Why multiple azure pipelines are being triggered although I am triggering only once?

Question

I have a source pipeline kvi_test which is triggering the HYBM_Pipelines_Rebuild on its completion. The pipeline in HYBM_Pipelines_Rebuild is

trigger: none


resources:
  pipelines:
  - pipeline: ArtifactsPipeline
    source: kvi_test  # Name of the pipeline generating artifacts
    trigger: true

   #pipeline steps...

When the kvi_test pipeline is completed HYBM_Pipelines_Rebuild is being triggered multiple times why?

Answer 1

From the screenshot that you have shared, I am pretty sure that you have created several pipelines, which all include the same pipeline resource kvi_test and are all defined to be triggered by the completion of each succeeded build of kvi_test.

Given the naming pattern, your repo name should be HYBM_Pipelines_Rebuild and all the pipelines HYBM_Pipelines_Rebuild (1) - (8) are probably using the same .yml file from this repo with the pipeline resource of kvi_test in its YAML definition.

Therefore, they are multiple pipelines with similar names, which are triggered by the same resource, rather than multiple builds of one single pipeline that gets triggered multiple times. Since this behavior may be unexpected, please remove additional pipelines if you believe it is unnecessary to use them.
