Dev env is skipping

Question

I'm looking for the reason why the DEV Environment is not executed immediately after the Testing stage. The general rule is that I have two pipelines: the first one does only Testing, then it triggers the second pipeline, which should perform the actual deployment using Terraform on the Dev Environment. The first part works, i.e., the first pipeline triggers the second one correctly, but the triggered one does not start the Dev Environment.

pipeline.yaml

name: MySource
resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: Library
      ref: test/pipeline    
trigger:
  batch: true
  branches:
    include:
      - test/pipeline
parameters:
  - name: pipelineMode
    displayName: Pipeline Mode
    type: string
    default: main
    values:
      - auto
      - feature
      - main
      - release

# rest of the code goes here

It should trigger that one below:

dependant_pipeline.yaml

trigger: none

resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: Library
      ref: test/pipeline
  pipelines:
    - pipeline: test-triggered
      project: DEV
      source: 'library'
      trigger:
        branches:
          include:
            - test/pipeline
parameters:
  - name: pipelineMode
    displayName: Pipeline Mode
    type: string
    default: main
    values:
      - auto
      - feature
      - main
      - release
extends:
  template: main-pipeline.yml
  parameters:
    devEnv: dev
    devVar: dev_variables.yml
    deployEnvTemp: deploy.yml

Taking a very quick look at your code I see a few problems in dependant_pipeline.yaml:

• A few parameters are missing: devEnvironment, devVariables, deployEnvironmentTemplate and deployParameters

• You forgot to pass the pipelineMode parameter to /templates/build.yml
