How to get value from Azure App Service from Azure pipeline

Question

I have a configuration in App Service like thisI want to pass this setting into the argument of a pipeline's taskHow can I do it?

I've tried to create a variable group but I still don't know how to link the app setting into the variable

Answer 1

Microsoft provide command line tools to access this information. I don't have a web-app to access to give specific commands but roughly something like this.

See documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-common?tabs=cli#configure-app-settings

For example using az cli you could do something like:

az webapp config connection-string list --resource-group <group-name> --name <app-name> > settings.json

You can then select the specific item out of that list using jq .

myvalue=$(jq -r.some.path settings.json)

And you can also set the value in a variable which you can use in another task:

##vso[task.setvariable variable=appsetting;]value

So:

1. Download app settings
2. Select item
3. Set variable to pass to next step
4. Use variable in next step.
