Azure CLI 任务中的文件路径

Question

I have an Azure CLI task which references a PowerShell script (via build artifact) running az commands. Most of these commands work successfully, but when attempting to execute the following command:

az appconfig kv import --name $resourceName -s file --path appconfig.json --format json

I've noticed that the information was not present against the Azure resource and the log file has "File is not available".

I must be referencing the file incorrectly from the build artifact but if anyone could provide some clarity around this that would be great.

Answer 1

I must be referencing the file incorrectly from the build artifact

You can try to add $(System.ArtifactsDirectory) to the json file path. For example: --path $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/appconfig.json .

System.ArtifactsDirectory : The directory to which artifacts are downloaded during deployment of a release. Example: C:\agent\_work\r1\a

For details,please refer to predefined variables .

Answer 2

This can be a little tricky to figure out.

System.ArtifactsDirectory is the default variable that indicates the directory to which artifacts are downloaded during deployment of a release.

However, to use a default variable in your script, you must first replace the . in the default variable names with _ . For example, to print the value of artifact variable System.ArtifactsDirectory in a PowerShell script, you would have to use $env:SYSTEM_ARTIFACTSDIRECTORY .

I have a similar setup and do it this way within my PowerShell script:

# Define the path to the file
$appSettingsFile="$env:SYSTEM_ARTIFACTSDIRECTORY\<rest_of_the_path>\appconfig.json"

# Pass it to the Azure CLI command
az appconfig kv import -n $appConfigName -s file --path $appSettingsFile --format json --separator . --yes

It is also helpful to view the current values of all variables to see what they contain before using them.
