I have vs solution which contains multiple projects,
And im now configuring CI/CD pipeline for the solution in azure.
There is one project i dont want to be include in release.
Im trying to remove that project in restore and build tasks.
But still it included in restore and build.
if anyone has an idea about this ?
I've tested on my side using build task, the exclude pattern is working as expected, please check the following sample and compare with yours:

I am trying to see if there is a way that I can tell while files have changed during a build, we are wanting to run this pipeline a few times a day, and I only what the files that have changed in that build, I found this article, which is somewhat close but we do not have the file structure like they do so just plugging in a few variables will not work in this case How to get only changed files using Azure devops pipelines
the problem that I am running into is the artifcat from the build over-writes what is on our share during the publish process so I have no way to compare this folder with another.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks all!
I have an .Net Core application along with unit test cases. For that I have configured the Build pipeline in Azure DevOps. In that pipeline I have integrated SonarQube tasks (prepare analysis, run code analysis, and publish quality gate results).
I can see the report in SonarQube server after successful run. But in that report, I didn’t see the Code Coverage Results and Unit test results. Even though I used Cobertura for unit tests.
Your pipeline seems to contain the right steps, so there can be two issues:
1. Code coverage file is not generated (correctly)
The easiest way to validate if the code coverage file is generated correctly, is by publishing it as an artifact. Now check what format the output file is. If there is no output file, please check if you did include /p:CollectCoverage=true --logger trx to the test command. If you are running the build pipeline on Linux, you should also add /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover and install the coverlet.collector NuGet package in the .NET Test Project.
2. Code coverage file is not sent to Sonarqube
If you configured step 1 correctly, it is still possible that the generated files are not sent to Sonarqube. The best way to see what is going wrong, is by checking the build logs of the Run Code Analysis and Publish Quality Gate Results steps.
The most common issue, is that Sonarscanner is checking the wrong directory. In the prepare step, please specify where the files are located, like:
sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths=$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/**/coverage.opencover.xml
sonar.cs.vstest.reportsPaths=$(Agent.TempDirectory)/*.trx
Build pipeline generates code coverage files would it be coverlet or opencover, the problem is that Azure Devops pipeline creates the reports outside the working directory on the build agent, it uses the _temp folder inside _work whereas soanrquube searches inside the working directory. I am facing this issue with coverlet as well as Visual studio coverage tool. You can read the following 2 threads
https://github.com/coverlet-coverage/coverlet/issues/1399
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/11536.
I posted an issue on snoarqube community site but did not get any response so far. The solution I think is either make the test step in the build pipeline change the directory or configure somewher sonarqube to search the agent build directory _temp which is above the working directory
How to get the path to a script (not procedure) in Azure DevOps build?
I'm trying to get the path to either my solution or project file to use in Visual Studio database project PostDeployment.
Works locally
In the Script.PostDeployment.sql file in a Visual Studio Database project I have the following code
SELECT #solutionDir = REPLACE('$(SolutionPath)','MySoulution.sln','');
SET #File = #solutionDir + 'myScript.sql'
-- and here I can use the #File
When I do a local publish/or build I can use the variable/macro $(SolutionPath) where I get the full local path to the solution.
With that I can point to the script I need to access.
Fails in AzureDevops
But Azure DevOps build doesn´t have the $(SolutionPath) macro and I get the following error
SCRIPT.POSTDEPLOYMENT.SQL(17,32,17,32): Build error SQL72008: Variable SolutionPath is not defined.
So I need a way (in AzureDevops) in the build step to get the path to the scripts.
What I have tried
I have tried all kinds of macros that just don't seem to work.
I have tried to work with predefined variables
I tried to use SqlCommandVariableOverride but it seems to have gone missing from the database project some time ago.
Questions
How can I add $(SolutionPath) (or something else) to my build step so this works both locally and in Azure DevOps build?
Is there another way to get a solution or project url to the postdeployment SQLCMD file?
Is MSBuild Extension Pack something I should look at? I will if it is my only option.
p.s
I also created a ticket for this in Azure Pipelines Tasks since they don´t seem to be that active in answering and I can't wait.
e.s
I asked the same question at developercommunity.visualstudio.com. Lets hope somebody there will be able to answer the question. If so I will update this question with an answer.
So first double check that your build is publishing the artifacts. there should be a blue button in the top right corner of your build that says "artifacts". To have access to the artifact you need to do an archive task after you do the build and point it at
$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
Then I would recommend not using SQL to make direct references to the filesystem for the build server. If this is absolutely necessary then you should use environment variables.
I would recommend setting up a release pipeline for deployment of the SQL script. Release pipelines are really designed for deployment, whereas builds are for compilation.
To configure the release, point it to the artifact and then you can access that artifact by $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/*.zip then run whatever commands you want to do to process that.
I am trying an automated build process in Azure DevOps for Salesforce. whenever a change is pushed to the repository, my build is triggered and it is working fine and pushing the changes to the related sandbox. Here is the proof for the same
Success Build Process.
The configuration of the build is Build configuration.
The build is working fine as expected. I now want to create a release which will push this change to a different environment, and I don't want this to be automated, hence the option of creating the release. The build path to the ant file in my release is exactly as it should be but I am getting this error. Release Error.
The release configuration is Release configuration
My Repository folder structure is: Folder structure. and my build.xml is within the deploy folder.
I don't know what I am doing wrong but the release is always failing and giving me the error which says:
Error: Not found antBuildFile: D:\a\r1\a\deploy\build.xml
Not found antBuildFile: D:\a\r1\a\deploy\build.xml
Based on the first image (Success Build Process), seems that you already have deployed your changes on that sandbox. Working with metadata deployment in Salesforce is different from java and .net, keep in mind that you already have the "executables", all those XML are already the code that you will change on the environment.
The second point is that on release you are in another agent, Buil and Release pipelines runs have their own lifecycle, so the code existing at the Build pipeline is not available until you send it on "drop" artifact, see Publish Build Artifacts task documentation. So that use copy task to put build.xml on publish folder, then you'll be able to use it on Release pipeline.
When you are executing ant go the /deploy folder and execute your command or check for your ant version using ant -version command.
I am using VSTS for my OPA5 Tests, so all works for one project. For this I created a Build for these Projects i wanted to test.
But if I want to test all projects, do I need to create a build for all Project or is there a solution to build all projects with one build definition?
The build should do always the same things, saved in a YAML File.
I have seen thats is possible to do builds with difficult branches but not with difficult repositories.
So has anyone a solution for this or is it impossible at the moment?
Yes, it's possible.
You just need to clone another git repositories at the beginning of the build.
So you can add a PowerShell task as the first task and execute git clone command.
And If you are using YAML file, just add the script to execute the PowerShell task.
Besides, you can also refer the post VSTS build from multiple repositories.
