Enabling An AgentJob to run Depending on a previous agent and agentless job in Azure Devops-CodePudding

Within an Azure Pipeline, I have an agent job called "job_3" which I want to run if it fulfills the following conditions:

If Job_1(agent job) is successful or
If Job_1(agent job) fails but Job_2(agentless job) succeeds. Job_2 runs only if Job_1 fails.

To start Job_3 in the pipeline I used custom variable expressions for it to trigger:

The expression I used:

and( eq(dependencies.Job_1.result,'Succeeded'), eq(dependencies.Job_2.result,'Succeeded') )

I get an error saying that there are cycle dependencies. What can i do to mitigate the issue?

CodePudding user response：

An error saying that there are cycle dependencies.

The cause of this issue could be that there are cycle dependencies in the dependencies set by your jobs.

For example: Job_1 depend on Job_2 , Job2 depend on Job_1.

Based on your requirements, you can reset the following dependencies to fix this issue.

Job2 depend on Job 1 and Job 3 depend on Job 1 and Job 2.

In this case , the job_2 will run depend on the result of Job_1 and the Job_3 will depend on the result of job_1 and job_2.

YAML sample:

jobs:
 - job: job1
  
 - job: job2
   dependsOn: job1

 - job: job3
   dependsOn: 
    - job1
    - job2

Classic Sample:

Job_1

Job_2

Job_3
