In the classic release pipeline it was possible to add other pipelines as Artifact resources - these could be triggers, or just references. You could then reference information about them, e.g. the build id using $(Release.Artifacts.ARTIFACTNAME.BuildId).
You can now do something similar in a multi-stage yaml pipeline:
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: MyBuild
source: My build pipeline name
trigger:
branches:
- master
steps:
- task: PowerShell@2
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: Write-Host Referenced pipeline build id is: ???
But as per the PowerShell step above, I can't find a way to get the build id of a resource associated in this way, and I can't spot anything in the documentation yet.
Some desperate attempts I've made are:
$(Release.Artifacts.MyBuild.BuildId)
$(resources.MyBuild.BuildId)
$(BuildId@MyBuild)
Does anyone know how this can be done?
The newest release notes has a new set of predefined variables.
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.projectName
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.projectID
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.pipelineName
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.pipelineID
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.runName
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.runID
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.runURI
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.sourceBranch
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.sourceCommit
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.sourceProvider
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.requestedFor
resources.pipeline.{Alias}.requestedForID
