I have a Github and Azure Devops classic editor pipeline. I want to configure an auto-trigger of Azure pipeline after a commit happened in Github (If any commit happens in the repository, it needs to trigger my Azure Devops pipeline)
I tried configuring Continuous Integration in pipeline level, and it does not trigger my pipeline after a Github commit.
Many documents are for yaml pipeline but we need for classic editor pipeline. Could someone provide your inputs on how can we achieve the same ? Thanks!
You are looking for CI/CD triggers, you can simply choose the proper branch in the build trigger combo box.
"In the classic editor, pipeline triggers are called build completion triggers. You can select any other build in the same project to be the triggering pipeline.
After you add a build completion trigger, select the triggering build. If the triggering build is sourced from a Git repo, you can also specify branch filters. If you want to use wildcard characters, then type the branch specification (for example, features/modules/*) and then press Enter."

The configuration of #Bayoudhi Bilel is correct, after you select the Github as resource for Class editor pipeline, enable CI trigger in "Triggers" tab. (official doc here)
Check on my side, it works fine:
If your setting doesn't work, please firstly check if you have select correct branch to monitor. If it's correct, you can follow below steps to reconnect between azure devops and github repo.
Delete all webhooks on github repo setting.
Then edit your pipeline, go to "Triggers" tab, "restore" the webhook.
change to a new service connection(it's recommended to regenerate the github PAT, you can simply add all scope):
In my Azure devops, i did it by going to pipeline > Triggers tab and i activated "Enable continous integration". You can also configure the branches you want to build from.
It worked for me this way.
Please find screenshot attached.

