Can I validate an azure-pipelines.yml file via CLI?

I'm trying to build an azure-pipelines.yml for a monorepo, and I'm struggling to figure out how to debug the file as I move along.

Is there a command such as az deployment validate ./azure-pipelines.yml available?

If so, how do you recommend I go about doing this? I keep making changes, pushing them to my repo, and then letting Azure DevOps run it, and fail.

Solution

no, there is no way to validate it. when you try to run it - it will show you the error, thats the only real way to validate it.

this VSCode extension provides syntax highlighting and autocompletion.
