Azure Pipelines

Use the following Azure Pipelines YAML template

You can configure a build validation branch policy against a single repository or across all repositories. If you configure across all repositories then your pipeline is stored in a central repository.

Single Repository

Add the following to an azure-pipelines.yaml file within your code repository:

  # Run MegaLinter to detect linting and security issues
  - job: MegaLinter
    pool:
      vmImage: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # Checkout repo
      - checkout: self

      # Pull MegaLinter docker image
      - script: docker pull oxsecurity/megalinter:v8
        displayName: Pull MegaLinter

      # Run MegaLinter
      - script: |
          docker run -v $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory):/tmp/lint \
            --env-file <(env | grep -e SYSTEM_ -e BUILD_ -e TF_ -e AGENT_) \
            -e SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN=$(System.AccessToken) \
            -e GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER=$(System.AccessToken) \
            oxsecurity/megalinter:v8
        displayName: Run MegaLinter

      # Upload MegaLinter reports
      - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
        condition: succeededOrFailed()
        displayName: Upload MegaLinter reports
        inputs:
          targetPath: "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/megalinter-reports/"
          artifactName: MegaLinterReport

Central Repository

Add the following to an azure-pipelines.yaml file within a separate repository e.g. 'MegaLinter' repository:

# Run MegaLinter to detect linting and security issues

trigger: none

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

variables:
  repoName: $[ replace(split(variables['System.PullRequest.SourceRepositoryURI'], '/')[6], '%20', ' ') ]

steps:
  # Checkout triggering repo
  - checkout: git://$(System.TeamProject)/$(repoName)@$(System.PullRequest.SourceBranch)
    displayName: Checkout Triggering Repository

  # Pull MegaLinter docker image
  - script: docker pull oxsecurity/megalinter:v8
    displayName: Pull MegaLinter

  # Run MegaLinter
  - script: |
      docker run -v $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory):/tmp/lint \
        --env-file <(env | grep -e SYSTEM_ -e BUILD_ -e TF_ -e AGENT_) \
        -e SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN=$(System.AccessToken) \
        -e GIT_AUTHORIZATION_BEARER=$(System.AccessToken) \
        oxsecurity/megalinter:v8
    displayName: Run MegaLinter

  # Upload MegaLinter reports
  - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
    condition: succeededOrFailed()
    displayName: MegaLinter Report
    inputs:
      targetPath: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/megalinter-reports/
      artifactName: MegaLinterReport

Pull Request Comments

To benefit from Pull Request comments, please follow configuration instructions

Note: If your pipelines run on Azure DevOps but your source code is hosted on GitHub, and you want status reports to appear on GitHub, you must provide additional repository information to the pipeline. See this example for guidance.
