Scchheduled trigger is not working as expected in Azzure DevOps - YAML

Question

Here is the YAML file we use:

schedules:

  - cron: '45 0 * * 6'

    displayName: 19:45 PM (UTC-5 ) Friday build

    branches:

     include:

       - master

resources:

  repositories:

    - repository: self

      type: git

      ref: refs/heads/master

jobs:

  - job: Job_1

    displayName: Agent job 1

    pool:

      name: Default

    steps:

      - checkout: self

        fetchDepth: 1

      - task: PowerShell@2

        displayName: 'CleanUp user PowerShell Script'

        inputs:

          targetType: 'inline'

          script: |

            # Import the Active Directory module

              Write-host :"hello world: 

          publishLocation: 'Container'

when I click on pipeline --> 2 dots --> schedlued runs : I see following message:

i am seeing following message Scheduled runs There are no scheduled runs for this week. See schedules to learn about configuring or diagnosing problems with scheduled runs. If you believe this to be incorrect, select ‘Sync Schedules’ to read the schedules from the YAML file in default branch.

why it is so?

why pipeline is not triggering since March 29th?

here are the screenshots from trigger:

when I ran manually pipeline is working as expected:

Please suggest fix:

Hi @Diptesh Kumar ,

After setting up the Trigger in YAML, one needs to click on Sync Schedules, then it sinks the Schedule to the pipeline, I have placed a trigger at 10:10 am and later clicked on Sync Schedules, after that it has shown me the schedule:

Below is the YAML script:

trigger: none  

schedules:

  - cron: "40 4 * * 2"

    displayName: "10:40 AM IST - Tuesday Run"

    branches:

      include:

        - main

    always: true

pool:

  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

jobs:

  - job: SampleJob

    steps:

      - script: echo "Hello Rithwik, it is triggering at scheduled time"

Output:

Make sure to keep the correct branch in the yaml script.
