Azure Devops Pipeline Bug

[glaucius]

Hey guys, I'm having an issue to deploy a scaler for my Azure Devops pool

1 - yaml manifest

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: pipeline-auth
  namespace: azuredevops
data:
  personalAccessToken: "{my_pat_with_base64}"
---
apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: TriggerAuthentication
metadata:
  name: pipeline-trigger-auth
  namespace: azuredevops
spec:
  secretTargetRef:
    - parameter: personalAccessToken
      name: pipeline-auth
      key: personalAccessToken
---
apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: ScaledObject
metadata:
  name: azure-pipelines-scaledobject
  namespace: azuredevops
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    name: azuredevops
  minReplicaCount: 1
  maxReplicaCount: 5 
  triggers:
  - type: azure-pipelines
    metadata:
      poolID: "146"
      organizationURLFromEnv: "https://dev.azure.com/MyOrg"
    authenticationRef:
     name: pipeline-trigger-auth
```

I tried a lot of times, deleting everything and creating again, but allways same error.

thanks !!!!!

Some parameters could be provided using environmental variables, instead of setting them directly in metadata. In this case, you place it directly instead of via an environment variable. In the documentation, from another scaler, there is an example of how this works with environment variables.

hi Rick, thanks for feedback.
I could fix it doing like you said, and it worked, take a look how it is now:

---

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: pipeline-auth
namespace: azuredevops
data:
personalAccessToken: PAT_BASE64
organizationURL: BASE_URL_BASE64

apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: TriggerAuthentication
metadata:
name: pipeline-trigger-auth
namespace: azuredevops
spec:
secretTargetRef:
- parameter: personalAccessToken
name: pipeline-auth # pipeline-auth
key: personalAccessToken # personalAccessToken
- parameter: organizationURL
name: pipeline-auth # pipeline-auth
key: organizationURL

apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: ScaledObject
metadata:
name: azure-pipelines-scaledobject
namespace: azuredevops
spec:
scaleTargetRef:
name: azuredevops
minReplicaCount: 0
maxReplicaCount: 10
cooldownPeriod: 3
triggers:

• type: azure-pipelines
  metadata:
  poolName: "MY-POOL"
  authenticationRef:
  name: pipeline-trigger-auth

thanks again
