Question

Can we write user define functions in azure pipeline yaml file ?

That means I want to perform a specific task by using a function in any language like (PYTHON,SHELL,PERL etc), which should return the value after the execution of the code.

Answer 1

Yes you can, using Command Line Task :

- script: # script path or inline
  workingDirectory: #
  displayName: #
  failOnStderr: #
  env: { string: string } # mapping of environment variables to add

Actually I don't want to do this through CMD task.

Lets suppose I have written one function and stored it in some library and I want to call that function as a Azure tasks.

for example:

I have "function1" written in some file like :

function1 (x y) {
    return 1 ; 
}

and I want to call function1 as a "Azure task"
