Create your first pipeline

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

This is a step-by-step guide to using Azure Pipelines to build a sample application from a Git repository. This guide uses YAML pipelines configured with the YAML pipeline editor. If you'd like to use Classic pipelines instead, see Define your Classic pipeline. For guidance on using TFVC, see Build TFVC repositories.

Prerequisites - Azure DevOps

Make sure you have the following items:

  • A GitHub account where you can create a repository. Create one for free.

  • An Azure DevOps organization. Create one for free. If your team already has one, then make sure you're an administrator of the Azure DevOps project that you want to use.

  • An ability to run pipelines on Microsoft-hosted agents. To use Microsoft-hosted agents, your Azure DevOps organization must have access to Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs. You can either purchase a parallel job or you can request a free grant.

Create your first pipeline

Get the Java sample code

To get started, fork the following repository into your GitHub account.

https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/pipelines-java

Create your first Java pipeline

  1. Sign in to your Azure DevOps organization and go to your project.

  2. Go to Pipelines, and then select New pipeline or Create pipeline if creating your first pipeline.

  3. Do the steps of the wizard by first selecting GitHub as the location of your source code.

  4. You might be redirected to GitHub to sign in. If so, enter your GitHub credentials.

  5. When you see the list of repositories, select your repository.

  6. You might be redirected to GitHub to install the Azure Pipelines app. If so, select Approve & install.

  1. Azure Pipelines will analyze your repository and recommend the Maven pipeline template.

  2. When your new pipeline appears, take a look at the YAML to see what it does. When you're ready, select Save and run.

  3. You're prompted to commit a new azure-pipelines.yml file to your repository. After you're happy with the message, select Save and run again.

    If you want to watch your pipeline in action, select the build job.

    You just created and ran a pipeline that we automatically created for you, because your code appeared to be a good match for the Maven template.

    You now have a working YAML pipeline (azure-pipelines.yml) in your repository that's ready for you to customize!

  4. When you're ready to make changes to your pipeline, select it in the Pipelines page, and then Edit the azure-pipelines.yml file.

Learn more about working with Java in your pipeline.

View and manage your pipelines

You can view and manage your pipelines by choosing Pipelines from the left-hand menu to go to the pipelines landing page.

Screenshot of pipelines landing page.

From the pipelines landing page you can view pipelines and pipeline runs, create and import pipelines, manage security, and drill down into pipeline and run details.

Choose Recent to view recently run pipelines (the default view), or choose All to view all pipelines.

Screenshot of options for viewing pipeline runs on the pipelines landing page.

Select a pipeline to manage that pipeline and view the runs. Select the build number for the last run to view the results of that build, select the branch name to view the branch for that run, or select the context menu to run the pipeline and perform other management actions.

Screenshot of recently run pipelines.

Select Runs to view all pipeline runs. You can optionally filter the displayed runs.

Select a pipeline run to view information about that run.

You can choose to Retain or Delete a run from the context menu. For more information on run retention, see Build and release retention policies.

Screenshot of pipeline run context menu.

View pipeline details

The details page for a pipeline allows you to view and manage that pipeline.

Screenshot of pipeline details page.

Choose Edit to edit your pipeline. For more information, see YAML pipeline editor. You can also edit your pipeline by modifying the azure-pipelines.yml file directly in the repository that hosts the pipeline.

View pipeline run details

From the pipeline run summary you can view the status of your run, both while it is running and when it is complete.

Screenshot of pipeline run summary.

From the summary pane you can view job and stage details, download artifacts, and navigate to linked commits, test results, and work items.

Jobs and stages

The jobs pane displays an overview of the status of your stages and jobs. This pane may have multiple tabs depending on whether your pipeline has stages and jobs, or just jobs. In this example, the pipeline has two stages named Build and Deploy. You can drill down into the pipeline steps by choosing the job from either the Stages or Jobs pane.

Screenshot of pipeline jobs and stages.

Choose a job to see the steps for that job.

Screenshot of pipeline tasks.

From the steps view, you can review the status and details of each step. From the More actions you can toggle timestamps or view a raw log of all steps in the pipeline.

Screenshot of pipeline tasks content menu.

Cancel and re-run a pipeline

If the pipeline is running, you can cancel it by choosing Cancel. If the run has completed, you can re-run the pipeline by choosing Run new.

Screenshot of cancelling a pipeline run.

Pipeline run more actions menu

From the More actions menu you can download logs, add tags, edit the pipeline, delete the run, and configure retention for the run.

Screenshot of pipeline run summary page more actions menu.

Note

You can't delete a run if the run is retained. If you don't see Delete, choose Stop retaining run, and then delete the run. If you see both Delete and View retention releases, one or more configured retention policies still apply to your run. Choose View retention releases, delete the policies (only the policies for the selected run are removed), and then delete the run.

Add a status badge to your repository

Many developers like to show that they're keeping their code quality high by displaying a status badge in their repo.

