Azure pipeline run build on Pull Request branch

Question

Is there any way to run a pipeline with changes from the Feature branch with the stable branch?

1) I have 2 branches that called develop and feature .

2) I'm trying to do a Pull Request between the develop branch and feature branch.

3) I've configured under the develop branch policy to run a successful pipeline. Used the following documentation

4) When we will run a Pull Request will it merge and run the pipeline on the develop branch with the feature branch changes or only on the develop branch?

---

Frankly my question is when launching the PR its processing the new changes from the child branch with the source branch and running the pipeline on the source branch ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The PR will run on its own branch refs/pull/{pullId}/merge .

A simple place this can be seen is looking at the checkout task of the build you've setup for your policy.

Depending on some of your configuration options (merging strategy and such), the merge branch should contain the prospective results of merging feature into develop .

I believe the policy mechanism would cut a branch from the target and merge the source in.
