I'm trying to develop a pipeline from feature-branch.
sample-code:
trigger:
branches:
include:
- deploy-pipeline/sql/test/*
exclude:
- deploy-pipeline/pipeline/*
- deploy-pipeline/sql/sample_scripts/*
Here deploy-pipeline is the name of the feature branch. I have azure-pipeline.yml file in the feature branch. I want to deploy only sql scripts inside deploy-pipeline/sql/test/ so i have included it in the include flag, whenever there's any change in sql/test folder the pipeline should trigger automatically and deploy sql scripts to my test environment. Once I tested this functionality working as expected then I can push this pipeline structure to master to deploy sql scripts only in specific folder.
I tested pushing changes to the sql/test folder, sample sql scripts. But the pipeline isn't triggering automatically. Not sure where I'm missing it. Please help me.
In trigger branches, what you need to write is the name of your branch. If your branch name is deploy-pipeline/sql/test, you don't need to write /* behind it to indicate every files in the branch.
In the other words, you just need to write the branch name in trigger, then every thing in the branch can trigger the pipeline.
So the script should be like this:
trigger:
branches:
include:
- deploy-pipeline/sql/test
exclude:
- deploy-pipeline/pipeline
- deploy-pipeline/sql/sample_scripts
I guess you might be confusing path triggers with branch triggers. Only branch names can be written in the branch trigger and only path can be written in the path trigger.

I have a Azure Devops build pipeline that has multiple branch triggers. I am using a wildcard to capture changes to branches under refresh/4.*. An example of a branch that I am targeting in this case would be refresh/4.13.0-refresh. But, the wildcard trigger is not firing when I push new refresh branches.
Here is the trigger definition yml
trigger:
branches:
include:
- dev
- refs/tags/4.*
- release/4.x
- nightly-build
- refresh/4.*
I was expecting this definition to trigger the build action when a new branch such as refresh/4.9.1-refresh is pushed to the remote repo. All of the other branch triggers here are succeeding. My hunch is that - could be treated as a delimiter. But, I tried updating the trigger to refresh/4.*-refresh with no success.
The definition seems correct but is the - refresh/4.* line also present in the yml from your refresh/4.13.0-refresh branch? If it's a new change to the yml that is only in the main branch for example, then it wouldn't trigger yet.
I've got a problem where I cannot get my pipeline to run when I want it to.
Background
I have a repo in GitHub, and I'm running my pipelines in ADO.
I have two branch - main branch, feature branch.
I want a pull request to trigger a pipeline called "pull-request" when I make a pull request in github.com. I want the pipeline to exclude any changes that happen to a file called azure-pipeline-pull-request.yml (which is the pipeline file).
I don't want it to run any other time.
I have tried many different combos in the yml file, but I cannot get the pipeline to run when a PR happens.
This is the code at the top of the YAML file.
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
paths:
exclude:
- azure-pipelines-pull-request.yml
pr:
branches:
include:
- main
paths:
exclude:
- azure-pipelines-pull-request.yml
I've tried it without the trigger section. I could do with some help in explaining what is happening.
I tried your code and successfully triggered the pipeline to run. So some other reasons caused the pipeline not running automatically instead of your script.
There are several possible reasons for the issue. Click I just created a new YAML pipeline with CI/PR triggers, but the pipeline is not being triggered. for detailed information and steps. Here is a brief overview of the content of the document:
Go to "Triggers" in UI. Turn off the "Override the YAML trigger from here" setting.
Check whether your Github repository is connected to multiple Azure DevOps organizations. If so, remove the service connection and re-establish it.
Check whether there is a failure in Webhooks in Github.
Make sure that the YAML file in the correct branch has the necessary CI or PR configuration.
Did you use templates for your YAML file? If so, make sure that your triggers are defined in the main YAML file.
