Azure Pipeline in queue? - azure-devops

Question

This is my folder Structure in code.
Here is my azure-pipeline01.yml
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
- release/*
- feature/*
- bug-fix/*
paths:
include:
- OutSideFolderEAIL/Folder01
exclude:
- OutSideFolderEAIL/Folder02
pool:
vmImage: windows-latest
variables:
mydate: $(Get-Date -Format yyyy-MM-dd__hhmmss)
jobs:
- job: firstjob
steps:
- powershell: |
New-Item -Path . -Name "$(Build.DefinitionName)__$(Build.SourceBranchName)__$(Build.BuildId)__$(mydate).dacpac" -ItemType "file" -Value "This is a text string."
dir
- job: SecondJob
steps:
- powershell: |
Write-Host "executing azure-pipeline01.yml"
Here is my azure-pipeline02.yml
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
- release/*
- feature/*
- bug-fix/*
paths:
include:
- OutSideFolderEAIL/Folder02
exclude:
- OutSideFolderEAIL/Folder01
pool:
vmImage: windows-latest
variables:
mydate: $(Get-Date -Format yyyy-MM-dd__hhmmss)
jobs:
- job: firstjob
steps:
- powershell: |
New-Item -Path . -Name "$(Build.DefinitionName)__$(Build.SourceBranchName)__$(Build.BuildId)__$(mydate).dacpac" -ItemType "file" -Value "This is a text string."
dir
- job: SecondJob
steps:
- powershell: |
Write-Host "executing azure-pipeline02.yml"
I want to execute azure-pipeline01.yml and the azure-pipeline02.yml one by one in sequence using 3rd pipeline called as "azure-pipeline-all.yaml" ? how to achieve the same? azure-pipeline-all.yaml will be manually triggered always.

Answer 1

You add two stages in azure-pipeline-all.yaml:
stages:
- stage: pipeline01
displayName: Trigger azure-pipeline01
jobs:
- job: RunTests
steps:
- task: PowerShell#2
name: Dummy
displayName: 'Dummy Do Nothing'
continueOnError: false
inputs:
targetType: Inline
script: |
echo "Dummy"
- stage: pipeline02
displayName: Trigger azure-pipeline02
dependsOn:
- pipeline01
jobs:
- job: RunTests
steps:
- task: PowerShell#2
name: Dummy
displayName: 'Dummy Do Nothing'
continueOnError: false
inputs:
targetType: Inline
script: |
echo "Dummy"
Then, in Pipeline01 and Pipeline02, you add the trigger:
trigger:
- none
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: MyCIAlias
source: azure-pipeline-all
trigger:
stages:
- pipeline02 #This is Triggered when stage pipeline02 of pipeline azure-pipeline-all has finished
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/yaml-schema/resources-pipelines-pipeline?view=azure-pipelines
However, if you want Pipeline02 to wait for Pipeline01 to finish, it becomes more tricky: you could just skip azure-pipeline-all all together and just trigger Pipeline02 when Pipeline01 finishes, using the same concept of resources.pipelines triggers.
