有没有办法用 Azure-Pipelines 打开多个 CMD 实例？

Question

I'm using Azure-Pipelines for my CI. In my pipeline, I need to use multiple instances of a CMD (Windows). For example, one CMD needs to start and continuously run a server, while the other needs to then deploy an app while the server is still running.

When using the CMD task, it only uses one instance of the CMD, so when I run the server, it never finishes and never gets to running the app.

Is there a way to run multiple instances of a CMD with Azure-Pipelines?

You can start cmd.exe on the agent machine from a powershell task using Start-Process command.

So you can add multiple powershell tasks to start multiple CMD instances on the agent machine. Or you can start multiple CMD instances in one powershell task. Se below example:

steps:
  - powershell: |
    'Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" -verb runas -ArgumentList {/k echo "hello"}' 
  - powershell: |
    'Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" -verb runas -ArgumentList {/k echo "world"}'
