传递管道变量释放变量 Azure DevOps

Question

Created CICD pipeline with trigger release, and Pipeline variable set in to Azure Devops Rest API. Getting variable in pipeline and set Output true using PowerShell.

 Write-Host $(webAppName) 
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=webAppName;isoutput=true]$webAppName"

And set the release pipeline variable using WebAppName= ${{variables.webAppName}} on the variable tab. It's not working, don't have idea how can we retrive the pipeline variable in release.

Answer 1

The is no official way to pass variables from Build to Release.

Using Variable Groups in Azure Pipeline Library is a good option: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/library/variable-groups?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml

Another work around, you could store the variable values in a file and attach that as a Build Artifact. That way you can read the file in the release pipeline by downloading Build Artifacts and set the variable again.
