Skipped pipeline stage in Azure devops - azure

Question

Problem
When the pipeline underneath is triggered, the Dev stage is not being run after Build and push.
The pipeline is triggered with a PR with develop as the target branch.
pipeline.yaml
trigger:
branches:
include:
- master
- develop
pr:
branches:
include:
- develop
stages:
# Frontend tests: Triggered by opening new PRs to develop or updating pr to develop.
- stage: FrontEndTests
displayName: "Frontend tests"
condition: eq( variables['Build.Reason'], 'PullRequest') # Trigger stage only for PullRequests
jobs:
- template: /templates/pipelines/npm-unit-tests.yml#templates
parameters:
triggerType: ${{ variables.triggerType }}
# Common build triggered by push to master or develop
- stage: BuildPush
displayName: "Build and push"
condition: ne(variables['Build.Reason'], 'PullRequest') # Don't perform stage if PR triggered pipeline
variables:
envName: "common"
jobs:
- template: /templates/pipelines/dockerbuild-dashboard-client.yml#templates
parameters:
displayName: "Build docker image"
deploymentName: "docker_build_push"
dependsOn: ""
# Dev deploy stage
- stage: dev
displayName: "Dev"
dependsOn: BuildPush
condition: and(succeeded(), ne(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master'))
variables:
envName: "dev"
jobs:
- template: /templates/pipelines/webapprelease-dashboard-dev-client.yml#templates
parameters:
dependsOn: ""
deploymentName: "publish_container_to_webapp"
# Test deploy stage
- stage: test
displayName: "Test"
dependsOn: BuildPush
condition: and(succeeded(), ne(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/develop'))
jobs:
- template: /templates/pipelines/webapprelease-dashboard-test-client.yml#templates
parameters:
dependsOn: ""
deploymentName: "publish_container_to_webapp"
# Prod deploy stage
- stage: prod
displayName: "Prod"
dependsOn: test
condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master'))
variables:
envName: "prod"
jobs:
- template: /templates/pipelines/webapprelease-dashboard-prod-client.yml#templates
parameters:
dependsOn: ""
deploymentName: "publish_container_to_webapp"
Question
Why is the Dev stage not run? It seems to me that the conditions for the dev stage are not met, but I cannot see why.

Answer 1

In your case succeded is evaluated as
With no arguments, evaluates to True only if all previous jobs in the dependency graph succeeded or partially succeeded.
And FrontEndTests was skipped thus while was evaluated as false.
Please change it to
condition: |
and(
or
(
in(dependencies.FrontEndTests.result, 'Succeeded', 'SucceededWithIssues', 'Skipped'),
in(dependencies.BuildPush.result, 'Succeeded', 'SucceededWithIssues', 'Skipped')
),
ne(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master'))
I tested this on this case and it works as above
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
stages:
- stage: build
displayName: Build
condition: eq( variables['Build.Reason'], 'PullRequest')
jobs:
- job: Build
steps:
- bash: echo "Build"
- stage: test
displayName: Test
condition: succeeded()
jobs:
- job: Test
steps:
- bash: echo "Test"
- stage: test2
displayName: Test2
condition: |
or(
in(dependencies.build.result, 'Succeeded', 'SucceededWithIssues', 'Skipped'),
in(dependencies.test.result, 'Succeeded', 'SucceededWithIssues', 'Skipped')
)
jobs:
- job: Test2
steps:
- bash: echo "Test2"
