devops-service | DevOps Service is the core service | Microservice library

I have the following scenario, it is simplified for the sake of brevity, but outlines my problem.

I have a 2 Job pipeline.

BreakMatrix Job: A job that runs on an AdminPool and outputs 2 variables with the following names ENV1 and ENV2. The names are important because each of them matches the name of an Environment running in a separate MachinePool VM deployment pool.

Upgrade Job: A deployment job that depends on the BreakMatrix job and that runs on a VM MachinePool, with a tag that will select ENV1 and ENV2 environments.

I am trying to pass in one of the variables to each of the corresponding Environments:

Am able to create a new service endpoint using

Create Service EndPoint

And also able to grant it with Pipeline Permissions using below

curl --request PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u $user:$token -d "@newpatch.json" https://dev.azure.com/$org/$project/_apis/pipelines/pipelinePermissions/endpoint/$connection_id\?api-version\=5.1-preview.1

But when am trying to use the service connection in the pipeline it is giving me below error

Failed to query service connection API: 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/resourcegroups?api-version=2019-05-01'. Status Code: 'BadRequest', Response from server: '{"error":{"code":"InvalidSubscriptionId","message":"The provided subscription identifier 'resourcegroups' is malformed or invalid."}}'

I have tried with - update restproxy but I still see the error, not sure on the body for the script

Please help

I have the pull-request build in Azure DevOps in that I have used inline PowerShell script to get the Pull Request ID by following System variables (DevOps Services) documentation.

But I want to get the values of Pull Request Created by and Approved by using predefined variables.

So, can anyone suggest how to do it.

I'm a newbie to Azure

I created a new Vue project using vue create which runs locally and even serving the dist folder too it run successfully. (serve -s dist)

And then I deployed the application using GitActions to Azure(Web App Service) which Azure DevOps services indicated that the deployment has been successful: azure-devops-service-github-actions

So I was expecting to see the default page as: vue-app-default-page-content

Instead, it still shows as: azure-site-landing-page

There are no error messages, and I'm not sure how best to debug what has gone wrong with a deployment. Also not sure if later when I use the application with any REST APIs does it include any configurations to get it up and running.

Secondly, not a blocker, but after removing these lines from the workflow - master.yml file the deployment continued without any issue. Used Node 12 and Node 14. I Googled and have no idea why??

I built a Scale Set(Windows) and I can run simple commands successfully on my Azure Devops Custom Agent Pool, with a custom VM based on Windows 19 Server Core based on this guide.

However, when I try to access any Azure Devops predefined variables in any of my tasks they are not recognised. For example executing:

Hoping someone can help me with this as looking back at my git log I've now tried 14 different things to try to get this to work. Here's the scenario:

• I created a variable in the UI called deploy_custom_env and checked "User can set variable at runtime." I initialized it to "default", but I am expecting users to override it when starting manual runs.

• I am trying to use this variable in the condition for some of my pipeline stages.

• I've tried many, many different things. Here are some examples:

First:

In Azure Pipeline is possible use predefined build variables (DevOps Services) Build.SourceBranch and Build.SourceBranchName but their values at case commit with tag are tags.

In doc. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#build-variables-devops-services is written

• When your pipeline is triggered by a tag: refs/tags/your-tag-name
• The name of the branch in the triggering repo the build was queued for. Git repo branch or pull request: The last path segment in the ref. For example, in refs/heads/master this value is master. In refs/heads/feature/tools this value is tools.

• this my observation: but in case commit with tag is the last path segment of Build.SourceBranch, so your-tag-name

I'm trying to create reporting against work items in Azure DevOps from PowerBI for my entire organization. But I don't have access to all of the projects, so the odata connector returns an error. (per the last statement on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/powerbi/analytics-security?view=azure-devops)

Can I use a different PAT through Power BI? I don't see a way to do this.

I tried following the answer from How do you get DimIteration table information from Azure Devops Services into Power BI? with a PAT I was given and a variety of URLS, but did not work.

And I'm using Power BI (not writing C#, Java, etc.), so I don't see where the Authentication Guide fits into my solution.
