New to Automation- I have created a automation cypress project in my local. I pushed the project to Azure dev ops and created a pipeline for that. The test cases are running successfully. My question is Dev team wants to trigger those test cases before deploying the build. How to achieve that? Anybody can help, thanks a lot!!

You can make use of Stages to trigger your Cypress tests in the Dev stage first and then start the next deployment in your Build stage manually. You can start the deployment in any stage or across stages manually one after another or automatically in one run.
I created one sample cypress task in my Azure Pipelines like below:-
Now, I ran the pipeline in a Dev stage first like below and then at Build, You can trigger these pipelines together automatically or one by one manually, Dev team can run this pipeline before triggering it in the Build stage:-
Save this release pipeline and Trigger the required build stage manually with the below option:-
Here, you can select both your Dev and Build stage to trigger manually by yourself. With the above option Dev will run automatically and Build should be run manually like below:-
After the Dev stage is triggered the Build stage can be triggered manually like below:-

I am running a multi stage pipeline and need to run a production build pipeline after the success of pre production release pipeline so is there any way around to check the status of the release pipeline using RestAPI in azure Devops and get this response in build pipeline.
To trigger the production stage of build pipeline based on the results of the pre production release pipeline
I think you don't need to use REST API for this, you can use the result of your pipeline as a trigger for your second pipeline:
Configure pipeline resource triggers
Can we create release pipeline in azure devops using yaml?
(I know we can add stages in pipelines ,but i want to know if we can create pipeline in pipelines -> release by yaml not classic pipeline.)
you can build and release in the same pipeline, we have a multi stage pipeline, the first stage builds the subsequent stages deploy to the different environments and run automated test
Alternatively you can separate it in to different yaml pipelines
I am working with 3 pipes based off 3 different repos within Azure DevOps. All 3 pipes deploy to the same cloud VM and all 3 have a set of E2E automated tests which are run after the deployment stage. I am currently having issues where 1 pull request is completed kicking off a deployment, then while the E2E tests are running a different pipe is kicked off, this causes services to stop on the VM during deployment making the E2E tests fail unusually.
Can I setup my pipe to only start a deployment + test if no other builds are already running against the target VM?
Cheers
If these stages in release pipeline are set to run one after another, there will be no issues.
However, new push will trigger a new release and break the ongoing deployment, we suggest that you review this doc: Release gates and approvals overview, so you can try to set up release deployment control using gates or define approvals and checks.
Using multi project pipelines I want to run a specific job. Under deploy I have CI - PVT - Staging - Prod
I wish to deploy from a separate project simply Deploy Staging none of the other deploy stages.
I do have a paid for Gitlab so triggering etc. is enabled.
Is this possible please?
I can't run a plan test with automation tests associated, because the release pipeline dropdown doesn't show the available releases pipelines.
I have a test associated with my automation test.
When I tried to run the plan test
Then I tried to set up my release pipeline
The dropdown doesn't show my current available release pipelines
Thanks #Matt I had to add the artifact (from the Build pipeline) to my Release Pipeline
