Azure Devops yaml Pipeline - PowerShell file move, then commit-CodePudding

I am able to move files (using PowerShell) in my Azure DevOps yaml pipeline.

I am able to commit to my git repo via Azure DevOps yaml pipeline. (As found here)

The problem is that I cannot do both in the same pipeline. Moving files worked fine until I added the following commands in a nested template (gitCalled.yml):

steps:
- checkout: self
  persistCredentials: true

- script: |
   git config --global user.email [email protected] & git config --global user.name "Continuous.Integrator"
  workingDirectory: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)

- script: |
   git checkout -b packaging-test
   echo 'This is a test' > data.txt
   git add -A
   git commit -m "deployment $(Build.BuildNumber)"
   git push --set-upstream origin packaging-test 
  displayName: Add data.txt file
  workingDirectory: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)

Specifically, the checkout/persistCredentials command is what appears to be the issue. The result, when using it, is that my powershell file is no longer able to be found. If I comment out that command, my git commands fail, but the powerShell file is found and ran.

I'm in an either-or situation, but I want to do both ;)

Here is the calling template:

parameters:
  - name: aliasPackageName
    type: string
  
stages: 
  - stage: PipelineMoveFiles
    displayName: Pipeline
    jobs:
    - job: MoveFiles
      displayName: MoveFiles
      pool:
        vmImage: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        
        - pwsh: |
            $numOfForceAppFiles = $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/PackageCreation/MoveFiles.ps1 
            Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=numOfForceAppFiles;isOutput=true]$numOfForceAppFiles"
          name: movesFilesStep
          displayName: Move files to their package folders
        
        - pwsh: |
            Write-Host "Number of files still to move: "$(movesFilesStep.numOfForceAppFiles)
            if ( 0 -eq $numOfForceAppFiles )
            {
                Write-Host "All Files were moved"
            }
            else
            {
              Write-Host "All Files were NOT moved"
              # exit 1;
            } 
          displayName: Validate that all files were moved

        - template: gitCalled.yml

Finishing: Move files to their package folders

Any help would be much appreciated!!

CodePudding user response：

Based on your YAML sample, you need to execute the Powershell file in PowerShell Inline script and get the output.

You can use the script to execute the ps file:

$numOfForceAppFiles = & "$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/PackageCreation/MoveFiles.ps1"

Refer to the following sample:

parameters:
  - name: aliasPackageName
    type: string
  
stages: 
  - stage: PipelineMoveFiles
    displayName: Pipeline
    jobs:
    - job: MoveFiles
      displayName: MoveFiles
      pool:
        vmImage: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        
        - pwsh: |
　　　　　　　$numOfForceAppFiles = & "$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/PackageCreation/MoveFiles.ps1" 
　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=numOfForceAppFiles;isOutput=true]$numOfForceAppFiles"
          displayName: Move files to their package folders

Instead of running the powershell and git commands in different steps (pwsh and script) I decided to roll them together. The following is a partial, but working code.

steps:
- checkout: self
  persistCredentials: true
  clean: true

- powershell: |
   git --version
   git config user.email [email protected]
   git config user.name "Continuous.Integrator"   
   
   git checkout -b packaging-test
   $numOfForceAppFiles = $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/PackageCreation/MoveFiles.ps1
   git add -A
   git commit -m "deployment $(Build.BuildNumber)"
   git push --set-upstream origin packaging-test
