Azure DevOps: Track build status for commits in mutliple repositories pipeline

Question

I have a multi-repo pipeline

Can azure track build status for commits for repositories other than the self repo that contains the azure-pipelines.yaml file?

When a commit is built in another pipeline status badge is not shown. It seems the build is linked to the last commit of the self repo instead of the triggering repo

I don't know how to modify this behaviour and I'm expect that the build is linked to the commit that trigger the pipeline (commit of another repo).

Answer 1

The build status badge is displayed because by default, the option to Report build status is enabled for a YAML pipeline; and this option will have the badge displayed on the source repository instead of the repository resource that triggers the pipeline.

For this, you can suggest a feature request to display the build status badge on all repository resources. As of now, you may also consider the workaround to add a status badge to your repository Readme.md with the help of the badge Markdown.

Hope the information would be helpful.
