![]() In addition to user-defined variables, Azure Pipelines has system variables with predefined values. To avoid this, make sure that you format multi-line variables correctly for the target operating system.Īzure DevOps never alters variable values, even if you provide unsupported formatting. Multi-line variables behave differently depending on the operating system. When formatting your variable, avoid special characters, don't use restricted names, and make sure you use a line ending format that works for the operating system of your agent. Variable values need to be formatted correctly before being passed as multi-line variables. User-defined multi-line variablesĪzure DevOps supports multi-line variables but there are a few limitations.ĭownstream components such as pipeline tasks may not handle the variable values correctly.Īzure DevOps won't alter user-defined variable values. Use templates to define variables in one file that are used in multiple pipelines. You can use a variable group to make variables available across multiple pipelines. There are naming restrictions for variables (example: you can't use secret at the start of a variable name). User-defined variables can be set as read-only. When you set a variable in the UI, that variable can be encrypted and set as secret. You can also specify variables outside of a YAML pipeline in the UI. In YAML pipelines, you can set variables at the root, stage, and job level. When you define a variable, you can use different syntaxes (macro, template expression, or runtime) and what syntax you use determines where in the pipeline your variable renders. Runtime parameters are typed and available during template parsing. Variables are different from runtime parameters. You can use variables with expressions to conditionally assign values and further customize pipelines. A variable set in the pipeline root level overrides a variable set in the Pipeline settings UI. A variable defined at the stage level overrides a variable set at the pipeline root level. So, a variable defined at the job level can override a variable set at the stage level. When you define the same variable in multiple places with the same name, the most locally scoped variable wins. The value of a variable can change from run to run or job to job of your pipeline. ![]() All variables are strings and are mutable. The most common use of variables is to define a value that you can then use in your pipeline. Variables give you a convenient way to get key bits of data into various parts of the pipeline. Service connections are called service endpoints, In Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2018 and previous versions,īuild and release pipelines are called definitions, ![]()
