Of course we can use single task as step template. My start.yml is below.
parameters:
- name: dotnetrestore # the name of the parameter
type: step # data type is Step
default:
task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: dotnet restore
inputs:
command: restore
projects: "**/*.csproj"
steps:
- ${{ parameters.dotnetrestore }}
We can call this step variable from my main pipeline.
trigger:
- none
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
steps:
- template: start.yml
- script: echo step two
Update>>If you want to use dotnetcore step parameter in my main pipeline. The start.yml is below.
parameters:
- name: dotnetrestore # the name of the parameter
type: step # data type is Step
default:
script: echo This is default steps
steps:
- ${{ parameters.dotnetrestore }}
We can specify parameter for this step variable from main pipeline.
trigger:
- none
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
steps:
- template: start.yml
parameters:
dotnetrestore:
task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: dotnet restore
inputs:
command: restore
projects: "**/*.csproj"
- script: echo step two
