created ie fully automate the lot?
Yes, you can.
For the simplest situation, for example, this is the deployment pipeline on my side:
trigger:
- none
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
parameters:
- name: functionname
default: bowman0822
steps:
- task: DownloadBuildArtifacts#1
inputs:
buildType: 'specific'
project: 'xxx'
pipeline: 'xxx'
buildVersionToDownload: 'latest'
downloadType: 'single'
downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
- script: |
dir
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
- task: AzureFunctionApp#1
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'testbowman_in_AAD'
appType: 'functionAppLinux'
appName: '${{parameters.functionname}}'
package: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/azurefunction'
runtimeStack: 'PYTHON|3.9'
#key step see the below.
- task: PythonScript#0
inputs:
scriptSource: 'inline'
script: |
import requests
import json
org_name = "<The Organization Name>"
project_name = "<The Product Name>"
pipeline_name = "${{parameters.functionname}}"
pat = "<Your Personal Access Token>"
url = "https://dev.azure.com/"+org_name+"/"+project_name+"/_apis/build/definitions?api-version=5.0"
payload = json.dumps({
"name": ""+pipeline_name+"",
"Repository": {
"name": "functiontest",
"type": "TfsGit"
},
"Process": {
"phases": [
{
"name": "Agent job 1",
"refName": "Job_1",
"condition": "succeeded()",
"target": {
"executionOptions": {
"type": 0
},
"allowScriptsAuthAccessOption": False,
"type": 1
},
"jobAuthorizationScope": "project"
}
]
}
})
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Basic '+pat,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
Successfully created on my side:
Please note that the above sample is the simplest situation, there is nothing in the created pipeline. If you want specific requirements in pipeline, I suggest you to first manually create a pipeline, and then use this API so that from the response you can know how the request structure of Create API should be.
The code above is based on this REST API:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/build/definitions/create?view=azure-devops-rest-5.0
By the way, if you want YAML definition, there should be additional step to push the YAML definition to your repo.
