While creating a pipeline for a project it depends on another project that's located in a different Azure DevOps collection and even though Azure Pipelines lets you download artifacts from the collection the project belongs to, I couldn't find the same solution for the projects outside of the current collection.
Azure structure:
- CollectionOne
- ProjectOne
- ProjectTwo
- CollectionTwo
- ProjectThree
- ProjectFour
The ProjectOne, depends on the dll files produced by the ProjectFour.
How can this be done?
edit 1:
This is my nuget pipeline item.
When ProjectOne is the main project and you want to use ProjectFour as something like a libary.
You could try to run pipelines for the ProjectFour updates then upload the files into the Azure Artifact
Then you could use the Artifacts in other collections by setting corresponding service connection.
Here take nuget package as the uploaded Artifact as an example:
You could use 'nuget' task in pipelines, choose to use feeds in my config.
You could need to use 'nuget' service connection to communicate with the feeds outside the collection
If you don't have one, you could click add new in the third screenshot to create one for using
Choose 'External Azure DevOps Server' here and fill the following blanks.
Then you are supposed to be able use the nuget files in the other collection's artifact.

I have two projects (Web & Web API) in dotnet core under one solution. I am able to deploy single though Azure devops and Azure web app. But i want to build both project in azure devops single pipeline and publish to single azure web app with different path mapping. i tried all the possible way to build and deploy both project under one pipeline to one azure web app. it's not working. need guidance.
Create multiple Projects in a single solution and save in a single repository.
Navigate to Pipelines, click New and then New build pipeline.
Click Use the classic editor.
By default, the first repository (Azure Repos Git) will be selected for you, just click Continue.
Select ASP.NET Core and then click Apply.
From here, we will make use of the Path Filters properties in the Triggers settings for the build.
With the proper path to the project in the Path filter only the proper Builds spin up, and any projects untouched do not trigger a build.
Each build has it's own release which then deploys the specified app to it's own destination.
Under Path filters, we need to specify the paths to look for file changes.
Check Enable continuous integration.
Under Branch Filters, click Add and add the master branch.
Under Path filters, we need to specify the paths to look for file changes, you want to include /SampleWebApp and /SampleWebApi.
Click Save & queue and then Save & queue.
Repeat for the SampleWebApi project.
Please refer Multiple Project Deployment with Azure DevOps and SO for more details.
I am using a custom agent pool in Azure DevOps. I have made a build and published the artifact but I want to update a file in artifact without creating a new build. how we can do that in Publish Artifacts task it showing that upload /home/ubuntu/myagent/_work/4/a to file container: #/9464/Artifact-Name.
I am logged in to agent pool server and checked all the directories but I couldn't find the file container location. Can any buddy help me to find the Artifact location in agent pool.
Thanks in advance.
Based on your drop location, you probably can't. The only way I imagine this would be possible is if you were publishing to a share location instead.
When you publish artifacts (that would be visible from the build summary), those are stored on the Azure DevOps database content tables and are immutable. As Jane Ma mentioned in a comment out about the local files:
The directory referenced by $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) is
cleaned up after each build. [...] you can't edit published artifacts.
You can get them in agent pool's local file, but all local operations
are not synced to the Azure DevOps. If you want to do follow-up work
on this artifact, you need to run a new build to update it.
I have a Azure data factory to deploy using azure devops. So I have created a build pipeline using the "Publish Build Artifacts" task and created the artifacts folder named "drop" which has the resources i want to deploy.
I need help with the release pipeline for the same. Which task should i use in my release pipeline to deploy this artifact folder "drop"?
I initially tried with ARM template deployment but it doesn't make use of the drop folder and deploys everything i.e, the entire data factory everytime. So i created a build folder wherein i have only limited things to deploy. But i am now stuck with the release pipeline task for the same.
Any help would be great. Thanks
You need to use version 2 of RG deployment:
And then you need to select, Create or Update Resource Group.
You need to provide path of ADF ARM templates in the template path text box.
Thanks,
Pratik
I have a build pipeline which I created and I have the artifacts in a drop folder.
Now I want to deploy these artifacts. The drop folder contains my data factory resources like pipelines, datasets.
I have 2 questions:
What task for the agent should I select in the release pipeline to deploy this folder?
How do I specify that in this environment it should go ? i.e. If I suppose have a QA environment, then how do I specify that thing?
I am actually confused over this selection of task for the agent.
What task for the agent should I select in the release pipeline to
deploy this folder?
It's based on where and how you want to deploy the artifacts.
If you just want to deploy them in a local machine where you can access, then you just need to add a Copy Files task to copy the artifacts to the target folder.
If you want to deploy to other remote sites or third party services, then you need to select other tasks based on your requirements, and some of them we need to create services connections to access them.
For example Deploy to Azure(e.g. Deploy a web app to Azure App Services)
How do I specify that in this environment it should go ? i.e. If I
suppose have a QA environment, then how do I specify that thing?
In release pipeline we can defined multiple environments/stages, in each environment we can add different tasks to do the actions based on our requirements. We need to add the artifacts sources to deploy them in the release pipeline. Please see Release pipelines for details. You can reference below links to do that:

I am trying to deploy my node application on azure. The deployment is successful but as I check the KUDU console the files haven't updated. All the files and folders are the same as previous.
I am using Azure VSTS for CI/CD, as I tried to use "copy files" task for coping the files and "publish artifacts" task for deploying but it doesn't work. The task output in the console shows that it has copied the files but the KUDU console shows no changes.
See the screenshots for more context -
Copy files plugin SS, Copy files description, Publish artifacts
Actual result: The files and folders are not updated on every deployment.
Expected result: The files and folders must update on every deployment.
Your Copy Files and Publish artifacts tasks are part of your Build pipeline. The Publish artifacts task makes items you choose available as a named artifact to a Release pipeline, while the copy files task is usually used to explicitly separate files from the working directory into a staging directory. Technically speaking, this task isn't necessary, as the Publish artifacts task will allow you to put a source folder that doesn't need to be under the $(build.artifactstagingdirectory), but it is helpful to keep clutter out of build artifacts.
While Most of the tasks that are usable in the Build pipeline are also available in the Release pipeline, it is not true for all. It's not clear from your question, but you should probably be using the Release pipeline to actually deliver your product.
Using jobs run on deployment groups (collections of machines that have been registered as agents), or Azure App Service tasks you can specify how to get your software where it needs to go.
