I have four folders in my Azure DevOps repo. I'm looking if I commit any change in folder A only that folder should trigger.
Is there any way to achieve this with single build definition.
You can add a path filter in your trigger. For example:
trigger:
branches:
include:
- main
paths:
include:
- A/*
This pipeline will be triggered only if you commit changes in folder A. Here is the document about Path filters in CI trigger and you can find more detailed information there.

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've a single repository having visual studio solution(.sln), where I've more than one project(.csproj) in same solution(i.e. WebAPI project, WebApp project etc.)...
Now, I've created separate pipeline(s) for individual project, which trigger whenever any commit comes to my XYZ branch...(ex. through PR code merge from feature to XYZ branch)
Now, the issue is...
Whenever any commit come to any project in that repository all pipeline start building there respective projects... Here I just want to build a specific project pipeline for which the commit file(s) comes into...
You can specify file paths to include or exclude.
# specific path build
trigger:
branches:
include:
- master
- releases/*
paths:
include:
- docs
exclude:
- docs/README.md
When you specify paths, you must explicitly specify branches to trigger on. You can't trigger a pipeline with only a path filter; you must also have a branch filter, and the changed files that match the path filter must be from a branch that matches the branch filter.

I have a single project but with two "master" branches.
master
virt/master
Each of them would have their own azure-pipeline.yml specific for their branch.
The first pipeline in master has the trigger set up as
trigger:
batch: true
branches:
include:
- refs/heads/master
The second one is in the virt/master branch.
trigger:
batch: true
branches:
include:
- refs/heads/virt/master
Here's the repository that I am experimenting on https://dev.azure.com/trajano/experiments/_git/multi-branch
master build https://dev.azure.com/trajano/experiments/_build?definitionId=11
virt/master build https://dev.azure.com/trajano/experiments/_build?definitionId=12
The problem I am having is when I push a change to the virt/master branch both pipelines get executed
Am I missing something in my configuration? Or is this a bug on Azure Devops?
I also tried to exclude but to no avail.
trigger:
batch: true
branches:
include:
- refs/heads/master
exclude:
- refs/heads/virt/master
If you want to have separate pipelines please create separate file definition for them. I think that your configuration is fine and the issue is that you share the same file as definition.
When I moved to separate file it works as expected:
To create different pipelines for different branches. You need to rename the azure-pipelines.yml file in virt/master branch or create a new yml file with the some contents and with a different name. And create pipeline multi-branch(virt) from this new yml file.
If both pipelines are created from the yaml file with the same name azure-pipeline.yml. And the azure-pipeline.yml file exists in both of the branches. Then they are identical pipelines(even though the azure-pipeline.yml file contents might be different).
You can see from above screen. Pipeline multi-branch and multi-branch(virt) were building the same virt/master branch(using the tasks in the azure-pipeline.yml of virt/master). If you push to master branch. You will see both pipelines will be triggered to build master branch(using the tasks in the azure-pipeline.yml of master). Pipeline multi-branch and multi-branch(virt) are one pipeline

I have a Pipeline on Azure DevOps that runs automatically - the trigger is a push to the master branch of my GitHub repo.
This pipeline will build a Docker image and push it to container registry, restart the app, etc. to update the app with the latest changes.
However, there are some certain files I want this Pipeline to ignore (for example, README.md). Is there any way that I can achieve this?
You can a path filter for your pipeline trigger.
If you are using yaml pipeline. You can set the path filter as below:
trigger:
batch: true
branches:
include:
- master
paths:
exclude:
- README.md
If you are using classic UI pipeline. You can go to the Triggers tab and set the path filter
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.
