Unexpected 'stages' Property Error in Azure DevOps YAML Pipeline

Question

Hello Azure DevOps Community,

I'm encountering an issue with my Azure DevOps pipeline configuration. Despite following the documentation and ensuring my YAML syntax is correct, I keep getting an "unexpected property stages" error when I run my pipeline. This error occurs even though my stages are defined at the root level of the YAML file, as per the Azure DevOps documentation. Here is a simplified snippet of my YAML configuration:

• The YAML syntax is correct, with proper indentation and no tabs.
• The stages keyword is placed at the root level.
• All features used are supported by my Azure DevOps version.

Despite these checks, the error persists. Here are my questions:

1. Are there known issues with defining stages in Azure DevOps pipelines that could lead to this error?
2. Is there a specific format or indentation requirement for stages that I might have overlooked?
3. Could this error be related to Azure DevOps version compatibility or known bugs?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!