Status badge shows Azure pipeline succeeded

To copy the status badge to your clipboard:

  1. In Azure Pipelines, go to the Pipelines page to view the list of pipelines. Select the pipeline you created in the previous section.

  2. Select , and then select Status badge.

  3. Select Status badge.

  4. Copy the sample Markdown from the Sample markdown section.

Now with the badge Markdown in your clipboard, take the following steps in GitHub:

  1. Go to the list of files and select Readme.md. Select the pencil icon to edit.

  2. Paste the status badge Markdown at the beginning of the file.

  3. Commit the change to the main branch.

  4. Notice that the status badge appears in the description of your repository.

To configure anonymous access to badges for private projects:

  1. Navigate to Project Settings in the bottom left corner of the page

  2. Open the Settings tab under Pipelines

  3. Toggle the Disable anonymous access to badges slider under General

Note

Even in a private project, anonymous badge access is enabled by default. With anonymous badge access enabled, users outside your organization might be able to query information such as project names, branch names, job names, and build status through the badge status API.

Because you just changed the Readme.md file in this repository, Azure Pipelines automatically builds your code, according to the configuration in the azure-pipelines.yml file at the root of your repository. Back in Azure Pipelines, observe that a new run appears. Each time you make an edit, Azure Pipelines starts a new run.

We'll show you how to use the classic editor in Azure DevOps Server 2019 to create a build and release that prints "Hello world".

Prerequisites

Initialize your repository

If you already have a repository in your project, you can skip to the next step: Skip to adding a script to your repo

  1. Go to Azure Repos. (The Code hub in the previous navigation)

    Repos files

  2. If your project is empty, you will be greeted with a screen to help you add code to your repository. Choose the bottom choice to initialize your repo with a readme file:

    Initialize repository

Add a script to your repository

Create a PowerShell script that prints Hello world.

  1. Go to Azure Repos.

  2. Add a file.

    On the Files tab, from the repo node, select the New File option

  3. In the dialog box, name your new file and create it.

    HelloWorld.ps1
    
  4. Copy and paste this script.

    Write-Host "Hello world"
    
  5. Commit (save) the file.

In this tutorial, our focus is on CI/CD, so we're keeping the code part simple. We're working in an Azure Repos Git repository directly in your web browser.

When you're ready to begin building and deploying a real app, you can use a wide range of version control clients and services with Azure Pipelines CI builds. Learn more.

Create a build pipeline

Create a build pipeline that prints "Hello world."

  1. Select Azure Pipelines, it should automatically take you to the Builds page.

    Go to Builds tab

  2. Create a new pipeline.

    Select the build tab button

    For new Azure DevOps users, this will automatically take you to the YAML pipeline creation experience. To get to the classic editor and complete this guide, you must turn off the preview feature for the New YAML pipeline creation experience:

    Click settings in top right of screen and click preview features

    Click toggle to turn yaml preview feature off

  3. Make sure that the source, project, repository, and default branch match the location in which you created the script.

  4. Start with an Empty job.

  5. On the left side, select Pipeline and specify whatever Name you want to use. For the Agent pool, select Hosted VS2017.

  6. On the left side, select the plus sign ( + ) to add a task to Job 1. On the right side, select the Utility category, select the PowerShell task from the list, and then choose Add.

    Add the build task to the job

  7. On the left side, select your new PowerShell script task.

  8. For the Script Path argument, select the button to browse your repository and select the script you created.

    Select your script

  9. Select Save & queue, and then select Save.

A build pipeline is the entity through which you define your automated build pipeline. In the build pipeline, you compose a set of tasks, each of which perform a step in your build. The task catalog provides a rich set of tasks for you to get started. You can also add PowerShell or shell scripts to your build pipeline.

Publish an artifact from your build

A typical build produces an artifact that can then be deployed to various stages in a release. Here to demonstrate the capability in a simple way, we'll simply publish the script as the artifact.

  1. On the Tasks tab, select the plus sign ( + ) to add a task to Job 1.

  2. Select the Utility category, select the Publish Build Artifacts task, and then select Add.

    Add the publish artifact task

    Path to publish: Select the button to browse and select the script you created.

    Artifact name: Enter drop.

    Artifact publish location: Select Azure Artifacts/TFS.

Artifacts are the files that you want your build to produce. Artifacts can be nearly anything your team needs to test or deploy your app. For example, you've got a .DLL and .EXE executable files and .PDB symbols file of a C# or C++ .NET Windows app.

To enable you to produce artifacts, we provide tools such as copying with pattern matching, and a staging directory in which you can gather your artifacts before publishing them. See Artifacts in Azure Pipelines.

Enable continuous integration (CI)

  1. Select the Triggers tab.

  2. Enable Continuous integration.

A continuous integration trigger on a build pipeline indicates that the system should automatically queue a new build whenever a code change is committed. You can make the trigger more general or more specific, and also schedule your build (for example, on a nightly basis). See Build triggers.

Save and queue the build

Save and queue a build manually and test your build pipeline.

