azure devops yaml - consuming variable outputs from a multistage build

 

This is an example that show how we can output a variable and consume it in a different stage and different job. 

In JobA, we output a variable called myOutput. 

Then it is consume in JobB with  $(JobA.SetJobOutput.myOutput).

It is also consume in StageB by specifying the stage, job and output name 

stages:

- stage: StageA

  jobs:

  - job: JobA

    steps:

    - script: echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=myOutput;isOutput=true]hello"

      name: SetOutput

 

  - job: JobB

    dependsOn: JobA

    steps:

    - script: echo "The output from JobA is: $(JobA.SetJobOutput.myOutput)"

- stage: StageB

  dependsOn: StageA

  jobs:

  - job: JobB

    steps:

    - script: echo "The output is $(StageA.SetOutput.myOutput)"