I'm working for the first time with Azure Devops Pipelines. I'm using a .yml file. But I can't figure out why the pipeline won't run when I checkout and push a branch from develop to "releases/*. It just won't trigger even when there are changes in src/ which are inside my new releases/newbranch
But when I merge my change from "customers/feature-branch" with customers/moa-prototype-client1/release the pipeline will run.
My trigger is:
trigger:
branches:
include:
- customers/moa-prototype-client1/release
- releases/*
paths:
include:
- src/*
- src/customers/moa-prototype-client1/*
exclude:
- '*.yml'
- src/customers/*
What can cause this?
So in short: It will trigger when I merge from Customers/Customername/Develop to Customers/Customername/Release. But won't when I merge from Develop to Releases/*
Our repo:Gitflow
From your description, it seems that this issue exists in the Release/* branch. And the customers branch could work as expected.
During my testing, I encounter a similar situation. If the Release/* branch doesn't contain the Yaml file with triggers, the changes in the release branches will not trigger the build.
For example:
Doesn't work
To solve this issue, you could copy the same yaml file from other branches to all release branches.
Then the changes in the Release branches could trigger the build successfully.
On the other hand, as Kontekst said, the Path filters are case-sensitive. You could check them at the same time.
Hope this helps
Solution: After checking the links and possible solution some users suggested, I got it to work. But I was not totaly happy whit this fix, because I wanted to run my pipeline though my .yml file and not override my triggers though the pipeline settings.
When I looked at my .yml again and noticed a space behind releases/*, I removed this space and committed this to my repo and all was working as it should!
CI doesn't trigger when I change anything in my feature/* branch. I configured a YAML on Azure pipeline -
trigger:
branches:
include:
- feature/*
I also tried the other style of configuration - again unsuccessful
trigger:
- feature/*
Also tried with the complete feature name like feature/my-feature
However when I override the YAML trigger and use branch filters to point to the specific feature branch the CI works when I make changes in the branch.
I followed this official documentation
Azure Pipelines - CI Trigger on feature branch doest work with YAML
You should set the yaml file in one of branch under the feature folder.
Since you set the trigger with feature/*, but there is no branch named feature, we could not set the the yaml file in feature brance of the repo. So, we need to set the the yaml file in one of branch under the feature folder, like: feature/Test.
In this case, when I change anything in my feature/* branch, like feature/Test2, it will trigger this pipeline.
Hope this helps.
the one reason this could happen - the yaml file is not present in the feature branch. the decision to trigger the build or not comes when a commit is pushed to a branch, based on the content of the yaml file in the branch. if the file is not there, obviosuly nothing will be built.
I have my git repository hosted on Azure DevOps. I created a new yaml based build pipeline in the master branch and have set the trigger section to two existing branches. Other branches don't have a azure-pipeline.yml file nor any kind of branch policies are set for this DevOps project.
trigger:
batch: 'true'
branches:
include:
- master
- develop
The trigger gets invoked for every change in the master branch as expected. But is ignoring any pushes to the develop branch.
If I configure a build pipeline with the visual editor and define the exact two branches there, for every push a build will be triggered.
Any idea how Azure Pipeline respects the build definition also for other branches without copy and pasting the whole definition for every possible branch?
Build trigger is not invoked on push for Azure Git repositories
I have created a sample with the syntax:
trigger:
batch: 'true'
branches:
include:
- master
- Dev
And it works fine on my side. Then I check the new project you provided, but I found that the .yml file is incomplete and does not contain a trigger: node.
So, to resolve this issue, we need to double check the .yml file you modified in under the master branch, and you build .yml file is you modified.
Besides, when we edit the build pipeline, there is a extended button, we could select the option Triggers to set the build trigger with visual editor:
If above not help you, you can try to create a new build pipeline, set the trigger only with Develop branch, check if it works fine, then return to the previous with master
and develop branch.
If all of the above methods are not worked, you may need share a detailed sample and some steps, the reason for this problem may be hidden in the corner we ignore.
Hope this helps.
