How to run the Invoke-AzVMRunCommand from the Azure DevOps Pipeline, when the -ScriptPath is in the Azure Devops Repository.

Question

I am trying to run this commad -

 - task: AzurePowerShell@5
   displayName: "Execute Export File in VM to Download Image Version in VHD"
   inputs:
     azureSubscription: 'SBX-kpmgnp'
     ScriptType: 'InlineScript'
     Inline: |      
      $scriptPath = 'C:\Users\adityamohapatra\Downloads\Export-AzureComputeGalleryImageVersion.ps1'    
      $params = @{
        ImageDefinitionName = "VMImageDef"
        ComputeGalleryName = "VMImageGallery"
        ComputeGalleryResourceGroupName = "AzureImagePOC"
        ImageVersionName = "1.0.9"
      }
      Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName 'IT' -VMName 'TestVM01' -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $scriptPath -Parameter $params
     azurePowerShellVersion: 'LatestVersion'

from Azure Devops Pipeline Task but not able to figure out how to configure it. In $scriptPath variable when i am giving the path of the Export file from the Azure Devops Repository, i am getting this error -

##[error]Cannot find drive. A drive with the name ' https' does not exist.

Please help me to resolve this.

Hi Aditya Mohapatra,

I understood that you want to run an script that inside of your repository from the powershell task on Azure Devops pipeline , in that case replace**$(Build.SourcesDirectory)** with the appropriate variable that points to the root of your repository.

For example lets assume that your script Export-azureComputeGalleryImageVersion.ps1 is on the directory scripts on your respository so you can update like this:

- task: AzurePowerShell@5
  displayName: "Execute Export File in VM to Download Image Version in VHD"
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: 'SBX-kpmgnp'
    ScriptType: 'InlineScript'
    Inline: |
      $scriptPath = '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/scripts/Export-AzureComputeGalleryImageVersion.ps1'
      $params = @{
        ImageDefinitionName = "VMImageDef"
        ComputeGalleryName = "VMImageGallery"
        ComputeGalleryResourceGroupName = "AzureImagePOC"
        ImageVersionName = "1.0.9"
      }
      Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName 'IT' -VMName 'TestVM01' -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $scriptPath -Parameter $params
    azurePowerShellVersion: 'LatestVersion'

In Azure DevOps pipelines, you can use predefined variables to reference different directories and other useful information (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml)
