This Azure Pipelines task replaces tokens in text based files with variable values.
Please refer to the release page for the latest release notes.
The task was completely rewritten to use the npm package @qetza/replacetokens and be more similar with the new ReplaceTokens GitHub Actions:

- task: qetza.replacetokens.replacetokens-task.replacetokens@6
inputs:
# A multiline list of files to replace tokens in.
# Each line supports:
# - multiple glob patterns separated by a semi-colon ';' using fast-glob syntax
# (you must always use forward slash '/' as a directory separator, on win32 will
# automatically replace backslash with forward slash)
# - outputing the result in another file adding the output path after an arrow '=>'
# (if the output path is a relative path, it will be relative to the input file)
# - wildcard replacement in the output file name using an asterix '*' in the input
# and output file names
#
# Example: '**/*.json; !**/local/* => out/*.json' will match all files ending with
# '.json' in all directories and sub directories except in `local` directory and the
# output will be in a sub directory `out` relative to the input file keeping the file
# name.
#
# Required.

# Optional. Default: false
addBOM: ''
# A YAML formatted string containing additional variable values (keys are case-insensitive).
# Value can be:
# - an object: properties will be parsed as key/value pairs
# - a string starting with '@': value is parsed as multiple glob patterns separated
# by a semi-colon ';' using fast-glob syntax to JSON or YAML files
# - a string starting with '$': value is parsed as an environment variable name
# containing JSON encoded key/value pairs
# - an array: each item must be an object or a string and will be parsed as
# specified previously
#
# Multiple entries are merge into a single list of key/value pairs.
#
# Example:
# - '@**/*.json;**/*.yml;!**/local/*'
# - '$COMPUTER_VARS'
# - var1: '${{ parameters.var1 }}'
#
# will add all variables from:
# - '.json' and '.yml' files except under 'local' directory,
# - the environment variable 'COMPUTER_VARS'
# - the inline variable 'var1'

# - lower(name): lowercase the value
# - raw(name): raw value (disable escaping)
# - upper(name): uppercase the value

# Example: 'key=#{upper(KEY1)}#' with '{ "KEY1": "value1" }' will result in

The Replace Tokens task for Azure Pipelines collects anonymous usage data and sends them by default to its author to help improve the product. If you don't wish to send usage data, you can change your telemetry settings through the telemetryOptout parameter or by setting the REPLACETOKENS_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT
environment variable to 1
or true
.
The following anonymous data is send:
server
or cloud
)Windows
, macOS
or Linux
)succeed
or failed
)You can see the JSON serialized telemetry data sent in debug logs.
