This VS Code extension adds syntax highlighting and autocompletion for Azure Pipelines YAML to VS Code. It also helps you set up continuous build and deployment for Azure WebApps without leaving VS Code.
To set up a pipeline, choose Azure Pipelines: Configure Pipeline from the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P) or right-click in the file explorer. The guided workflow will generate a starter YAML file defining the build and deploy process.
You can customize the pipeline using all the features offered by Azure Pipelines..
Once the setup is completed, an automatic CI/CD trigger will fire for every code push. To set this up, the extension will ask for a GitHub PAT with repo and admin:repo_hook scope.
Basic YAML validation is built in to VS Code, but now you can have syntax highlighting that's aware of the Pipelines YAML schema. This means that you get red squigglies if you say tasks: where you meant task:. IntelliSense is also schema-aware. Wherever you are in the file, press Ctrl-Space to see what options you have at that point.
By default, the extension will highlight known Azure Pipelines files in the root of your workspace. You can change the language mode at the lower right to work with one file at a time. Click the language picker, then choose "Azure Pipelines". If you have files which should always use this extension, set your user or workspace settings to match those file paths with this extension. For example:
"files.associations": {
"**/ci/*.yml": "azure-pipelines"
}
