I'm using Azure Pipelines as a part of Azure DevOps. I'm trying to define variables in my template file, because I need to use the same value multiple times.
This is my stage-template.yml
:
parameters:
- name: param1
type: string
- name: param2
type: string
variables:
var1: path/${{ parameters.param2 }}/to-my-file.yml
stages:
- stage: Deploy${{ parameters.param2 }}
displayName: Deploy ${{ parameters.param1 }}
jobs:
...
When trying to use this pipeline, I get an error message:
/stage-template.yml (Line: 7, Col: 1): Unexpected value 'variables'
Why is this not working? What did I do wrong?
you cant have parameters in the pipeline, only in the templateReferences:
name: string # build numbering format
resources:
pipelines: [ pipelineResource ]
containers: [ containerResource ]
repositories: [ repositoryResource ]
variables: # several syntaxes, see specific section
trigger: trigger
pr: pr
stages: [ stage | templateReference ]
if you want to use variables in templates you have to use proper syntax:
parameters:
- name: param1
type: string
- name: param2
type: string
stages:
- stage: Deploy${{ parameters.param2 }}
displayName: Deploy ${{ parameters.param1 }}
variables:
var1: path/${{ parameters.param2 }}/to-my-file.yml
jobs:
...
