Trigger release pipelines? #223

Closed virmitio closed 1 year ago

virmitio commented 1 year ago

It's not readily apparent to me from the documentation, can TriggerBuild task be used to trigger and wait on a release pipeline or only build pipelines? Trying to sequentially chain a pile of existing build and release pipelines in a reliable fashion.

Hi @virmitio

it is not possible to trigger release pipelines with this task.

virmitio commented 1 year ago

Is this a conceivable feature for the future? I'd be very interested to see it, or an alternative task with behavior similar to TriggerBuild that triggers and waits upon a release.

Trying to work around my current problem, if I run a TriggerBuild task and pass waitForQueuedBuildsToFinish as true, is there a variable being set in the calling pipeline that will give me the build/run ID of the build I just triggered?

virmitio commented 1 year ago

Found what I was looking for in the docs, as TriggeredBuildIds

In some future revision, it would be handy to include in the docs a code block with a YAML listing a complete set of possible input parameters and a concise list of outputs/variable produced. Or to have this kind of complete canonical example in a file of the repo, with a link to it from the docs.

Leaving this issue open for now, as the first question of my previous comment is still relevant to the original issue topic.

Hi @virmitio

sorry for the late reply, somehow I've missed the notification emails.

Yes I'll try to provide a more extensive yaml example next time I'll publish a new version. I'd update this issue once I have something ready.

Thanks for raising this.

I've finally published a new version and now included a link to the following file in the docs: https://github.com/huserben/TfsExtensions/blob/master/BuildTasks/yaml_examples.md

There are yaml examples for the 3 different tasks.

Do you see anything missing or can I close this issue now?
