I am referencing a repository in my azure-pipelines template like this:
resources:
repositories:
- repository: MyRepo
type: git
name: MyRepoName
ref: MyRepoRef
I would like to know if it is possible to read the content of a file that is inside the referenced repository, inside this repository is another yaml that is being executed in the pipeline.
If we use another repo in the pipeline, we could read the content of a file in the referenced repository. We could refer this link for more details
In my test, project name is test, the referenced repository is test and current repository is sample, then I read the content of file pull_request_template.md
YAML build definition:
trigger: none
resources:
repositories:
- repository: test
type: git
name: test/test
ref: master
steps:
#checkout referenced repository
- checkout: test
#List SourcesDirectory files
- task: Bash@3
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: 'ls ''$(Build.SourcesDirectory)'''
#Read the contents of the file pull_request_template.md
- task: PowerShell@2
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: 'Get-Content -Path $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\pull_request_template.md'
Result:
