azuredevopspipelines-templates's Issues

passing variables inside templates

@HoussemDellai

Hi, I want to pass o/p one step to another step.for example,i need to call small first and output of small should be captured and passed as input variable to medium.check_status is runtime variable and it will set based on the exit code of each task or step.Could you please let me know the possible solution to use output of small as input to Medium?

below is the snippet of template

template: windows-tests.yml
parameters: integration_tests: [“Small”, “Medium”]
check_status: “$(Powershell1.var)”

code inside small test
$error_Code=$?
if (“$error_Code” -eq “True” -and “$(Powershell2.check_status)” -eq “true”)
{
Write-Host “##vso[task.setvariable variable=check_status;isOutput=true]true”
}
else { Write-Host “##vso[task.setvariable variable=check_status;isOutput=true]false”
}

Feature: Template for Dedicated Service Principal Generation?

Would you be able to make a template (similar to the remote storage backend template) but for setting up a dedicated Terraform Service Principal, or AD Application, to authenticate to Terraform before attempting to run Terraform.

For example, to run terraform in CI/CD you need to have a way to authenticate without user credentials on from your local azure-cli configuration. Therefore, as a pre-requisite to these templates, you could have a separate pipeline that uses azure-cli or resource manager service connection to create that RBSP and retrieve the credentials, stash then (keyvaul / devops variable group) and then proceed to the terraform IaC pipelines.