I want to have my build pipeline configured such a way that when ever my pipeline fails there is a bug created for the same. I cannot find an option to select this configuration for a particular branch. Can someone help me with this.
I want to create a bug whenever my build pipeline fails in azure devops. And i want to have it configured for a particular branch
There is an option Create a work item on failure on the pipeline Options tab.
If the build pipeline fails, it can automatically create a work item to track getting the problem fixed.
But we could not configurate it for a particular branch for this option, but we could create a new pipeline with trigger filter Branch specification:
In this case, only the particular branch build failed, it will create a bug.
I created a classic CI azure pipeline for a .net application present in GitHub repo and enabled continuous integration in triggers and also added 2 branches in branch filters. But when my team members made some changes and make commits, my pipeline is not triggering and build is not created. I can't understand what might be the problem as I'm new to azure pipelines
Here is some troubleshooting advices, and you can click this document for more detailed information:
Are you using the GitHub app connection to connect the pipeline to GitHub? If you are using a GitHub app connection, follow these steps:
Is the mapping set up properly between GitHub and Azure DevOps? Open a
pull request in your GitHub repository, and make the comment /azp
where. This reports back the Azure DevOps organization that the
repository is mapped to.
If no organizations are set up to build this repository using the app,
go to
https://github.com/<org_name>/<repo_name>/settings/installations and
complete the configuration of the app.
If a different Azure DevOps organization is reported, then someone has
already established a pipeline for this repo in a different
organization. We currently have the limitation that we can only map a
GitHub repo to a single DevOps org. Only the pipelines in the first
Azure DevOps org can be automatically triggered. To change the
mapping, uninstall the app from the GitHub organization, and
re-install it. As you re-install it, make sure to select the correct
organization when you are redirected to Azure DevOps.
Are you using OAuth or PAT to connect the pipeline to GitHub? If you are using a GitHub connection, follow these steps:
OAuth and PAT connections rely on webhooks to communicate updates to
Azure Pipelines. In GitHub, navigate to the settings for your
repository, then to Webhooks. Verify that the webhooks exist. Usually
you should see three webhooks - push, pull_request, and issue_comment.
If you don't, then you must re-create the service connection and
update the pipeline to use the new service connection.
Select each of the webhooks in GitHub and verify that the payload that
corresponds to the user's commit exists and was sent successfully to
Azure DevOps. You may see an error here if the event could not be
communicated to Azure DevOps.
Is your pipeline paused or disabled? Open the editor for the pipeline, and then select Settings to check. If your pipeline is
paused or disabled, then triggers do not work.
Have you used variables in defining the trigger or the paths? That is not supported.
Have you excluded the branches or paths to which you pushed your changes? Test by pushing a change to an included path in an included
branch. Note that paths in triggers are case-sensitive. Make sure that
you use the same case as those of real folders when specifying the
paths in triggers.
Updates:
You don't need to change webhooks in github, what you need to do is that go to github Settings -> Webhooks, check whether there are "Recent Deliveries". If there are errors in recent deliveries, the cause of the question is indicated.
If Azure DevOps and GitHub are properly connected, GitHub will automatically generate Webhooks. As shown below:
The content of "Payload URL" is:
https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/public/hooks/externalEvents?publisherId=github&channelId={channelId}&api-version=6.1-preview
Please note that a GitHub repository can only connect to one Azure DevOps organization. If you have connected to more than one organizations, keep the only one you are using currently.
In DevOps click Pipelines on the left-hand side navigation
Select your pipeline.
Click Edit
Then in the new window pane (top left), you'll see a tab for triggers.
This is where you can configure the continuous integration settings to trigger builds on push / pull requests etc.
Here's an example
Continues integration is enabled for the development branch, thus any push to that branch will trigger a build.
I have four environments that I deploy to.
I also have four different code branches that we use to deploy code from.
We constantly switch the branches we use to deploy on these environments.
One time I want to build and deploy a daily branch on my test environment.
Later I want to build and deploy a enhancements branch on the same test environment.
Next I want to build and deploy the daily branch on my test2 environment.
I think you get the picture
We are currently using a manual process to pull from the branch we want deployed, then zip it up and push it to AWS code deploy.
Using Azure DevOps pipeline and release what is the easiest method to allow me to switch to use different branchs on different environments.
I currently have a successful setup in Azure DevOps that performs a gradle build, creates the artifact and then lets me push it over to AWS CodeDeploy on one of my environments. I just can't seem to figure out a way to eastily swtich the branch without creating tons of Azure pipelines and releases.
Thanks all!
Where you manually trigger a build pipeline by clicking Queue or Run Pipeline, A new windows shown as below will be prompted which allows you to switch the branches.
If you want to automatically deploy different branch to different environment. You can push the build artifacts over to AWS CodeDeploy in a release pipeline and set the branch filters. Please refer to below steps:
1, set branch filter in the build pipeline as shown in below screenshot which will build the selected branched. Check here for more information about triggers.
2, create a release pipline to push build artifacts over to AWS CodeDeploy.
And Set the Artifact filters which will only allow the artifacts built from the specified branch to be deployed to this tage.
You could use a queue time variable to specify the branch name you would like to use on your build pipeline. You would need to:
Edit your build pipeline and create the variable on the "variables" tab. Make sure to mark the "Settable at queue time" check
variable creation
Update the source of your build pipeline, to specify the new variable under the "Default branch" option. It would look something like this:
pipeline source
RUN your pipeline. Before finally clicking on RUN, you will be able to specify the desire branch:
set variable value
Hope this works
We are utilizing Azure Devops (TFS) build pipeline for managing a Git Repository/branches/stages (Dev/test/prod) and one thing that came up is the concept of "cherry-picking" commits. However, the user would have to supposedly look at the commit hash code and pass it in as argument to deploy that specific commit should a use case scenario arise like that.
The project manager has asked if we can make some sort of GUI pop-up at a certain step of the build pipeline that displays the list of these commit hashes and allows a user to check the boxes for the ones they'd want to cherry-pick and deploy.
How can that be done? we are considering utilizing Java with TFS/Azure Devops API's, but not sure if we can pop-up something like that on the Azure Devops page mid-pipeline deployment.
Build pipeline is not user interactive while running. So you can not pop up a gui on a build pipeline.
If you want to check the commits and pass the commits to build pipeline to build. You can first go to the Commits under Repos and check for the commits of a branch.
Then when you queue your build pipeline. You can click the dropdown menu for Branch/tag, select Commits, and then enter the commit id you get from above step. The build pipeline will then build the commit you entered.
I am new to working with Jenkins pipeline. I am able to use the GitHub Plugin in Jenkins and Webhooks from GitHub to successfully build a specific branch of a repository for a free style job. I can't find documentation that documents how to setup the "Source Code Management" so that only specific branches are build based on the github webhook.
For now I can chain the pipeline job to a free style job so that I can build only specific branches. I would rather have the pipeline job configured specifically for the branch we are trying to build.
Thanks in advance for your help!
SCM Configuration for the pipeline job.

In order to accomplish this within a Jenkins Pipeline job, you must mark the Pipeline Definition as "Pipeline script from SCM". This will instruct Jenkins to base the pipeline execution based on a Jenkinsfile within the repository. Here, you can also instruct Jenkins which branches to build.
From there, you simply need to make sure that your GitHub pushes are triggering builds within Jenkins correctly, and that's all there is to it!
The goal of the pipeline job was to build and deploy specific branch automatically. The approach was to create a pipeline job and define the branch in the SCM configuration and enable webhooks so that the branch would automatically build when a new commit is pushed. Unfortunately the webhook SCM build for pipeline is broken or is not supported for webhooks.
We have decided to change our approach and use the multibranch pipeline job. This by default build ALL branches that have a jenkinsFile. We are filtering in the job for the specific branches we want automatically build.
