when I run the build pipeline I am getting ##[error]File not found: 'git'. I have an agent running on a server. I installed Git on the server. The pipeline is using this agent and is tied to an Azure repo. I am using simple script as below. Please advice.
trigger:
- master
pool: 'build agent'
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
steps:
- script: echo Hello, world!
displayName: 'Run a one-line script'
script: |
echo Add other tasks to build, test, and deploy your project.
echo See https://aka.ms/yaml
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
Here is all that you have to do if you want to create your Azure Pipeline:
Browse to Azure Pipelines and click on New Pipeline
Select Azure Repo when asked about the source of your codebase
Select your repository
Review your Pipeline YAML and click on Run
And voila, you have your first build running!
For customizing your build pipeline further, please check the various built-in build and release tasks.
Here is the YAML schema for your reference.

I want to tag my pipeline build during the build process itself. For which based on the official document I tried echo ##vso[build.addbuildtag]testing in the pipeline yaml. There was no error but the build was not tagged either.
I'm able to add tags from portal successfully.
My pipleine yaml below.
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
jobs:
- job: addingtag
displayName: addingtag
steps:
- script: |
echo ##vso[build.addbuildtag]testing
displayName: addingtag
Below are other combinations I tried and still failed.
echo ##vso[build.addbuildtag] testing
echo ##vso[build.addbuildtag]Tag_testing
You may need to add double quotes, I could successfully add tag by using YAML script like below.
- script: |
echo "##vso[build.addbuildtag]testing"
displayName: addingtag
I have a repository in Github and want to integrate it into Azure-DevOps. I connected both the repositories in Github as well as Azure-devops.
When I commit some code into Github the changes are not getting updated automatically in Azure. Is there anyway that we can automatically pull the changes if there are any new changes in Github?
Any references/suggestions are much appreciated.
Update:
Azure DevOps doesn't have such a built-in feature to sync the Github repo to the DevOps repo now.
If you need the feature, you can upvote the feature request in this place:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/automatically-sync-azure-devops-repository-with-gi/516057
When enough people request a new feature, Microsoft will include it in future product plans.
1, You need to use code/script to sync the repo and use the CI Trigger of the YAML pipeline to capture the changes in the Github repo.
trigger:
- <branch name>
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
variables:
- name: system.debug
value: true
steps:
- script: |
echo put the logic here
displayName: 'Push changes to DevOps repo'
The code you can refer to this page:
https://dileepveldi.medium.com/sync-azure-devops-repo-with-github-repo-35a958d7784e
2, Then after the above pipeline pushes the changes, you need to captrue the changes via the CI trigger of the YAML pipeline on DevOps side.
trigger:
- <branch name>
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
variables:
- name: system.debug
value: true
steps:
- script: |
echo xxx
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
Original Answer:
If you mean integrating Github repo and Azure DevOps pipeline, for example, you need continuous integration on main branch of your repo.
Then, follow the below steps.
1, For classic pipeline:
2, For YAML pipeline:
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- script: |
echo Add other tasks to build, test, and deploy your project.
echo See https://aka.ms/yaml
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
If what you mean is not integrating Github repo and Azure DevOps pipeline, please clarify your requirements.
I can't get my yaml pipeline to trigger based off the build completion of another pipeline.
This is the code from the yaml pipeline I am trying to trigger to run, where pipelineX is the name of the pipeline build I want the run to trigger off of:
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: trigger-pipeline
source: pipelineX
trigger: true
steps:
- task: Bash#3
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: |
echo 'pipeline runs here'
Both pipelines are part of the same project, so that should not be an issue.
I have similar setup with my project. I am triggering 'PipelineNeedsTrigger' build based on successful build of 'PipelineTriggerFrom' pipeline. Both pipelines are under the same project. I have exported my YAML and added snippet here which might help you. I have added below trigger into my 'PipelineNeedsTrigger' which will trigger once the 'PipelineTriggerFrom' has successful build on 'master' branch. This might help you link.
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: PipelineTriggerFrom
source: PipelineTriggerFrom
trigger:
branches:
include:
- refs/heads/master
The goal
I'm pretty new to Azure and pipelines, and I'm trying to trigger a pipeline from a pr in Azure. The repo lives in Github.
Here is the pipeline yaml: pipeline.yml
trigger: none # I turned this off for to stop push triggers (but they work fine)
pr:
branches:
include:
- "*" # This does not trigger the pipeline
stages:
- stage: EchoTriggerStage
displayName: Echoing trigger reason
jobs:
- job: A
steps:
- script: echo 'Build reason::::' $(Build.Reason)
displayName: The build reason
# ... some more stages here triggered by PullRequests....
# ... some more stages here triggered by push (CI)....
The pr on Github looks like this:
The problem
However, the pipeline is not triggered, when the push triggers work just fine.
I have read in the docs but I can't see why this does not work.
