FAQ

What other kinds of apps can I build?

What other kinds of build tasks are available?

Build and release tasks catalog

How do we protect our codebase from build breaks?

Git: Improve code quality with branch policies with an option to require that code builds before it can be merged to a branch. For GitHub repositories, similar policies are available in GitHub's repository settings under Branches.
TFVC: Use gated check-in.

How do I modify other parts of my build pipeline?

Build and release tasks to run tests, scripts, and a wide range of other processes.
Specify build options such as specifying how completed builds are named, building multiple configurations, creating work items on failure.
Supported source repositories to pick the source of the build and modify options such as how the agent workspace is cleaned.
Set build triggers to modify how your CI builds run and to specify scheduled builds.
Specify build retention policies to automatically delete old builds.

I selected parallel multi-configuration, but only one build is running at a time.

If you're using Azure Pipelines, you might need more parallel jobs. See Parallel jobs in Azure Pipelines.

How do I see what has changed in my build pipeline?

View the change history of your build pipeline

Do I need an agent?

You need at least one agent to run your build or release.

I'm having problems. How can I troubleshoot them?

See Troubleshoot Build and Release.

I can't select a default agent pool and I can't queue my build or release. How do I fix this?

See Agent pools.

My NuGet push task is failing with the following error: "Error: unable to get local issuer certificate". How can I fix this?

This can be fixed by adding a trusted root certificate. You can either add the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=file environment variable to your build agent, or you can add the NODE.EXTRA.CA.CERTS=file task variable in your pipeline. See Node.js documentation for more details about this variable. See Set variables in a pipeline for instructions on setting a variable in your pipeline.

I use TFS on-premises and I don't see some of these features. Why not?

Some of these features are available only on Azure Pipelines and not yet available on-premises. Some features are available on-premises if you have upgraded to the latest version of TFS.
