Issue
I am trying to run an Azure DevOps pipeline from the windows command prompt using curl. Based on Microsoft documentation ( href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/runs/run-pipeline?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Runs - Run Pipeline ) I should be able to run a pipeline by posting:
I am able to GET using the command:
curl -u :<PAT> https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs?api-version=6.0-preview.1
However, I can't figure out how to do a POST for DevOps using curl to run the pipeline.
I have tried the following:
curl -s -X POST -L https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs?api-version=6.0-preview.1 -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic <PAT>"
But this returns the error
HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length
Solution
I managed to solve my problem which consisted of numerous steps:
- Log the API call from the DevOps website to get the correct format of the json-body ( See this question ).
- Format the json-body with extra double quotation signs.
- Use the {project}-id instead of the ascii-name since it included a special character which the command prompt misinterpret.
Hence the complete curl command was:
curl -X POST -u :<PAT> "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs?api-version=6.0-preview.1" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{""stagesToSkip"": ""[]"", ""resources"": {""repositories"": {""self"": {""refName"": ""refs/heads/master""}}}}"
