'az automation runbook start' command doesn't wait for compellation - azure

I'm trying to create an Azure DevOps pipeline to run a few Runbooks by a specific order.
My pipeline currently looks like the following:
trigger: none
pool: <mypool>
jobs:
- job: AzureCLI
steps:
- task: AzureCLI#2
inputs:
azureSubscription: '<mysubscription'
scriptType: 'bash'
scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
inlineScript: |
az config set extension.use_dynamic_install=yes_without_prompt
az automation runbook start --automation-account-name "myaccount" --resource-group "myrg" --name "runbook-1"
az automation runbook start --automation-account-name "myaccount" --resource-group "myrg" --name "runbook-2"
Thing is, when I run it like that what it does is triggering both runbooks in parallel. It triggers runbook-1 and then triggers runbook-2 without waiting for runbook-1 to finish.
In the Az CLI Docs there is no parameter like --wait-for-compellation or something like that.
There is a different command: 'az automation runbook wait' which I thought might wait after triggering the runbook with 'az automation runbook start' but it doesn't, it just exits immediately.
Anyone knows a different way to make the command hang until compellation?

How to suppress warning "ZipDeploy Validation WARNING: It is recommended to set app setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1"

In my Azure DevOps pipeline, I'm deploying a logic app on Azure but I get this warning:
##[warning]"ZipDeploy Validation WARNING: It is recommended to set app setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1 unless you are targeting one of the following scenarios:
1. Using portal editing.
2. Running post deployment scripts.
3. Need write permission in wwwroot.
4. Using custom handler with special requirements.
NOTE: If you decide to update app setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1, you will have to re-deploy your code."
Is it possible to suppress this warning?
Make sure to add the application settings to allow zip deploy like below:-
- task: AzureCLI#2
inputs:
# TODO: Fill in with the name of your Azure service connection
azureSubscription: ''
scriptType: 'bash'
scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
inlineScript: |
az functionapp config appsettings set --name $(LAname) --resource-group $(resourceGroupName) --settings "BLOB_CONNECTION_RUNTIMEURL=$(blobendpointurl)"
az functionapp config appsettings set --name $(LAname) --resource-group $(resourceGroupName) --settings "WORKFLOWS_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME=$(resourceGroupName)"
az functionapp config appsettings set --name $(LAname) --resource-group $(resourceGroupName) --settings WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1
addSpnToEnvironment: true
useGlobalConfig: true
Powershell task with app service plan
- task: AzurePowerShell#5
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'MyAzureSubscription'
ScriptType: 'InlineScript'
Inline: |
Set-AzWebApp -Name MyWebApp -ResourceGroupName MyResourceGroup -AppSettings #{'WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE'='1'}
azurePowerShellVersion: 'LatestVersion'
Make sure you change the deployment-method in your YAML pipeline to deploymentMethod: ‘runFromPackage’ instead of ‘zipDeploy’ like below:-
To :-
And then run your pipeline to allow zip deployment of Azure Logic app.

az tag update ERROR: (MissingSubscription) The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider

I am trying to set a tag named "GitBranch" on an Azure Resource Group:
When I call the command in PowerShell window -
az tag update --resource-id "/subscriptions/79ca5b...7f/resourceGroups/ccg-afarber2" --subscription "79ca5b...7f" --operation merge --tags GitBranch=Test
then it works:
But when I try the same command in Git Bash window, then it fails.
I have also tried calling the following commands before and also tried both double and single quotes
az login
az account set --subscription "79ca5b....7f"
but the error is still the same:
ERROR: (MissingSubscription) The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider.
And the reason why I am trying to get the command working in bash is because I get the same error for my Azure pipeline task:
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: 'Set Resource Group tag'
inputs:
azureSubscription: '${{ parameters.ArmConnection }}'
scriptType: 'bash'
scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
inlineScript: |
az tag update \
--resource-id '/subscriptions/${{ parameters.SubscriptionId }}/resourceGroups/${{ parameters.ResourceGroupName }}' \
--subscription '${{ parameters.SubscriptionId }}' \
--operation Merge --tags \
GitBranch=$(git branch --show-current)
What is happening here please?
On my PC I have azure-cli 2.28.0 installed.
I have found a solution myself!
In a AzureCLI pipeline task, when you run an az cli command, which has parameters starting with a slash, then the MinGW bash will auto-append the current path.
To prevent this, you can prepend the following variable to the az command:
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 az ....
A double slash works too:

