Unexpected value 'steps' in azure-pipelines.yml - azure-pipelines-yaml

Pipeline validation fails with Unexpected value 'steps' in acr-login.yaml. Even I tribble-checked the docs and stackoverflows, I can't find the issue in my pipeline:
pipeline.yaml
trigger: none
pool:
name: MyPool
variables:
- template: vars/global.yaml
- template: vars/stage.yaml
stages:
- stage: Import
jobs:
- template: steps/acr-login.yaml
parameters:
registry_name: ${{variables.registry_name}}
acr-login.yaml
parameters:
- name: registry_name
type: string
steps:
- bash: |
az login --identity --output none
az acr login --name ${{ parameters.registry_name }} --output none

Your acr-login.yaml must contain (one or multible) jobs since you are using it as job template:
parameters:
- name: registry_name
type: string
jobs:
- job: myStep
steps:
- bash: |
az login --identity --output none
az acr login --name ${{ parameters.registry_name }} --output none

How to pass variable to REST API that is defined in Environment for a yaml pipeline and how to get the REST API to translate the variable

In Azurce DevOPS I have a REST API defined in Environment and I have a yaml pipline that sets a variable. I want to pass this variable to the REST API but it does not work. I can get it to work fine in a Release Pipeline.
The REST API is used as a gate in Environment.
This is the URL and Parameters in the REST API servicenowchecker/api/ServiceNow/GetServiceNowChangeStatus/$(PipelineChangeNumber)?onlyDate=true and my problem is to get the content of $(PipelineChangeNumber) to work. I cannot fin out how it has to be written in URL and Parameters section
my yaml pipeline looks like this - can someone please help me out - thanks
name: Test_serviceNowCheker-$(Date:yyyyMMdd)$(Rev:.r)

write-host "PipelineChangeNumber = $(PipelineChangeNumber)";
I have tried to write the as $(PipelineChangeNumber) and $[ $(PipelineChangeNumber) ] then the REST API does not work at all.
When it is written as $[ $PipelineChangeNumber ] the REST API starts up but is sending https://XXXXXX-xx/servicenowchecker/api/ServiceNow/GetServiceNowChangeStatus/$[ $PipelineChangeNumber ]?onlyDate=true and the ¤PipelineChangeNumber is null.

Passing variable between jobs in Azure Pipeline with empty result

I am writing an azure pipeline yml requesting to pass variables between jobs but the variables are not passing through. however, it wasn't successful and it returns an empty variable.
here is my pipeline:
jobs:
- job: UpdateVersion
variables:
terraformRepo: ${{ parameters.terraformRepo }}
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- checkout: self
persistCredentials: true
- checkout: ${{ parameters.terraformRepo }}
- task: AzureCLI#2
displayName: PerformVerUpdate
inputs:
azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureSubscriptionName }}
scriptType: bash
scriptLocation: inlineScript
inlineScript: |
echo Step 3 result
echo "Reponame $Reponame"
echo "notify $notify"
echo "pullRequestId $pullRequestId"
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=pullRequestId;isOutput=true;]$pullRequestId"
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=Reponame;isOutput=true;]$Reponame"
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=notify;isOutput=true;]true"
Name: PerformVerUpdate
- job: SlackSuccessNotification
dependsOn: UpdateVersion
condition: and(succeeded(), eq(dependencies.UpdateVersion.outputs['PerformVerUpdate.notify'], 'true'))
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
variables:
- group: platform-alerts-webhooks
- name: notify_J1
value: $[ dependencies.UpdateVersion.outputs['PerformVerUpdate.notify'] ]
- name: pullRequestId_J1
value: $[ dependencies.UpdateVersion.outputs['PerformVerUpdate.pullRequestId'] ]
- name: Reponame_J1
value: $[ dependencies.UpdateVersion.outputs['PerformVerUpdate.Reponame'] ]
steps:
- task: AzurePowerShell#5
displayName: Slack Notification
inputs:
pwsh: true
azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureSubscriptionName }}
ScriptType: 'InlineScript'
TargetAzurePs: LatestVersion
inline: |
write-host "Reponame $(Reponame_J1)"
write-host "pullRequest $(pullRequestId_J1)"
I've tried so many different syntax for it but the variables are still not able to pass through between both jobs - e.g. The condition is passing Null result to second job "(Expanded: and(True, eq(Null, 'true'))". Could anyone help with this?
Firstly 'Name' should be 'name' in lowercase
Name: PerformVerUpdate
The rest of syntax seems fine(I have tested it on Bash task because I do not have Azure subscription).
If renaming 'Name' does not help I suppose the problem may be that your Bash task is running within AzureCLI#2 task.
Maybe as workaround you could add new Bash task right after AzureCLI#2 and try to set there output variable for next job?

