I am writing a simple azure-pipelines.yml to install terraform and do a manual approval before proceeding to the terraform apply. I get the below error:

Job manual_approval: Step reference task manual validation at version '0.198.0' which is not valid for the given job target

Here's my yaml.

# Starter pipeline
# Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code.
# Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more:
# https://aka.ms/yaml

trigger:
- test

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

jobs:

  - job: install_terraform
    displayName: "Installing Terraform"
    steps:
      - task: ms-devlabs.custom-terraform-tasks.custom-terraform-installer-task.TerraformInstaller@0
        displayName: 'Install Terraform latest'

  - job: terraform_init
    displayName: "Terraform Init"
    dependsOn: install_terraform
    steps:
      - task: ms-devlabs.custom-terraform-tasks.custom-terraform-release-task.TerraformTaskV2@2
        displayName: 'Terraform : init'
        inputs:

    dependsOn: terraform_init
    steps:

        timeoutInMinutes: 5
        inputs:
          instructions: "Hi, please validate"

  - job: terrform_apply
    displayName: "Terraform Apply"
    dependsOn: manual_approval   
    steps:    
      - task: ms-devlabs.custom-terraform-tasks.custom-terraform-release-task.TerraformTaskV2@2
        displayName: 'Terraform : Apply'
        inputs:
          command: apply
          workingDirectory: Terraform
          environmentServiceNameAzureRM: 'managedclouds-rnd-001 (xxxx)'

Can someone please help me, I am new to azure devops.

CodePudding user response：

Azure Pipeline step reference task manual validation at version 0.198 which is not valid for the given job target

You should specify the pool: server for that task:

- job: manual_approval
  displayName: "Manual Approval"
  dependsOn: terraform_init
  pool: server
  steps:
  - task: ManualValidation@0
    timeoutInMinutes: 5
    inputs:
      instructions: "Hi, please validate"