  1. Select Save & queue, and then select Save & queue.

  2. On the dialog box, select Save & queue once more.

    This queues a new build on the Microsoft-hosted agent.

  3. You see a link to the new build on the top of the page.

    build console

    Choose the link to watch the new build as it happens. Once the agent is allocated, you'll start seeing the live logs of the build. Notice that the PowerShell script is run as part of the build, and that "Hello world" is printed to the console.

    Watch in the build console

  4. Go to the build summary. On the Artifacts tab of the build, notice that the script is published as an artifact.

    Open the build console to see the artifact

Add some variables and commit a change to your script

We'll pass some build variables to the script to make our pipeline a bit more interesting. Then we'll commit a change to a script and watch the CI pipeline run automatically to validate the change.

  1. Edit your build pipeline.

  2. On the Tasks tab, select the PowerShell script task.

  3. Add these arguments.

Open the PowerShell task in the build console

Arguments

-greeter "$(Build.RequestedFor)" -trigger "$(Build.Reason)"

Finally, save the build pipeline.

Next you'll add the arguments to your script.

  1. Go to your Files in Azure Repos (the Code hub in the previous navigation and TFS).

  2. Select the HelloWorld.ps1 file, and then Edit the file.

  3. Change the script as follows:

    Param(
    [string]$greeter,
    [string]$trigger
    )
    Write-Host "Hello world" from $greeter
    Write-Host Trigger: $trigger
    
  4. Commit (save) the script.

Now you can see the results of your changes. Go to Azure Pipelines and select Queued. Notice under the Queued or running section that a build is automatically triggered by the change that you committed.

  1. Select the new build that was created and view its log.

  2. Notice that the person who changed the code has their name printed in the greeting message. You also see printed that this was a CI build.

Build a summary PowerShell script log

We just introduced the concept of build variables in these steps. We printed the value of a variable that is automatically predefined and initialized by the system. You can also define custom variables and use them either in arguments to your tasks, or as environment variables within your scripts. To learn more about variables, see Build variables.

You've got a build pipeline. What's next?

You've created a build pipeline that automatically builds and validates whatever code is checked in by your team. At this point, you can continue to the next section to learn about release pipelines. Or, if you prefer, you can skip ahead to create a build pipeline for your app.

Create a release pipeline

Define the process for running the script in two stages.

  1. Go to the Pipelines tab, and then select Releases.

  2. Select the action to create a New pipeline. If a release pipeline is already created, select the plus sign ( + ) and then select Create a release pipeline.

  3. Select the action to start with an Empty job.

  4. Name the stage QA.

  5. In the Artifacts panel, select + Add and specify a Source (Build pipeline). Select Add.

  6. Select the Lightning bolt to trigger continuous deployment and then enable the Continuous deployment trigger on the right.

    Select lightning bolt to trigger continuous deployment

  7. Select the Tasks tab and select your QA stage.

  8. Select the plus sign ( + ) for the job to add a task to the job.

  9. On the Add tasks dialog box, select Utility, locate the PowerShell task, and then select its Add button.

  10. On the left side, select your new PowerShell script task.

  11. For the Script Path argument, select the button to browse your artifacts and select the script you created.

  12. Add these Arguments:

    -greeter "$(Release.RequestedFor)" -trigger "$(Build.DefinitionName)"
    
  13. On the Pipeline tab, select the QA stage and select Clone.

    Clone the release environment in QA

  14. Rename the cloned stage Production.

  15. Rename the release pipeline Hello world.

    Rename the release pipeline hello world

  16. Save the release pipeline.

A release pipeline is a collection of stages to which the application build artifacts are deployed. It also defines the actual deployment pipeline for each stage, as well as how the artifacts are promoted from one stage to another.

Also, notice that we used some variables in our script arguments. In this case, we used release variables instead of the build variables we used for the build pipeline.

Deploy a release

Run the script in each stage.

  1. Create a new release.

    Create release - DevOps 2019 and 2020

    When Create new release appears, select Create.

  2. Open the release that you created.

    release created - DevOps 2019 and 2020

  3. View the logs to get real-time data about the release.

    release logs - DevOps 2019 and 2020

You can track the progress of each release to see if it has been deployed to all the stages. You can track the commits that are part of each release, the associated work items, and the results of any test runs that you've added to the release pipeline.

Change your code and watch it automatically deploy to production

We'll make one more change to the script. This time it will automatically build and then get deployed all the way to the production stage.

  1. Go to the Code hub, Files tab, edit the HelloWorld.ps1 file, and change it as follows:

    Param(
    [string]$greeter,
    [string]$trigger
    )
    Write-Host "Hello world" from $greeter
    Write-Host Trigger: $trigger
    Write-Host "Now that you've got CI/CD, you can automatically deploy your app every time your team checks in code."
    
  2. Commit (save) the script.

  3. Select the Builds tab to see the build queued and run.

  4. After the build is completed, select the Releases tab, open the new release, and then go to the Logs.

Your new code automatically is deployed in the QA stage, and then in the Production stage.
