, but why won't it download?
FYI - There is a ADO task that does download GitHub "release" artifacts but the GitHub repo I am building has not yet created a "release" and thus there are no artifacts to download. So that doesn't help.
You can try to install the Azure DevOps extension "GitHub Actions" to your Azure DevOps organization where the release pipeline is in.
This extension contains two build/release tasks:
Run a GitHub Workflow
Download GitHub Workflow Artifacts
For your case, you can try to use the Download GitHub Workflow Artifacts task in your release pipeline to download the artifacts from the latest run of the specified GitHub workflow.

Assume we have 2 git repos in Azure DevOps "RepoA" and "RepoB".
RepoA has few class library projects whose references are being used in main project which is in RepoB.
So in Azure Pipeline can we create a Build of RepoA and this build output can be used by another pipeline configured for RepoB build?
I am using clasic build template.
Sure. In the build pipeline for RepoB, you can use the Download Pipeline Artifacts task to download the artifacts from the latest or specified build of RepoA.
In the build pipeline for RepoA, after building the class library, use the Publish Pipeline Artifacts task to publish the artifacts as as a pipeline artifact.
In the build pipeline for RepoB, before the build task, add the Download Pipeline Artifacts task to download artifacts from from the latest or specified build version of RepoA.
I'm trying to implement azure automatic pipeline build with azure-pipelines.yaml
i have tried the below methods in order to get it work.
azure-pipelines.yaml(yml)
.vsts-ci.yml(yaml)
.azure-pipelines.yaml(yml)
But when I'm trying with UI it's detecting.
Is it possible to build auto build pipeline in Azure-devops?
If you're building a GitHub repo in an Azure DevOps pipeline, there's some stuff you need to setup.
Azure Pipelines can automatically build and validate every pull request and commit to your GitHub repository. This article describes how to configure the integration between GitHub and Azure Pipelines.
If you're new to Azure Pipelines integration with GitHub, follow the steps in Create your first pipeline to get your first pipeline working with a GitHub repository, and then come back to this article to learn more about configuring and customizing the integration between GitHub and Azure Pipelines.
Source: Build GitHub repositories.
If you explicitly need a DevOps Pipeline to build your GitHub repo, have a look at the article linked to above. Otherwise think about either working with GitHub Actionshttps://github.com/features/actions on your GitHub repo, or hosting your repo in Azure Repos.
Depending on where your repository is located you should place your .yml file inside this repository in order to work with the trigger. You should also use the trigger keyword.
Then when you create your pipeline, you will choose Github, Azure Repos Git, whatever you use and select existing pipeline.
If you use the starter pipeline of Azure Devops, the pipeline will trigger out of the box when a commit is pushed on the main branch.
# Starter pipeline
# Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code.
# Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more:
# https://aka.ms/yaml
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- script: echo Hello, world!
displayName: 'Run a one-line script'
- script: |
echo Add other tasks to build, test, and deploy your project.
echo See https://aka.ms/yaml
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
You can change main to which ever branch you need to trigger automatically.
We have a .NET ASP Web form application. Currently we use TeamCity for the CI part. Deployment part is manual. We take the build artifact generated by TeamCity and deploy the artifact manually.
Now we will be using Azure DevOps for complete CICD process. During the POC we have been able to successfully build and deploy the application in IIS. I am new to the azure pipeline and doing POCs to learn it.
In TeamCity, against each build the generated build artifacts are available. So we can easily refer to any specific build and get the build artifact for that specific build. This is useful in case of rollback. We take the last successfully build artifacts and deploy the same in case of any error.
But in Azure is there any build artifacts repository where we can get the all the build artifacts for all the builds of that pipeline ? There is a section "Artifacts" but as per my knowledge this is for publishing as packages across feeds.
Now I have come across JFrog artifact repository https://jfrog.com/artifactory/. But no nothing about this. Need to go through.
Anyone can please let me know , in azure pipelines , where I can get all the build artifacts against all the builds in a pipeline. Is it available against each run in the pipeline or I need to configure it somehow ?
In any release failure , I need to rollback to the last successful deployed artifact version.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.
Azure Artifacts is feed source for packages like nuget etc.
And build/pipeline artifact you can find in your build here (of course if you published them):
Here you have documentation about publishing and downloading pipeline artifacts - newer and recommended approach and here about build artifacts
In short what you needs is add this step:
- task: PublishPipelineArtifact#0
displayName: 'Publish pipeline artifacts'
inputs:
targetPath: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/
archiveFilePatterns: '**/*.zip'
Of course if your pipeline output is a nuegt package you can publish it to Azure Artifacts.
Im using Azure DevOps and have setup a "Release" pipeline, not a "Build" pipeline, and I want Release Pipeline to get is Artifacts from my Azure Storage Accounts.
The Artifacts have already been built and are Nuget package (.nupkg) files. I have copied them into an Azure Storage Account as File Storage. All they need to do is be use by a release pipeline.
So my question is how do I get my Azure Release Pipeline to get these files and use them in the Release?
There isn't any native way to download automatically the binaries from a storage at the beginning of the release, you will have to add your own tasks to download it from the release (and add the connection string as a variables).
The usual pattern to share generated files between a build and a release is to use an Azure DevOps Artifact. You will need to add a the "Publish Build Artifacts" task to your build and then you will be able to link it to your release by clicking "+ Add" on the artifact panel.
I created an azure build pipe line and published the artifacts. While releasing I want to know the artifact is created or not. How to check the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release
How to check availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release
Since you have published the artifacts, you do not need to check the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release on purpose.
That because the built-in Download Artifacts will check and download the Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline when your release source type is Build:
Besides, if you want to manually check the the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release, you could use the Download Build Artifacts task to download the artifact to check it.
Hope this helps.
