Azure DevOps Pipeline : How to release Project binary file into Azure.
How can I deploy project binary files into server using Azure Pipeline, don't want to release project full source code?
You would do something like this.
create a deployment group
create a build, configure it
create a release, configure it (get artifacts from build, deploy to deployment group)
These are the steps you need to perform. link has more information on this matter

I have a simple executable, that I have build and unittested in a build pipeline.
now I want to install it on some test machines and run some tests on the app, before releasing it to production. (eventually I hope to automate the tests with specflow, but that is the next step)
So basically I have an helloworld.exe build, that I want to be installed from a pipeline to at test agent computer.
I think clickonce is the optimal option, but am unsure how to set it up on azure devops. (we use a server on premises)
Msbuild has Publish target to build and publish the ClickOnce application. It will generate the setup.exe you want. Please check document: Create and build a basic ClickOnce application with MSBuild. In release pipeline you can use msbuild task or Visual Studio Task with Publish target(/t:Publish as argument).
Then you'll get one app.publish folder where the files you want exist there:
This folder can be used for your further deployment.
Here is a ticket you can refer to .
In addition, azure devops Marketplace provides some extension: ClickOnce Packager, ClickOnceMore DevOps Pipeline Task.
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 new to Azure devops. Here I have a requirement to do dacpac file build and deployment in Azure devops.can anyone help me to share me the step to step procedure.
I am using visual studio 2017.
Thanks
How to build and deploy dacpac in azure devops
You can use build pipeline to build that and then deploy it using release pipeline.
1.If you developed the sql server project by VS, you can publish it to Azure Devops Repos following this document.
2.Then create a build pepeline following this, you can use classic UI editor without YAML to configure your pipeline.
1) Select the Azure Devops Git as source. And choose the sql server project published from VS.
2) Choose the agent you want to use in Agent Job, Hosted agent or Private agent.
3) Click the + in Agent Job to add a task. You can choose the Visual Studio build task, this task will call msbuild.exe to build your sql server project.
3.To deploy the output of sql server project, there're many choices. One is to use Windows Machine File Copy task to deploy the files in current agent to destination folder in remote machine. You can use this task in Release or even Build Pipeline to do that.
Hope it helps and if I misunderstand anything, feel free to contact me.
I am trying to deploy my flask application on Linux web apps.
I want to set a azure pipeline for my code which is pushed on an azure repository.
I have made all the configuration changes in my python code and created a web app with runtime stack of Python 3.7
As soon as I go to deployment center to deploy my code, after selecting the azure repository as the source of my code, I am redirected to an option of azure pipelines where we have to configure our build settings.
But the build does not gives any option for Python. It just gives me four build options such as Node, Ruby, Asp.Net and php.
I cannot use :
- Docker
- Git
With such limitations I have found no suitable tutorial to do the same.
Can someone tell me some way to set the pipeline for my python project ?
Azure DevOps CI/CD works with any language, platform and cloud. Just for Python application, you may need add additional steps to achieve the deployment from Azure Devops CI/CD.
CI
Since the python is an interpreted language, do not need the compilation. If none of other step, like test, just need use 2 tasks in CI pipeline: Archive Files task and Publish Build Artifacts task.
The Archive Files task used to pack the python application source folder into a zip package to use it in CD. And Publish Build Artifacts task will publish this zip package to Release pipeline.
BUT,
If your project contains and needs test, please add another Command line task to run the test by using pytest.
But, in azure devops, you need configure the python environment with some tasks if you want to use python component like pytest.
Here please refer to this blog.
Note: Since the stack you are using is Python 3.7, please specify the python version as 3.x in the Using Python task.
CD
Since you have create the app service in Azure portal, just skip step 4(Add Azure CLI task) in Exercise 3: Configure Release pipeline which shown in this blog, because Step 4 just used to create a new Azure Resources.
1. To deploy the python application, you need add the Azure App Service manage task first to install the corresponding python version site extension in release pipeline:
It would install set of corresponding tools to support to manage your app service.
2. Next you could use Azure App Service deploy to deploy the zip package which created in the Build pipeline, to the app service you configured in Azure portal.
After specified the subscription in this task, the app service will automatically display in the drop list of App Service name:
Then specified the path which you configured in the publish task of the build pipeline. Replace $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) as $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory), and replace $(Build.BuildId) as * to search the zip package by using the fuzzy search.
I have built an automation framework using Java, Selenium Webdriver, Maven, TestNG. Currently, I am using Jenkins for pipeline and CI.
Now new requirement assigned to me is using Azure DevOps as CI tool and execute all test from there instead of Jenkins.
After some research, I am getting the following :
Upload code to Github or other azure supported repo. and create a pipeline.
Write your Java code using Visual studio code and then it will be far easy to execute from Azure DevOps.
Is there any better way to do this?
You need to follow steps below. Main effort is of tools integration if those are not present in azure devops portal :
I am not sure which code repository you are using however if you are not using one which is supported by Azure devops, then you need integrate it with azure devops portal.
Create agentpool in azure devops with same configuration as your jenkins agent.
Create build pipeline in azure devops. It will ask your repository name . Give the same.
4.While Creating pipeline it will ask you whether to create azure pipline yaml or not . Say "Yes" and it will create sample yaml file in code repository.
Open Yaml file.
give your agentpool name where they have mentioned it.
under section " steps "
mention all steps which you want to do run test cases. you would mentioned same
thing is jenkins pipeline under stages --> steps like shell ''' '''
save yaml and run it. you are done
NOTE : Main thing is configuration of agentpool. you need to make it should have all software tools ( except jenkin agent jar :) ).
