unexpected-property first should be a Task

[vishnu-anil]

I am following the documentation to create a pipeline that runs a specific task based on the parameter i provide.

By simply adding the sample pipeline given here throws an error in the editor: "unexpected-property-first should be a task">>> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/runtime-parameters?view=azure-devops&tabs=script

This is the same for conditional execution of job as well. Can someone direct me on what wrong am i doing here?

`parameters:

• name: image displayName: Pool Image default: ubuntu-latest values:
  • windows-latest
  • vs2017-win2016
  • ubuntu-latest
  • ubuntu-16.04
  • macOS-latest
  • macOS-10.14
• name: test displayName: Run Tests? type: boolean default: false

trigger: none

jobs:

• job: build displayName: Build and Test pool: vmImage: ${{ parameters.image }} steps:
  • script: echo building $(Build.BuildNumber)
  • ${{ if eq(parameters.test, true) }}:
  • script: echo "Running all the tests"`

Hello, @vishnu-anil I've tried to reproduce you YAML, and all looks good: I suggest, that you have somewhere wrong formatting - may you check your YAML once again. For example, if I'll add one more space before - ${{ if eq(parameters.test, true) }}: - I'll get the invalid YAML structure

Thank you!
