Create pipleine in Azure devops by rest API failed - Value cannot be null. Parameter name: repositoryName

I am tring to create Azure devops (tfs) Pipeline by rets API as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/pipelines/create?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0

Request url: https://tfs.xxx/tfs/Projects/xxx/_apis/pipelines?api-version=6.0-preview Request body:

{   
    "folder": null,   
    "name": "pipeline-made-by-api",   
    "configuration": {     
        "type": "yaml",     
        "path": "build.yaml",     
        "repository": {       
            "id": "xxx",       
            "name": "xxx-repo",       
            "type": "azureReposGit"     
        }   
    } 
}

I got error 400 with response:

{"$id":"1","innerException":null,"message":"Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: repositoryName","typeName":"System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib","typeKey":"ArgumentNullException","errorCode":0,"eventId":0}

I don't see any parameter called repositoryName in the documentation.

Thanks!

EDITED:

I tried by shell script too:

Solution

  • The shell script sample:

    PAT="PAT"
ORG_URL="http://vm0/DefaultCollection"
PROJECT="Project2"
PIPELINE_NAME="test2"
YAML_PATH="build.yml"
repositoryId="3axx-1xx8-4xxb-8xx6-800xx4594e"
repositoryName="Project2"


curl -u ":$PAT" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "configuration": {
      
      "type": "yaml",
      "path": "'"$YAML_PATH"'",
      "repository": {
        "id": "'"$repositoryId"'",
        "name":"'"$repositoryName"'",
        "type": "azureReposGit"
      }
    },
    "name": "'"$PIPELINE_NAME"'",
    "folder": "testfolder"

  }' \
  "$ORG_URL/$PROJECT/_apis/pipelines?api-version=6.0-preview"
