Azure Devops：如何配置我的管道脚本以触发具有不同 repo 的另一个管道？

Question

I have my own pipeline p-A with repository r-A , and pipeline p-B with another repo r-B .

I want to update the pipeline script for p-A only, to trigger the p-B actively, without any modification in p-B .

Below is the yaml pipeline script for p-B , which is already set up to run with schedule

pool:
  name: 'workflow_test_pool'

schedules:
   - cron: "0 19 * * *"
     displayName: run test every day at 8PM CET
     branches:
       include:
         - main
     always: true

trigger: none

jobs:
  - job:
    timeoutInMinutes: 30
    steps:
      - script: |
          python -m pytest tests/ -s
        displayName: 'Run the test'
        

below is the pipeline script main.yaml for p-A

pool:
  name: 'workflow_test_pool'

stages:
  #########################
  - template: pipeline2/p1.yaml


  ############################
  - template: pipeline2/p2.yaml
    parameters:
      dependsOn:
        - FirstPipeline

so the question is, how to trigger the pipeline p-B in pipeline2/p2.yaml (from p-A )?

Answer 1

You can create PowerShell script task as the last step of the pipeline to trigger pipeline pB through REST API. You will have to maintain Personal Access Token, ideally as secret variable.

REST API call you will use: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/runs/run-pipeline?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1

Answer 2

Azure DevOps supports multiple repositories checkout, you can just reference resources function in your YAML script and call another repository to trigger from the pipeline.

YAML code:-

# Starter pipeline

# Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code.

# Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more:

# https://aka.ms/yaml

  

pool:

vmImage: ubuntu-latest

  

workspace:

clean: all

  

resources:

repositories:

- repository: repo_a

type: git

name: InternalProjects/repo_a

trigger:

- main

- release

  

- repository: repo_b

type: git

name: InternalProjects/repo_b

trigger:

- main

steps:

- checkout: repo_a

- checkout: repo_b

  

- script: dir $(Build.SourcesDirectory)

I am running this pipeline from repo_a and the repo_a and repo_b both ran successfully like below:-

Output:-

You can directly run any task from pipeline with multiple repositories like below:-

# Starter pipeline

# Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code.

# Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more:

# https://aka.ms/yaml

  

pool:

vmImage: ubuntu-latest

  

workspace:

clean: all

  

resources:

repositories:

- repository: repo_a

type: git

name: InternalProjects/repo_a

trigger:

- main

- release

  

- repository: repo_b

type: git

name: InternalProjects/repo_b

trigger:

- main

steps:

- checkout: repo_a

  

- checkout: repo_b

- task: AzureCLI@2

inputs:

azureSubscription: 'Subscription-name(sub-id)'

scriptType: 'bash'

scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'

inlineScript: 'az resource list --location uksouth'

Output:-
