Azure DevOps extension to easily add Azure Repos pull request comments from pipeline with single pipeline task. Extension is free and Open Source.
Task can be used to communicate key information from build, dev deployment etc. to the developers. For example URL of the test environment for the pull request or any other data that would be nice to have visible without a need to go to the build logs for details.
If you like the extension, consider buying me a coffee ☕😊
...and if you don't like it then send me some feedback or improvement ideas through issues so I can make it better.
When extension is added to your organization then you can find it from the extensions list or you can add it simply to your yaml pipeline with the following task command:
- task: PullRequestComment@1
inputs:
active: false
# Markdown file - if this is set then the content of that file is used as comment
# and comment parameter is ignored. Use full path. Optional.
#markdownFile: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/your_markdown_file.md
# Only once - if you trigger PR comment task multiple times but
# you want it to add comment only once you can set this to true. Optional.
#addCommentOnlyOnce: false
# Update original - if you trigger PR comment task multiple times but
# you don't want to pollute your PR with multiple comments then you can make it
# to update the original comment. Optional.
#updatePreviousComment: false
