Azure DevOps Multi Repo email Notification missing the commits from second repo - email

We created the Azure DevOps build pipeline with multi repo config as mentioned below and this works fine.
resources:
repositories:
- repository: project-source # The name used to reference this repository in the checkout step
type: github
endpoint: MyGitHubServiceConnection
name: MyGitHubOrgOrUser/MyGitHubRepo
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
stages:
jobs
- job: CodeBuild
displayName: Code Build
steps:
- checkout: self
- checkout: project-source
We also have DevOps Notification configured on the build status, The Commits section of notification mail shows changes from IAC repo(self) but not the source code repo(project-source).
Are we missing any configuration?
Any help on this is appreciated.

I can reproduce your problem on my side. The commit information from github is not displayed in the notification email. I think this could be a bug, you can report this problem on our Develop Community site. After confirmation by our engineers, they will report this issue to the product team. The product team would provide the updates if they view it.

How can I trigger a pipeline of RepoA when something is pushed inside another repository RepoB within Azure DevOps?

I tried to figure this out, but came to no results. Does anyone know how to trigger a pipeline of a .NET project let's say RepoA when something is pushed inside another Repo called RepoB? I want to apply this feature to the pipeline of RepoA, because RepoB does not have a pipeline and I do not want a pipeline for RepoB.
How can I trigger a pipeline of RepoA when something is pushed inside another repository RepoB within Azure DevOps?
In Azure DevOps Pipeline, you can add the Repo B as Repo Resources in the pipeline of Repo A and set the trigger.
resources:
repositories:
- repository: RepoB
type: git
name: MyProject/RepoB
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- checkout: RepoB
- checkout: self
For more detailed info, you can refer to this doc: Define a repositories resource

Triggering an Azure pipeline from a repository in a different organization

I'm trying to set up a pipeline that will trigger, when a commit is made in a repository that exists in a different organization.
In my own org, I've created a git repo with a yaml pipeline file in the main branch.
With the below setup, I can checkout the code from the other organization if I run the pipeline manually. But it is not triggered when a commit is pushed to that repository.
Looking at the documentation, this should be possible?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/multi-repo-checkout?view=azure-devops#triggers
resources:
repositories:
- repository: OtherOrgRepo # In a different organization
endpoint: OtherOrgConnection
type: git
name: proj/reponame
ref: develop
trigger:
- develop
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- checkout: OtherOrgRepo
The token used for the service connection has full access.
Is this not supported, or am I missing a step?
I guess I just need to read the big blue box:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/multi-repo-checkout?view=azure-devops#triggers
Repository resource triggers only work for Azure Repos Git repositories in the same organization at present. They do not work for GitHub or Bitbucket repository resources.
I did however manage to trigger a classic pipeline by using a generic Git service connection, which will poll for changes at an interval.

PR trigger not working with Azure DevOps and GitHub

I have my repos hosted on GitHub and running the pipeline on Azure DevOps, it is an iOS pipeline and I am not getting any error but while I try to raise a PR GitHub always gives a warning that I have conflicts and I have to make changes in the main branch as well, which I don't want to do since it might break the workflow is there any work-around for raising the pr without getting the conflict warning?
This is my YAML file:
pool:
vmImage: macOS-latest
trigger:
batch: true
branches:
include:
- develop
- epic/*
# trigger on PR builds targeting any branches
pr:
autoCancel: true
branches:
include: ['*']
# Adding parameters to Run UI
parameters:
- name: FIID
displayName: FIID
type: string
default: 00516
values:
- 00516
- 00031
This is the kind of conflict I am getting, I don't know what I might be doing wrong but I don't want to make changes in the develop branch everytime I have to raise a PR for xcodepipeline
If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated, thanks.
Merge develop into your feature branch, fix the conflicts, push the changes. The PR should work like a charm after that.

How to create a CI Trigger on a different Azure Repo than where the YAML pipeline resides?

I want my YAML in one repo RepoA and my code to build in RepoB. How do I configure the YAML to have a CI Trigger on the code RepoB only?
Note: these repos are in the same Azure DevOps project.
The YAML is in the default branch (master) of RepoA. I've seen that people have had issues with CI triggers if the pipeline is not in the default branch.
Here is the azure-pipeline.yml contents:
trigger: none
resources:
repositories:
- repository: RepoB
type: git
name: RepoB
ref: master
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
steps:
- checkout: RepoB
I also tried removing the line
trigger: none
to see if that would work. The build will then start as soon as I save the yaml, as I would expect, but not when I make a change to RepoB master.
Then I tried the following and many more guesses, but nothing ever enabled a CI Trigger on RepoB. That is, the pipeline never ran when I would make commits to the master branch in RepoB.
resources:
repositories:
- repository: RepoB
type: git
name: RepoB
ref: master
trigger:
branches:
include:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
steps:
- checkout: RepoB
Here is what I see when I look at the pipelines triggers in the Azure Pipelines UI. Should I see a trigger for RepoB?
Update 1:
Although these were not my original settings, I have updated the settings to be as open as possible (no limits). I then tried the following:
I committed a file to the branch in RepoB. No CI trigger occurred.
Deleted the pipeline, and recreated. I committed a file to the branch in RepoB. CI Trigger finally occurred!
I believe this is a bug because none of these settings should limit this scenario for the following reasons:
Both of the repos are in the same Project.
RepoB is explicitly referenced in the pipeline.
Also, you shouldn't have to delete and recreate a pipeline in order for a setting to take effect.
UPDATE 2:
I narrowed it down to this Organization or Project level setting: Limit job authorization scope to referenced Azure DevOps repositories
The documentation of this setting does not mention CI Triggers at all, but I do not think that it should affect this scenario regardless, because the repo is referenced explicitly.
Doc References:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/azure-repos-git?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#limit-job-authorization-scope-to-referenced-azure-devops-repositories
I believe this is a bug and I have reported it here:
https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/yaml-pipeline-ci-trigger-for-repository-resource-i/1314241
Azure DevOps enables some limitation to access to resources by default. Please check if this project enables below options in Project Settings page.
Testing in my side that if these options are enabled, this issue can be reproduced. Thus please disable them, and create a new yaml pipeline. The new yaml pipeline should work as expected.
See: Access repositories, artifacts, and other resources for details.
I used your yaml and all works (the only difference is that I have main not master branch)
trigger: none
resources:
repositories:
- repository: RepoB
type: git
name: azure-functions
ref: main
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
steps:
- checkout: RepoB
On this screen you have a trigger which fires for a change done on RepoB

Azure Devops CI pipeline trigger for multi projects

I have a following structure:
Test-A and Test-B projects created on Azure Devops. Test-A project's CI build pipeline will produce an artifact.
Test-B's pipeline uses the artifact produced by Test-A's CI pipeline in its build. I am able to download the build artifact of Test-A project and use it.
The problem I am facing here is I am unable to do a CI automatic trigger with project Test-A dependency in project Test-B i.e when ever I make changes and push the changes on to Test-A github repo or whenever I do a new build on Test-A I want the build for Test-B to start automatically.
I have read the documentation on Azure devops but they are not working.
Link for pipeline trigger
Link for pipeline multi-trigger
Below is my .yml file.
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: JustAName
project: Test-A
source: Test-A_CI
branch: master
trigger:
branches:
include:
- master
repositories:
- repository: justAnotherName
type: github
name: myGitRepo
endpoint: myGitServiceConnection
trigger:
branches:
include:
- master
steps:
- task: DownloadPipelineArtifact#2
inputs:
buildType: 'specific'
project: 'hashValue or Test-A'
definition: '1'
specificBuildWithTriggering: true
buildVersionToDownload: 'latest'
targetPath: '$(Agent.BuildDirectory)'
I am not sure where I am doing wrong or if it is a permission issue. I checked the logs to find any reference with the resources part in the yml but I had no luck.
Can someone suggest what is the best way to check what is the problem and resolve the issue.
Build completion option is disable in classic editor
The build completion option in the pipeline classic editor is limited to the pipelines within the same project. So it won't work for your scenario(the triggering pipeline and triggered pipeline reside in different project) even if it is enabled.
For issue build completion option is disabled. You can report this issue here. Click report a problem and select Azure Devops.
Resources pipeline trigger doesnot work properly sometimes. This similar issue has submitted to Microsoft by some other users. You can follow and vote on these cases or create a new one. Build Completion Triggers not working, Pipeline trigger not working as expressed in documentation
You can follow the workaround which using task TriggerPipeline given by #Hugh. You can also add a powershell task to call the rest api to queue another build pipeline. You can check this thread for example scripts
For your issue , there is a custom task in the Azure DevOps marketplace: Trigger Azure DevOps pipeline.
With this task you can trigger a build or release pipeline from another pipeline within the same project or organization but also in another project or organization.
To get started a PAT is needed with the appropriate rights to execute pipelines. Give the PAT the following rights depending on your scenario:
Triggering a Build: Build – Read & execute
When you have installed the extension, you can add this task into yaml. In the task setting ,you need to connect to a Azure DevOps Service connection. For detailed configuration, please refer to this.
steps:
- task: TriggerPipeline#1
inputs:
serviceConnection: 'triggerpipeline'
project: 'Test-B'
Pipeline: 'Build'
buildDefinition: 'xxx'
Branch: 'master'