The pipeline is working perfectly fine when I am triggering it through git push. However, when I try to trigger it with PR's from Github, nothing happens. In the code above, I tried turning off push triggers, and allow for all pr's to trigger the pipeline. Still nothing.
I do not want to delete the pipeline yet and create a new one.
Update
I updated the yaml file to work as suggested underneath. Since the pipeline actually runs through a push command now, the rest of the details of the yaml file are not relevant and are left out.
Other things I have tried
Opening new PR on Github
Closing/Reopening PR on Github
Making change to existing PR on Github
-> Still no triggering of pipeline.
You have a mistake in your pipeline. It should be like this:
trigger: none # turned off for push
pr:
- feature/automated-testing
steps:
- script: echo "PIPELINE IS TRIGGERED FROM PR"
Please change this
- stage:
- script: echo "PIPELINE IS TRIGGERED FROM PR"
to
- stage:
jobs:
- job:
steps:
- script: echo "PIPELINE IS TRIGGERED FROM PR"
EDIT
I used your pipeline
trigger: none # I turned this off for to stop push triggers (but they work fine)
pr:
branches:
include:
- "*" # This does not trigger the pipeline
stages:
- stage: EchoTriggerStage
displayName: Echoing trigger reason
jobs:
- job: A
steps:
- script: echo 'Build reason::::' $(Build.Reason)
displayName: The build reason
# ... some more stages here triggered by PullRequests....
# ... some more stages here triggered by push (CI)....
and all seems to be working.
Here is PR and here build for it
I didn't do that but you can try to enforce this via branch policy. TO do that please go to repo settings and then as follow:
The solution was to go to Azure Pipelines -> Edit pipeline -> Triggers -> Enable PR validation.
You can follow below steps to troubleshooting your pipeline.
1, First you need to make sure a pipeline was created from the yaml file on azure devops Portal. See example in this tutorial.
2, Below part of your yaml file is incorrect. - script task should be under steps section.
Change:
stages:
- stage:
- script: echo "PIPELINE IS TRIGGERED FROM PR"
To:
stages:
- stage:
jobs:
- job:
step:
- script: echo "PIPELINE IS TRIGGERED FROM PR"
3, I saw you used template in your yaml file. Please make sure the template yaml files are in correct format. For example:
the dockerbuild-dashboard-client.yml template of yours is a step template. You need to make sure its contents is like below:
parameters:
...
steps:
- script: echo "task 1"
- script: echo "task 2"
And webapprelease-dashboard-dev-client.yml of yours is a job template. Its contents should be like below:
parameters:
name: ''
pool: ''
sign: false
jobs:
- job: ${{ parameters.name }}
pool: ${{ parameters.pool }}
steps:
- script: npm install
- script: npm test
- ${{ if eq(parameters.sign, 'true') }}:
- script: sign
4, After the pipeline was created on azure devops Portal. You can manually run this pipeline to make sure there is no error in the yaml file and the pipeline can be successfully executed.
5, If All above are checked, but the PR trigger still is not working. You can try deleting the pipeline(created on the first step) created on Azure devops portal and recreated a new pipeline from the yaml file.
I am using an Open-Source project Magda (https://magda.io/docs/building-and-running) and want to make an Azure CI/CD Pipeline.
For this project, there are some prerequisites like having sbt + yarn + docker + java installed.
How can I specify those requirements in the azure-pipelines.yml file.
Is it possible in azure-pipelines.yml file, to just write scripts? Without any use of jobs or tasks? And what's the difference between them (Tasks,Jobs ... )
(I'm currently starting with it, so I don't have much experience)
That's my current azure-pipelines.yml file (if there is something wrong please tell me)

I recommend you read this Key concepts for new Azure Pipelines users
It is possible to put all your stuff in one script step, but now you have logical separation, and this helps navigate and read file than one really long step.
Here you have some bascis from above mentioned documentation:
A trigger tells a Pipeline to run.
A pipeline is made up of one or more stages. A pipeline can deploy to one or more environments.
A stage is a way of organizing jobs in a pipeline and each stage can have one or more jobs.
Each job runs on one agent. A job can also be agentless.
Each agent runs a job that contains one or more steps.
A step can be a task or script and is the smallest building block of a pipeline.
A task is a pre-packaged script that performs an action, such as invoking a REST API or publishing a build artifact.
An artifact is a collection of files or packages published by a run.
But I really recommend you to go through it.
For this project , there are some prerequisites like having sbt + yarn + docker + java installed. How can i specifiy those requirements in the azure-pipelines.yml file.
If you are using Microsoft hosted agents you cannot specify demands
Demands and capabilities apply only to self-hosted agents. When using Microsoft-hosted agents, you select an image for the hosted agent. You cannot use capabilities with hosted agents.
So if you need sth what is not inside the agent you can install it and use taht new piece of sfotware. Later when you job is finished agent is restroed to original version. If you go for self hosted agent you can specify demands and based on agents capabilities it can be assigned to your job.