How to pass the output from kubectl task to next task in Azure Devops

I am using AKS.I am trying to fetch the IP of the service post my deployment through devops so that I can pass on the IP to the API Management for further configuration. right now my task looks like this
- task: Kubernetes#1
inputs:
connectionType: 'Kubernetes Service Connection'
kubernetesServiceEndpoint: 'string-Conn'
namespace: '<appservices>'
command: 'get'
arguments: 'get services --namespace appservices authsvc --output jsonpath=''{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'''
secretType: 'dockerRegistry'
containerRegistryType: 'Azure Container Registry'
name: 'GetSvc'
when I run the command locally I am getting the IP of the loadbalancer. but how can I pass the output from this task to the next task? previously, when I use azure cli scripts, I can pass the vso set variable as part of the script itself like the one below but not sure how will I add the output of this task to a variable.
inlineScript: |
$something = (az storage container generate-sas --account-name <container> --name armtemplate --permissions r --expiry $(date -u -d "30 minutes" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%MZ))
Write-Host($something) Write-Output("##vso[task.setvariable variable=SasToken;]$something")
I have followed the approach suggested by Amit Baranes since I am not clear on the script execution assignment without variable name. I have used the Azure cli task and ran it. It was successful
- task: AzureCLI#2
inputs:
azureSubscription: '<Service-Conn>'
scriptType: 'pscore'
scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
inlineScript: |
az aks get-credentials -n $(clusterName) -g $(clusterRG)
$externalIp = (kubectl get -n $(ns) services $(svc) --output jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}' )
Write-Host($externalIp) Write-Output("##vso[task.setvariable variable=AKSURL;]$externalIp")
We could use the logging command ##vso[task.setvariable variable=SasToken;]$something" to set variables in scripts.
But according to your description, we recommend that you use the output variable to pass the variable IP. For example, assume we have a task called MyTask, which sets an output variable called MyVar. We could use outputs in the same job.
steps:
- task: MyTask#1 # this step generates the output variable
name: ProduceVar # because we're going to depend on it, we need to name the step
- script: echo $(ProduceVar.MyVar) # this step uses the output variable

How to securely login in Az CLI from a DevOps Pipeline

I want to execute AZ cli commands from my Azure DevOps Pipeline. In my YAML file I have this:
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
variables:
buildConfiguration: 'Release'
steps:
- task: UsePythonVersion#0
inputs:
versionSpec: '3.x'
architecture: 'x64'
# Updating pip to latest
- script: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
displayName: 'Upgrade pip'
# Updating to latest Azure CLI version.
- script: pip install --pre azure-cli --extra-index-url https://azurecliprod.blob.core.windows.net/edge
displayName: 'upgrade azure cli'
- script: az --version
displayName: 'Show Azure CLI version'
- script: az extension add -n azure-devops
displayName: 'Install Azure DevOps Extension'
- script: echo ${AZURE_DEVOPS_CLI_PAT} | az devops login
env:
AZURE_DEVOPS_CLI_PAT: $(System.AccessToken)
displayName: 'Login Azure DevOps Extension'
- script: az aks show --name census-k8s --resource-group Census
displayName: 'Show AKS'
The echo ${AZURE_DEVOPS_CLI_PAT} | az devops login step is completed (with success apparently) with a warning message
Failed to store PAT using keyring; falling back to file storage.
You can clear the stored credential by running az devops logout.
Refer https://aka.ms/azure-devops-cli-auth to know more on sign in with PAT.
The az aks show step fails:
Please run 'az login' to setup account.
I am a little bit lost. The az devops login command should enable me to use the az cli, right? If not, Am I supposed to use az login instead of az devops login? And if I am supposed to use az login, how can I pass my credentials in a secure way?
No, you don't need az devops login. What you need is Azure CLI Task:
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: Azure CLI
inputs:
azureSubscription: <Name of the Azure Resource Manager service connection>
scriptType: ps
scriptLocation: inlineScript
inlineScript: |
az --version
az account show
but then you don't have to do any login. Please call there your az aks show --name census-k8s --resource-group Census
Just to Add to Krzysztof's answer (and jeromerg question in the comment): in Azure CLI step you can also use other tools then az, which require being logged in with AzureCLI:
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: Publish Function
inputs:
azureSubscription: <Name of the Azure Resource Manager service connection>
scriptType: ps
scriptLocation: inlineScript
inlineScript: |
func azure publish <function-name>
If your scriptLocation is a scriptPath use the following example
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: 'update function appsettings'
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'MY-AzureSubscriptionName'
scriptType: ps
scriptLocation: 'scriptPath'
scriptPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Scripts/updateSettings.ps1'
arguments:
-ResourceGroupName 'MY-ResourceGroupName' `
-FunctionAppName 'MY-FunctionAppName'
updateSettings.ps1
param (
[string]$ResourceGroupName,
[string]$FunctionAppName)
)
.
. script body here
.
To use Azure CLI from a script (powershell or batch) you must assign $(System.AccessToken) to an environment variable named AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT.
- pwsh: |
az pipelines build list
displayName: 'Show build list'
env:
AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT: $(System.AccessToken)

how can I get the vnet id into a variable using Azure CLI

I want to get the vnet id of an azure vnet into a variable using azure cli.
i then want to use this variable in the azure devops pipeline and populate a variable there?
How can i do this?
You can use the Azure CLI task making use of the az network vnet commands, e.g.
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: Azure CLI
inputs:
azureSubscription: <Name of the Azure Resource Manager service connection>
scriptType: ps
scriptLocation: inlineScript
inlineScript: |
az network vnet show -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVNet
In the same task's inline script you're free to use any powershell, so could also set variables in that script for use in subsequent steps. Hope this helps!