Drone template not triggering build

Following is how our.drone.yml looks like (and template also listed below) this an example configuration very much how we want in our production. The reason we are using a template is that our staging and production have similar configurations with values different in them(hence circuit template). And we wanted to remove duplication using the template circuit.yaml.
But currently, we are unable to do so df I don’t define the test.yaml(template) and have test step imported without template (and have the circuit template define to avoid the duplicate declaration of staging and production build) the drone build fails with
"template converter: template name given not found
If I define the test step as a template. I see the test step working but on creating the tag I see the following error
{"commit":"28ac7ad3a01728bd1e9ec2992fee36fae4b7c117","event":"tag","level":"info","msg":"trigger: skipping build, no matching pipelines","pipeline":"test","ref":"refs/tags/v1.4.0","repo":"meetme2meat/drone-example","time":"2022-01-07T19:16:15+05:30"}

How to pass variable as parameter, object type, to Azure DevOps template

To reduce duplicates I want to rewrite our Azure DevOps pipelines. The main pipelines looks like:
parameters:
- name: MODULE_Foo
type: boolean
default: false
- name: MODULE_Bar
type: boolean
default: false
...
- name: MODULE_X
type: boolean
default: false
...rest of parameters
- name: BRANCH_NAME
type: string
- name: CHECKOUT_TAG
type: boolean
default: false
extends:
template: template1.yml
parameters:
MODULES: ${{paramaters}}
BRANCH_NAME: ${{parameters.BRANCH_NAME}}
...rest of parameters
The template template1.yml:
parameters:
- name: MODULES
type: object
default: {}
...rest of parameters
stages:
- stage: Build
jobs:
- job: BuildAndDeploy
steps:
- bash: |
MODULES=$(echo "${{ convertToJson(parameters.MODULES) }}" \
| sed -E 's/^([[:space:]]+)/\1"/;s/(:[[:space:]]+)/"\1"/;s/,$/",/;s/([^{},])$/\1"/' \
| jq 'with_entries( select(.key | startswith("MODULE_") ) )' \
)
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=MODULES;]$MODULES"
- template: template2.yml
parameters:
MODULES: $(MODULES)
...rest of parameters
And finally template2.yml:
parameters:
- name: MODULES
type: object
default: {}
...rest of parameters
- ${{ each module in parameters.MODULES }}:
- ${{ if and(startsWith(module.Key, 'module'), eq(module.Value, true)) }}:
- bash: |
echo "Module to build: ${{module.key}}, Value: ${{module.value}}"
Now I'm stuck.
How to pass a variable as parameter to a template?
To the template is passed empty string '' for ${{variables.MODULES}} or '$(MODULES)' for $(MODULES). But never generated string. I think that $(MODULES) is valid for this situation.
How to create a valid object, which can be iterated inside each loop in template?
I think that my construction with convertToJson, sed, and jq is not correct.
My goal is to eliminate the MODULE_ parameter group from the templates. Currently, every template contains a duplicate of this parameter section.

How to use github actions bot for testing gradle java

I am trying to implement Github-actions(bot), which runs gradle test when PR has been created.
To assure that my workflow file works as I expected, I explicitly wrote a test method which should cause failure.
#Test
fun thisShouldFail() {
assertEquals(1, 2)
}
When I try testing on my local machine, I get the log below.
> Task :test FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
# More
Above log indicates that there was something wrong in the test codes as I expected it to be.
But then Github actions bot runs this command, the test code result is SUCCESS.
Below is my github workflow yaml file for this action.
name: PullRequestGradleTest
on:
pull_request_target:
types: [labeled]
jobs:
test:
name: GradleTest
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
if: contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'STAGING')

- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Setup JDK 1.8
uses: actions/setup-java#v2
with:
java-version: '8'
distribution: 'adopt'
- name: Grant Permissions to gradlew
run: chmod +x gradlew
- name: Test
run: gradle test --tests "*"
- name: Test Success
if: success()
uses: actions/github-script#0.2.0
with:
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
script: |
const pull_number = "${{github.event.number}}"
await github.pulls.createReview({
...context.repo,
pull_number,
body: "All tests passed.",
event: "APPROVE"
})
- name: Test Fail
if: failure()
uses: actions/github-script#0.2.0
with:
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
script: |
const pull_number = "${{github.event.number}}"
await github.pulls.createReview({
...context.repo,
pull_number,
body: "There is something wrong with test codes.",
event: "REQUEST_CHANGES"
})
await github.pulls.update({
...context.repo,
pull_number,
state: "closed"
})
I found that you are using gradle, not gradlew.

If you use gradle in the command, it will depend on the machine's environment. In this case, there is a possibility that occurs error because of Gradle version. Therefore, you need to use the project's Gradle which is included with your repo. The way to use is using gradlew scripts.
I also recommend following these three steps to test the branch for the pull request.
Clean -> Assemble(or build) -> Test
Base problem was that if we use pull_request_target event, the action runs on the target branch, which would be the base branch that the PR will be merged into. To solve this problem, I had to explicitly set where this action will run on.
On job => steps
steps:
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2
with:
ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}
repository: ${{github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}
