[Question] How can I pass variables to the Azure Devops Pipeline

[pmmluis]

Hi,

I'm using this action and I'm able to trigger the DevOps pipeline, but I can't seem to get the variables working. Using it like so:

runs-on: ubuntu-20.04 steps:

• name: DevOps release trigger if: github.event_name == 'push' uses: Azure/pipelines@v1 with: azure-devops-project-url: 'https://dev.azure.com/orgnization/project' azure-pipeline-name: 'Pipeline' # name of the Azure pipeline to be triggered azure-devops-token: '${{ secrets.AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN }}' azure-pipeline-variables: '{"Branch": "testbranch", "App.Name": "apptest"}' # optional stringified json

I was expecting to pass the variables to the Azure DevOps pipeline, but nothing happens. The variable exists on the DevOps pipeline but isn't updated when the release happens.

It looks like v1.2 has added support for the variables and the v1 tag is not pointed to latest. The docs currently are a bit misleading. When running on v1 a warning is thrown for the unexpected input: Unexpected input(s) 'azure-pipeline-variables', valid inputs are ['azure-devops-project-url', 'azure-pipeline-name', 'azure-devops-token']

That solved it for me. Thanks for the help.
