Azure DevOps Pipeline: Pass Parameters to PowerShell-Inline-Task

Question

How can I pass a parameter to a PowerShell-Inline-Task? Or how can I access the parameter in a PowerShell-Inline-Task? I know that there is the "$env"-Variable, and that I can read variables, but how is this done with parameters?

Answer 1

Tested from my side, I use parameters in PowerShell-Inline-Task as the following. The name of the parameter is "paratest", the type is string, the default value of it is one and also it has another value "two".

I get and output the value of the parameter in the PowerShell task using ${{ }}.

parameters:
  - name: paratest
    type: string
    default: one
    values: 
    - one
    - two

trigger:
- none

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: 'Write-Host "The value of parameter paratest is ${{parameters.paratest}}"'

Before I run the pipeline, I can choose the value of the parameter "paratest".

Then I can see the value of this parameter in the PowerShell task.

For more info about parameters, you can refer to Runtime parameters.
