Publish file content to service bus from CI pipeline - azure

Question

In my CI pipeline I am trying to publish message to service bus and its working when its just some hardcoded text or variables, here Using "PublishToAzureServiceBus" task .
But problem is when trying to a read file from repository and then publish that to service bus.
I have tried using read file using scripting language and put to variable but its not able to work as variable is not storing big json file.
Is there any way to read file directly when publishing message to service bus.
Below is sample code snippet for debugging
trigger:
- none
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
parameters:
- name: ProjectName
displayName: Project Name
type: string
default: DevOpsDemo
- name: repoName
displayName: repo Name
type: string
default: ProjectCode
- name: branchRef
displayName: Branch Name
type: string
default: main
variables:
- name: jobStatus
value: "Failed"
- name: projectFile
value: ""
stages:
- stage: Stage1
displayName: Stage 1
jobs:
- job: CheckOutRepo
displayName: CheckOut-Repo Display
steps:
- script: |
echo "Checkout for " ${{ parameters.ProjectName}} : ${{ parameters.repoName}} : ${{ parameters.branchRef}}

script: |
import json

f = open('project-release.json')
projectFile = json.load(f)
print(projectFile)
f.close()
print("Afterclosing")
print(projectFile)

I am able to solve this by using setvariable in bash script as below
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
stages:
- stage: Stage1
displayName: Stage 1
jobs:
- job: CheckOutRepo
displayName: CheckOut-Repo Display
steps:
- checkout: git://${{ parameters.ProjectName}}/${{ parameters.repoName}}#refs/heads/${{ parameters.branchRef}}
name: Checkout
- bash: |
data=$(cat project-release.json)
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=jobStatus;isOutput=true]$(jobStatus)"
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=data;isOutput=true]"$data
name: SetStatus
condition: always()
- stage: Stage2
displayName: Stage 2
condition: always()
jobs:
- job: Publish
pool: server
variables:
jobStatus: $[ stageDependencies.Stage1.CheckOutRepo.outputs['SetStatus.jobStatus'] ]
projectFile: $[ stageDependencies.Stage1.CheckOutRepo.outputs['SetStatus.data'] ]
steps:
- task: PublishToAzureServiceBus#1
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'SBConnection'
messageBody: |
{
"Status": "$(jobStatus)",
"BuildID": "$(build.buildid)",
"BuildNumber":"$(build.buildnumber)",
"projectFile":$(projectFile)
}
signPayload: false
waitForCompletion: false
condition: always()
