Syntax checker for Azure Pipeline YAML file

I am really annoyed by debug the syntax error by push a commit to trigger the pipeline.

Is there any azure pipeline YAML file syntax checker for intelliJ IDEA?

Solution

  • There is no Azure Pipelines YAML checker for intelliJ.

    You can use VS Code with Azure Pipelines extension to get syntax highlighting and autocompletion for azure-pipelines.yml files.

    You can also use Rest API to check your YAML, Microsfot release a new API endpoint:

    POST dev.azure.com/<org>/<project>/_apis/pipelines/<pipelineId>/runs?api-version=5.1-preview

{
  "PreviewRun": true,
  "YamlOverride": "# your new YAML here, optionally"
}

    Another option is to use PowerShell Module VSTeam:

    Test-VSTeamYamlPipeline -PipelineId 29 -FilePath .\azure-pipelines.yml -ProjectName MyProject
